Why when I use Arch In a VM In Virtualbox, it loops checking the NAT Adapter?

Question

For some reason, when I boot Arch on a VM in Virtualbox it boots and then goes into what send like an infinite loop of Last To Clean and all that, and it won't let me use the command line.

This might not be a network issue but it needs to be fixed and I don't know how to do that. . Can anyone help?

If it has the full desktop environment it isn't net-install. I would try reinstalling maybe try following a guide for Arch installing. If you want to recover the one you are working with you could see if there is some sort of shortcuts. You could also connect a usb dongle and see if connecting that USB device to the VM works for enabling it to connect to wifi. — Michael Hearn, Nov 16 '19 at 04:27

So you were trying to boot arch linux in a vm with the nat setting on and it got stuck. Did you look here Stuck while loading kernel ? You if it is really the nat setting causing the problem you could also try to use a wireless dongle and use the USB pass through vm setting and see if it works.

And The Arch Wiki Probably Doesn't Have A Guide To Setup Issues In Virtualbox – Calebayes Nov 16 '19 at 05:28

You can run 64bit images on a 32bit OS as long as the processor chip can support it. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/15813/100397 – Chris Davies Nov 16 '19 at 05:47
