To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  2. Clone this script.
  3. Run make all.
  4. VM is created and installation boots, but VM has blank screen, just stays hanging in blank state.

VM should install without errors.

Probably a duplicate of #93 and #94, but wanted to upload a fresh set of log and steps.

pbe found a workaround, replace the Catalina 10.15.2 boot.efi with one from an earlier version of macOS. Both 10.15.1 and 10.14.6 work.

Thanks, nice toolkit. Seems Oracle will fix it in the next update: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19188

Cool. I’ll re-test once the Virtualbox fix is released.

Vbox 6.1.4 has been released and 10.5.1 -> 10.5.3 update worked for me now.

jaanus commented 4 years ago

Yep, works now.
