I installed the kinetic beta this morning in VirtualBox VM (6.1.38-dfsg-3). On the first boot after install, it got as far as the Ubuntu logo and then the screen went black and I couldn't do anything. I tried to reboot it a few times to no avail. Eventually, I rebooted it into recovery mode and used the 'repair broken packages' option and that changed around some packages. The system resumed from recovery mode and brought me to the normal desktop. I used it stably for a while and I rebooted it twice in the normal course of what I was doing with it. It booted to the desktop fine both times.
However, when I rebooted it a third time, it booted to the black screen again. I rebooted it into recovery mode and ran the 'repair' again. It didn't change any packages, but resuming from recovery booted me into a usable system. I filed this bug from the terminal directly after that reboot.
Expected Result: Consistent boot to desktop
Actual Result: Inconsistent boot to a black screen; seemingly fixed by entering and exiting recovery mode

The default VirtualBox settings only give 16MB of graphics memory so the screen will start to fail/turn black around 2K resolution.
Please try turning off the virtual machine and changing Video Memory to 64MB.
