[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#690407: virtualbox-ose: Virtualbox fails to start when I select EFI in the VM options

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: virtualbox
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to make a Virtualbox VM and wanted it to load in EFI mode rather than
the traditional BIOS mode. When I started the VM, it shut down the VM
immediately and I got this in the log file:

Unexpected trap during early EFI bootstrap!!

Could you fix the problem?
