One way to check is: once it gets stuck at the boot screen (grub), shut it off (not just a reset) and then on again. What happens on the next boot? If it gets stuck again, then my theory is right and there's nothing we can do.

I tried quit the qemu process when this happens, then launch the qemu again, the vm still, get stuck at the grub, Regards, Xiaoqing.

Since you're rebooting the VM "the hard way" many times, this is expected (it's like hitting the "reset" button on a physical machines while the OS is alive... odds are at some point it'll stop working if you do this many times) |
