Getting an error on boot for a flash of an instance, but would still like to resolve it...
This is on a macOS Sierra 10.12.3 MacBook Pro [Host] running VirtualBox 5.0.32 r112930 with a Arch Linux [Guest]
Any ideas what is causing this error or how it can be resolved? Is this a known bug and/or does it need to be reported as a ticket?

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to place it, as I felt it was related to both and couldn't find a troubleshooting section.socratis wrote:I deleted your duplicate post from the "OSX Hosts" section. Cross-posting is not allowed per forum rules.

Re: [ERROR] UEFI Interactive Shell ERROR
The easy question to ask in similar cases is: where does the problem happen? In your guest. QED.
I also noted that you opened a bug report about this: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16499. My advice? First determine (after a discussion) that it's actually a bug, then go ahead and open a bug report. The forums are for triage, questions and configuration errors. If you don't need surgery, you don't go booking a surgeon, because when a person actually needs surgery, the surgeon is going to be busy to deal with it.
What do you mean by that? That the error is as temporary as it gets? Does you guest boot after that? Why do you need EFI to begin with?CyberManifest wrote:Getting an error on boot for a flash of an instance

Re: [ERROR] UEFI Interactive Shell ERROR
Important information is missing from here and the bug report.
Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.
