Fatal Could Not Read the Boot Medium System Halted
Nosotros have several users that create virtual machines via VirtualBox using PxE to our WDS server. All has been working well for a calendar month until this morning time when a user stated they've been getting the error "FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted."
My first supposition was she was not pressing F12 chop-chop enough to outset the PxE, but information technology doesn't give the take chances to press F12 because it immediately goes to this mistake.
Since I was able to create VMs fine at my machine, I thought this was isolated to her machine until some other user stated they were getting the same error. Their network connection is fine and they're using the same settings as they e'er have been. Does VirtualBox accept a VM limit?
In that location is a test patch for this if you are using the latest version of Virtualbox which worked for me

Creating them works but does the PXE ever grab? Is the PXE server/endpoint down?
A few months back there was a Windows Update that caused bug with VirtualBox. Maybe that's happened again - take the PCs in question installed any updates recently?

Correct. They tin create the initial VM, simply cannot PxE boot. The PxE server is upward, but even if it wasn't, wouldn't the PxE request endeavour to initiate, but time out. Information technology doesn't even attempt that.

I would say the final updates they installed were last week. I'll accept to ask them if this is their first attempt at creating a new VM since so.
Everything went on pretty smoothly, until I tried to kicking up my first slave using PXE. Then I got the error message on the console of the new virtual auto:
FATAL: Could not read from the kick medium! Organisation halted.
Information technology seemed that the new virtual automobile didn't even endeavour make a connection to the dhcpd -server running on master. In PXE -boot, outset affair that the customer does is getting ip -address from the dhcpd -server. But cypher happened.
Afterwards ii or three hours of testing and checking configuration files, in a moment of agony, I tried to change the type of the network menu from "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop" to "PCnet-FAST Iii (Am79C973)" and everything started to piece of work. Wicked.

Does this aid your issue?Everything went on pretty smoothly, until I tried to kicking up my starting time slave using PXE. And then I got the error message on the console of the new virtual machine:

It seemed that the new virtual machine didn't fifty-fifty try make a connexion to the dhcpd -server running on master. In PXE -boot, first thing that the client does is getting ip -address from the dhcpd -server. But nil happened.Subsequently two or three hours of testing and checking configuration files, in a moment of desperation, I tried to modify the type of the network card from "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop" to "PCnet-FAST Three (Am79C973)" and everything started to work. Wicked.

I've tried changing the network card and nonetheless had the same problem. What's weird is that both users have about eight virtual machines already created and the ninth one is causing this problem. The other users that have less than this aren't having this issue. I don't understand what VirtualBox's reason would exist if there truly is a limit, just I'll contact them to brand certain.

What if you Delete and create a new VM?

I oasis't had a chance to attempt it as I'thousand working from home today. I'll accept one of them effort information technology when I go back tomorrow.

Deleting and creating a new ane yields the aforementioned error. It's as if they're unable to create more than viii which is odd.

Larn how to fix a common can not boot error in Virtual Box past remounting the organisation bulldoze epitome.
All y'all have to do is mountain a CD epitome or Hard drive of your Operating System virtual hard drive or create one in Virtual Box to fix the "Could not read from Kicking Medium! System Halted Error".
If your hard drive got corrupted, the easiest thing to do is remount your fill-in copy of your hard drive if y'all made a backup copy. Otherwise, yous may have to kick from the Operating CD or ISO and meet
if you tin employ the recovery tools like Recovery Console for Windows XP, etc for helping you make your system sectionalization/virtual machine bootable again.

Had the same issue with PXE boot from any VM. Applied the latest windows build revision 98674 and that fixed the issue.

Yeah. Information technology appears to be an issue with version four.3.22 so installing the examination build seemed to fix their issue. I am using 4.3.20 so that's why I wasn't seeing the issue.
