Which guest are you trying to boot (exact version please)?

[Socratis]

And if I may add to frank's comment, why do you have the following settings set?

00:00:04.864681   VBoxInternal2/EfiBootArgs="host=OlympusMacHost-36-VM2"
...
00:00:04.877078 [/CPUM/HostCPUID/1/] (level 3)
00:00:04.877080   eax <integer> = 0x00000000000206a7 (132 775)
00:00:04.877081   ebx <integer> = 0x0000000002100800 (34 605 056)
00:00:04.877083   ecx <integer> = 0x000000001fbae3bf (532 341 695)
00:00:04.877084   edx <integer> = 0x00000000bfebfbff (3 219 913 727)

Also, your vRAM is too low I believe at 32MB. I'd take it to 64MB at least.

And finally, in your template you've selected the generic "Mac OSX (64-bit)". Unless you're running 10.5, there are more specific templates to pick from. Even if you're running 10.12, it would be way better if you chose the "Mac OSX 10.11" template.

1. I have this arg to guest to setup guest hostname, computername and localhostname.
2. I create the vm based on a base image

Replying to Wei-:

2. I create the vm based on a base image

Not sure what that means. Please explain if full detail...

Also, you never replied why you had to issue the cpuid command.

1. basically, we have a tool to auto create the VMs based on an image. and our service on vms require each vm to have different name instead the name from base image. that's why we have the name passed to vm and then the built-in script will use it to set names.

2. I am not sure why the CPUID setting is there and don't know what it is

sorry, I am not sure why the CPUID setting is there

OK, you need to be really specific about the details. FULL DETAILS please. What is this tool, where did you get it, what does it do, how does it do it. I'm not aware of a "tool" that creates VirtualBox images from the OSX installation disk, so please be as detailed as possible.

Plus, as far as I know, you do not need to pass the computer name in the EFI boot environment. That's the first time I've heard of something like that. Do you happen to have a reference?

2. I am not sure why the CPUID setting is there and don't know what it is

Well, maybe it's your tool that creates it. That's why I need all the details. Something is not right with your setup.

And if you want to install OSX 11, you better change the VirtualBox template from the generic one to the more specific OSX-11 one...

No response to the last comment, closing as obsolete. VirtualBox 6.1 has improved macOS guest support.
