Unable to UEFI boot linux to gdm/gui login window

Post by murphyc »

VirtualBox 4.2.12, UEFI mode, on OS X 10.8.3 running Fedora 19 beta. I get a UEFI mode boot but then get X errors and gdm never appears. Works on EFI baremetal hardware.

Using the extra boot options from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742695#c13 , it works for me with a F18 x86_64 host. Attaching VBox.log.
