Installation will continue, or you will boot into the OS or get the Recovery Utilities menu (where macOS can be reinstalled from or Disk Utilities run). If the recovery partition isn’t present and valid, these instructions won’t work.Ĭlick the 2nd entry, you should see (and then click): If the 2nd partition isn’t the recovery partition, look under the paths in the list to see if one of them is it. The second PCI path is probably to the recovery partition, the one you need to boot from. The first PCI path in the list is probably the boot partition that doesn’t contain bootable firmware. You should see two entries in a list (they are cryptic looking PCI bus paths). Select Boot Maintenance Manager and click. You’ll be brought into an EFI text-mode GUI. Hope this helps another struggling Mac user.I was able to fix the UEFI problems as follows ( credit to techrechard website): For some reason it was not installing the Kernel Driver with the package, despite it being selected to install. Just click on the one that has 'kernel' in the name so it is highlighted, and then the install button on the bottom right. You will see multiple things checked off that is included in the standard install. It was a 'kernel' error, so when installing VirtualBox I clicked 'customize' instead of the regular install. I did every step I could find on these threads, updated computer (MAC High Sierra 10.13.6), temporarily disabled security preferences through terminal, deleted installer and application and tried other previous downloads for VirtualBox. I could open the application and make new systems, but when trying to open and install those systems I would get a Kernel Driver Not Installed rc =- 1908 error. I decided to open the application anyways to see if I could figure more things out. Restart the machine and try reinstall again, also failed.ĬOMMENTING INCASE ANYONE SEES THIS THREAD AND NEEDS HELP IN THE PRESENT.I tried to reinstall VirtualBox but the installation failed.What I tried after the Linux VM failed to start: It is what I picked up from the system.log Sep 26 10:15:44 konga-mbp-loaner (): Service exited with abnormal code: 1 I have enabled disk level encryption when I set up the Linux VM.
