This was no log just output from stderr.

There are no messages from command line launch. The VM just ends without any
message. I have come to believe that it is due to harware problems with the
partition in which the VM lives. I will proceed with this assumption by creating
a new VM in another partition and see if I can reinstall the OS there.
If it is correct what you say (I have no reason to believe otherwise) I should
soon be up and running.
Thanks for your information.
