#virtual machine NOT booting (arch installed manually following guide)

you can just get a free premade vhd from osboxes
have you installed the additional stuff via the virtual cd they give out for virtualbox?
I got the .iso from [official arch repositories ] (https://archlinux.org/download/)
also I know I could omit the installation of the firmware package when installing in a virtual machine or container, but I installed anyways
i installed all, read all, every details, around 8 hours in totall
Did you disable secure boot
Also did you disable RAID in BIOS
There could be problem with graphics, AMD or Nvidia
yes is disabled
I enabled EFI, because my computer use UEFI, so i wanted to practice with that ON
You don't need EFI mode i don't think
But idk my pc has UEFI BIOS
But I can disable the EFI security stuff to let Linux work
i alredy disabled it on the virtual machine, so should work right?
Should
now i disabled the EFI and starts, but the partitions are not mounted (and i already mounted well and checked with "lsblk -f" ) , so seems is not detecting my instalation because that
I'll be troubleshooting this all night to figure it out and keep you updated
Usually it requires a reinstall of the boot stuff cause having it on EFI mode messes things up
