Bootcamp VM not starting.
For some reason my direct Bootcamp VM has suddenly stopped starting up, I deleted it and recreated and it booted once, and thereafter failed again in same manner. The basic error message given is rather unhelpful.
"Failed to start the virtual machine"
From a quick look at the log the relevant time section from one earlier occurance of error is included below, any ideas?:
