1. I think that this is a duplicate of #18282 (EFI shell not shown when VMSVGA or VBoxSVGA is chosen. No installation is possible.).

2. It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the ​VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of.

3. You were supposed to follow these steps when you filed the bug, and provide a VBox.log:

   Attach a (full) log file ("Machine" menu/"Show Log" in the main VirtualBox Manager window) straight away to save time for you and for us. The log file contains a lot of useful information about both the host and the guest systems as well as information about what happened during a particular machine run. Please do not cut and paste it.

I have a problem about the vb6 of the uefi. Why the vb6 can't show the bootloader screen and include liveCD's bootloader screen (like grub2 and so on),It can't display the boot menu.But when the time comes it direct access system.
do you know why?

@hon,

Please read my post, just about yours:

1. You need to make sure you're not talking about a duplicate,
2. You need to ask in the forums, that's where the discussions take place, not here,
3. You need to make sure that you include more information, like the VBox.log.

No response to the VBox.log request, closing as invalid.
