When booting with UEFI, I still got stuck and there was no output = whatsoever. I used the =E2=80=9Cvm=E2=80=9D script with the = uefi=3D=E2=80=9Cyes=E2=80=9D option. Nothing works with UEFI console for me so I think I=E2=80=99m going to = stick with BIOS-MBR-GRUB for now, unless you have an idea I can try=E2=80=A6= Thanks for everything.
