[Bug 1445587] Re: Installer hangs after clicking "Restart Now"

[Walter Lapchynski]

It seems this is a bug only in VirtualBox still. The fix worked for
hardware and kvm. Unsure about VMWare but no one's been complaining, so
I guess that's a good thing. So if you could file a new bug specifically
referencing VirtualBox and how this bug does not fix it, that would be
fantastic. Even better, report it on the ISO tracker so others will see
it.
