Found that the USB devices error with #2, so set to #1 and the system would run.  Also found the guest extensions as out of date.  I was using 5.0.4 and need to update to 5.1.xxx.  5.2 is out but unstable.  Working on it, but at least the system is again usable. ::)

I too have the same issue.  Was running Win7, WinXP, Zoin, Debian 9.2, Emmabuntu, Manjaro 1705, Linspire 7.0 and Mint 18.3.  All have failed and slowly working out why.  The update at time was 37 units and took over 30 minutes.  Normally do updates about every 3-5 days, so this was a wonder.  System is Dell M4500 with 8gb ram and i7 processor.

Bug reports and documentation on some of these newer issues with virtual environments in Linux are not really correlated yet. Many are  because of kernel level mitigations in response to S/M and there are problems with older hardware and OSs. I have an older Debian AMD server, and a newer Debian AMD desktop as well. When qemu S/M mitigations began to roll out I ended up with an endless load loop precisely at the plymouth handoff point that loads lightdm on both of my virtual LL 3.8 systems on those machines. I had no issue with LL in gnome-boxes on my old Dell core2 duo running Ubuntu on the 4.13 kernel. The problem with AMD is definitely graphics firmware related. You may have to move off the retpoline kernel on your base system for now, or run Windows 7 instead of XP.

After updating from v5.0.40, my windows xp virtual machine stops with an error dialogue during boot, and when I click 'OK', linuxLite locks up. Everything I can find about the error is on Intel based systems, but mine is AMD.
