 vtoy in eufi problem
#1
It has been a few months since I gave up trying to get vtoys to work in eufi mode.
Software has updated since then so I thought I would try again. I created 6 different Linux distros following the instructions on the ventoy site. I created new virtual machines using virtual box.
EFI enable True, fixed disk.
Once the OS rebooted I ran the vtoyboot script. I then shut it down. Then copied the vdi to ventoy renaming the suffix to vdi.vtoy
Not a single one worked in eufi mode. All I get is an unblinking cursor at the top left of my screen.
I have tried this on a pure ventoy drive as well as ventoy on easy2boot with the same outcome.
5 of the 6 work fine in Legacy mode (kubuntu, Ubuntu,MX,fedora,Bodhi).
PopOS does not work in either but I was warned when running the vtoyboot script on Pop that it would only work in eufi.
The only reason I chose 6 was to hopefully get a couple that would work. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Supported vDisk Format
Fixed size vhd (vhdx is not supported)
Fixed size vdi
Raw Disk Image


So are you using a FIXED SIZE VHD or VDI?

In order to make the vhd/vdi file bootable in both Legacy BIOS mode and UEFI mode.
You must set VirtualBox to UEFI mode before install OS !!!

You will need to be more precise on exactly what you are doing.
