Greetings, I have the following machine: https://dpaste.com/5BPA3F77F which I'm trying to boot in uefi. /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf looks like this: https://dpaste.com/B3SFHUY6R and the ovmf files exists in the path, see: # ll /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1966080 Aug 21 14:32 /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1966080 Aug 21 14:32 /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 Aug 21 14:32 /us...

This is only lightly tested. In particularly I only tested that the non-secure-boot path still works. I didn't test it on RHEL 7.3 yet because I haven't got enough free disk space for these giant source *.ova files :-( Will try to give that a go later. Rich.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1338083 Now that UEFI is fully open source the UEFI firmware can be included in Fedora. The location will be slightly different. These patches do a bit of code rearrangement and add the new paths. Rich.

First version was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2016-August/thread.html#00100 This is semantically the same as the first version. However I've split the patch up into two parts. In the first part, I factor out the UEFI paths so now they are created by the generator and written in the library and v2v/ directory directly, instead of the complex business of having a C

...1.11.0-40.27.gd9a8b86 @qemu-firmware-jenkins I have installed the Virtualization Host group. Configured the nvram in the /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, I even used the same copy from a previous installation. nvram = [ "/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd:/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd", "/usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd:/usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_VARS-pure-efi.fd" ] Thank you Aaron

Hi! I have bootable (USB flash) disk, that _appears_ to be using syslinux. (the word syslinux is in the PBR, in the hexdump). How can I chainload it? The payload seems to be a file that I tried load with COMBOOT, COM32 etc, but nothing works (they report that the file is not in proper format, wrong magic number or simply crash). How to proceed? is there a 100% way to confirm that it is really
