Do we know what version of Virtualbox? That could be a major factor here. I've just a test installation using the UEFI support in the virtualbox package in Jessie (4.3.36), which is labelled as "experimental support". It shows the same behaviour as described, but that's a limitation of the virtualbox UEFI support rather than a problem in Debian - the underlying virtualbox isn't saving EFI variables persistently. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com The two hard things in computing: * naming things * cache invalidation * off-by-one errors -- Stig Sandbeck Mathisen
