Details

Description:
I downloaded the latest Arch Linux ISO (version 2022.01.01 x86_64) and verified the file integrity using the MD5 checksum. Then I used it to run a Virtual Machine in Oracle VirtualBox.
In VirtualBox, when I enabled EFI mode, Arch Linux Live environment did not boot. Instead, the VM booted into the EFI shell.
But when I disabled the EFI mode in VirtualBox, the live environment booted in BIOS mode without an issue.

Then I changed the ISO file loaded into the VM to the previous Arch Linux ISO (version 2021.12.01 x86_64). It booted into the live environment in EFI mode without an issue.


Additional info:
* package version(s) - Arch Linux ISO (version 2022.01.01 x86_64)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Virtual Machine in Oracle VirtualBox
2. Go to VM settings -> System and select "Enable EFI"
3. Load the Arch Linux ISO version 2022.01.01 x86_64 to the VM and start it
4. At this point, the EFI shell will be shown instead of booting into the Arch Linux Live environment
This task depends upon
