Description
Dear Support, I used to run a virtual ESXi ver 5.1 lab successfully on virtualbox 4.2.18 without any issue. Since I have upgraded to ver 4.3.2 the ESXi 5.1 failed to complete the start and stops on blank screen. Also trying to install a fresh ESXi 5.1 or 5.5 stops at blank screen after the first loading screen. It appears that there is something that has changed in the latest release possible with the video not sure that got us to lose such great feature of virtualbox which is the ability to nest other hypervisors in it for testing. Please check the bug and fix. Thank you Regards Vant

Please find attached 2 vbox log files from two different ESXi VMs. This on Vbox 4.3.4 The same VMs used to work on earlier version 4.2.18 but used to stop responding on the network after like 30 min. The same behaviour was exhibited on powerful 16 GB RAM i7 host. Thank you for your support

Same behavior here using 4.3.2 and 4.3.4 on Archlinux. I installed the 4.2.20 provided by virtualbox.org, and it's now working as before (4.2.18).

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
Please attach a VBox.log file of such a VM session with VBox 4.3.2 (better with 4.3.4 which was released last week).
