Question

After installing androidx86 on VirtualBox at boot android boot in CLI and after a couple of seconds I got a black screen, with a blinking underscore at the top-left of the screen, its keep blinking without any change, it wont boot the gui.

I have tried different installations following various guides on internet, but I got ever the same problem, I have also tried with Alt+f7 key combo and putting nomodoeset in boot option in grub, but nothing.

In all tutorial I have found online they always start the gui without any problem. But I got always the black screen after 2 seconds of cli.
