Home Assistant 8.3 and 8.4 broken on Virtualbox and Hyper-V

[scarolan]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

See here for background: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/supervisor-wont-start-in-virtualbox-vm/447644/5

I attempted to run Home Assistant in both Virtualbox and with HyperV. The homeassistant container never starts with versions 8.3 and 8.4, but it starts up fine with version 8.2. It appears some kind of regression has been introduced into the build.

What operating system image do you use?

ova (for Virtual Machines)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

8.2

Did you upgrade the Operating System.

No

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install virtualbox or hyperv
2. Follow the installation instructions here: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/windows
3. Start the VM. Observe how the 'homeassistant' container never starts, and nothing is listening on port 8123.

I just tried v8.2, v8.4 and v8.5 and all run fine on Hyper-V (Windows 10 Pro) for me. I didn't try VirtualBox.

Maybe someone can test this on Windows 11. I suspect something might have changed between Win10 and Win11.

Upgrading a VirtualBox VM running Hass OS from 8.1 to 8.4 now causes it not to boot on a Windows 10 host.

It now gets stuck at Starting Docker Application Container Engine -- says a start job has been running for 20 minutes.

Can't access the supervisor (4357), ssh, etc.

I can get a prompt on the 2nd virtual console (ALT+F2) - trying to do a docker ps hangs.

I'm still running VirtualBox 6.1.30, because the Hass OS VM wouldn't boot with 6.1.32, 6.1.34, due to a VBox bug.

Currently trying to figure out, how to recover this VM (rollback to 8.1) and how to get any useful debug info off the VM.

Was able to catch the kernel messages about an "Oops" when booting Hass OS 8.4:

When I'm seeing the problem where HassOS fails to complete booting (because dockerd/containerd never finishes starting up, there is a kernel Oops. I copied off the dmesg content so I could post it here:
