EFI Shell when booting linux iso

Post by PetitPrince »

Hi, I am trying to boot a amd64 image of gentoo with EFI enabled. The problem is that I keep getting prompted by the EFI shell. I noticed that when I boot, I get this strange error message:

FsW ERROR: InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces returned 2

I don't what I am doing wrong because it works without the flag.

Any help appreciated.

Does Gentoo support EFI? And even if it does why are you using it?

Having no experience with the EFI of VirtualBox, I can only tell you that it is designed to work with OSX guests, not for others.
