Cannot boot linux guest on windows host using EFI and NVME

[wharvey]

VirtualBox version 5.1.12e112440 Host OS Windows 10 Pro Guest OS Ubuntu 16.10

Using EFI option and NVME as the controller option, the system installed and booted without any issues.

After shutting down the system and attempting to reboot the following error message appears: Boot Failed. EFI DVD/CDROM Boot Failed. EFI Misc Device .

Then after about a minute it drops to the EFI shell.

After some research, I found this: In the EFI shell: cd FS0: edit startup.nsh, add the following 2 lines FS0: \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi Ctrl S Enter Enter to save file, Ctrl q to quit

Then i set the boot order sudo efibootmgr -o 3,1 (boot to shell then device 1)

Now after the minute timeout, it drops to the shell and boots Ubuntu.

How can we make it boot normally?

Please try with a recent VirtualBox release which has much better EFI support. Closing as obsolete for now as there was no activity for over 3 years.
