I've had it running for a while now, but don't dare do another update.

8 gigabytes of RAM
Lenovo ThinkPad t420i


VMware just crashes when I try to open the appliance. VirtualBox
dumped me at the UEFI shell, until I stopped the machine and unchecked
EFI in the Motherboard tab of the System settings. Now the appliance
runs and I can do actual documentation review.

I'd like to do an upgrade some day. I wonder what broke it before?
