Cloudera Quickstart VM 5.5 failed to boot on VirtualBox 5.0.14

[#1]

No, I cannot boot up it in VirtualBox with another copy downloaded, I have to switch to VMWare image(cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.7.0-0-vmware), and run the VM with VMWare Player, it's able to be boot up now. :)

Was this issue resolved after another download  or did you make any config changes ?

After the below message:

init: prefdm respawning too fast, stopped

message get out and remain blank (Black) no action going on or not showing any message .

I am having the same issue. I thought maybe it was because my laptop (Dell Vostros) was 7 years old, but I am not sure. I hope the import of the .ovf file works for me.  Thank you for this post - it sounds EXACTLY like my own experience.  Good luck!

I'm getting a problem with something like this. 

The announce is "Failed to import cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.4.2.0-virtualbox-disk1.vmdk"

does anybody have this problem?
