CentOS 6.8 v 2.3.0 freeze at SSH

[MarcFletcher]

I've just tried upgrading my vagrantfile from (provider is virtualbox 5.1.2):

config.vm.box = "bento/centos-6.7"

to

config.vm.box = "bento/centos-6.8"

(everything else is the same) and when I do:

vagrant destroy
vagrant up

the VM just hangs on the first SSH connect:

==> default: Booting VM...
==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
    default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
    default: SSH username: vagrant
    default: SSH auth method: private key

Switching back to the bento/centos-6.7 box resolves the problem. Any idea why the 6.8 version won't create?

@cheeseplus Which VirtualBox version did you build with? There is a regression in VB resulting in that packer creates VM's with the nic disconnected. See hashicorp/packer#3757

[MarcFletcher]

VirtualBox Version 5.1.2 r108956

I can confirm that upgrading to VB Version 5.1.6 r110634 resolved the problem for me.

@MarcFletcher did you have to delete some cache or global config or anything at all? I also have 5.1.6 but it still hangs.

@chris-fa Nope, just a straight up install of the latest VB.
