I have tried some method form here: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/homestead-doesnt-boot-up

my software information:

vagrant 1.7.2 virtualbox 4.3.26 window 8.1

anyone have idea to solve it?

Answer 1

It seems its a virtual box / vagrant version incompatibility issue

I uninstalled Virtual Box 4.3.14 and installed Virtual Box 4.3.12 and it worked. Basically I downgraded virtual box.
