Description Dave Hodgins 2015-04-07 21:13:48 CEST

Following an install using the live x86_64 kde4 dvd, followed the instructions
to power off the guest, remove the dvd from the virtual drive, and then try
to start the guest. The installed system drops to the uefi shell.

Barry Jackson added a wiki section, 
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/EFI:_can_no_longer_boot_into_Mageia#Boot_Drops_to_UEFI_Shell_.28in_VirtualBox.29
but I think that has to be automated in the installers, or vb fixed.

I'm actually using virtualbox-4.3.26-1.mga4 on the host, but as this affects
installing Mageia 5 guests, I'm setting the version to cauldron.

First off there is no gain of using efi in vbox (other than testing)

Secondly, there is bugs in vbox efi implementation, and that is an upstream issue, not a Mageia one.

So dropping release_blocker status

This could be a duplicate of bug 15640 (though I don't think we redid a DVD with the bogus stage2).
Can you attach your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz?
You can access your disk by booting the DVD in rescue mode.

Nothing happened in this report since over a year ago, is it still valid at all?

(In reply to Samuel Verschelde from comment #3)
> Upstream bug.

If it's still valid, then please add the link to the upstream bug report to the See Also; field :-)
