Right, we still in progress (e.g. VBox 3.1 is failing to load FC12 with ACPI, and it
can't load
Windows Vista and 7/EFI) but with VBox 3.1 with manually edited config runs
FC11(i386/x86_64)
fine.

I guess real EFI systems has proprietary drivers + corresponding drivers, e.g. nvidia,
and there're no serious reasons to use vga bios.
AIUI anyway. See Vasily's message
of a couple of days ago. But I could be wrong, and also I'm not sure why
he's testing with F11 rather than F12 or Rawhide.
About rawhide, could you please give me some pointers on ISO images,
instructions for kernel compilations (looks like it bit different from compilation of
vanilla kernels)?
