What are you reinstalling? New haos on old kvm? Old haos on new kvm? New deployment?

From the logs I read that your user chris has no rw perms within the haos.

This seems to be the juicero for the AI

It is called “downgrading”, and it is not uncommon to have some packages downgrading when updating/upgrading a system, due to several reasons.

That is why I also mentioned the latch/sensor, it may got stuck.

It sounds like the issue is with the lid latch/sensor, not with the graphics. Some laptops may not boot if the lid is closed, and some have options on the firmware to enable to boot when the lid is closed / on a docking station.

Yes. Don’t.

With vbox I don’t think you can do that, nor with any other hypervisor delivering full virtualization. You could try with a paravirtualization, like Xen, and see if you can trick the OS

Note that I don’t know if windows is supported as a paravirtualized guest.
