booting an ubuntu 14.04 iso works fine however booting to fresh install of SO iso shows boot screen fine but then goes black

I have not had this issue, but have you tried looking here to see if any of the suggestions resolve your issue?

when i go into edit my grub file upon boot this is my linux boot option
"linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-51-generic root=UUID='some long numbers' ro quite splash $vt_handoff"
when i remove teh $vt_handoff i can then see the Securityonion loading page right after as if its going to work (instead of directly going to a black screen)... then it hangs with the progress bar at about 20%
iv also tried adding the nomodeset but exhibits the same behavior. any ideas? thanks.

This sounds similar to the following thread:

Just to confirm, you were able to successfully install from the ISO
image, right?
And the VM appears to hang after rebooting into your new installation?
Are you able to SSH to the VM?
