Will Not Boot After Update - mmcglynn - 05-08-2018
I am running the OS in Virtual Box. I've just updated the OS without issue and restarted the system as directed.
The system boots to a black window. The same is true after multiple attempts to restart.
I can't do anything. While booting, the window resizes itself a few times, but always end up on a smaller, black window.
Help.

Consider the Hardware -> Booting Issues section of the Help Manual.

Thank you, that sent me in the right direction.
It did boot in verbose mode, but is hung on:
[tt]
[ OK ] Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes.[/tt]
I can run on an updated snapshot. I had also updated Virtualbox to Version 5.2.10 r122088 (Qt5.6.3) on the snapshot prior to the OS update ran fine. Based on some Googling https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/391612/boot-stopped-at-started-update-utmp-about-system-runlevel-changes-headless-s/391900, this looks like an xwindows issue.
Nothing has changed with the host MBP.

Most probably the problem is the vm toolbox modules, see here :

You have to put some module on "hold" for them NOT to update.
