Are UEFI clients still not possible on 8.1 ? I was looking for a setup in the GUI and dont see it. Searching "suggests" that --boot-uefi may be a command line option - but again I see nothing on the GUI. Thanks Jerry

You need to install the edk2-ovmf package for a UEFI firmware before you can create VMs with it. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

Yes I am talking about installing a CentOS 8 guest on a centos 8 machine with UEFI. The dvd.iso is on the host, which I point to. Nothing in the define new wizard mentions UEFI. Thanks, Jerry

I'm not sure how to do it with cockpit, since I've never used that. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
