In a situation like this a serial console can be helpful. Set the kernel command-line to use the serial port (console=ttyS0) and make sure the VM is configured with a serial port device. This will allow you to follow the boot process. If you need an interactive prompt, check the distro initramfs scripts and set the relevant debug options to get a shell prompt during the boot.
