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

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

Apologies if this has been gone over, but I believe I have checked the intertubes more than a bit..... I am using libvirt and have vms booting under an OVMF.fd to use an efi firmware. I can create vms, linux ubuntu, and they will boot up. However, everytime I reboot am I dropped into the default efi shell provide by the tianocore build. Then I must walk the FS to the booting efi app and run, in

Greetings, I encounter a problem that should be basic, but I can't get a clue. I have 8G USB disk formatted as FAT32. I run (syslinux -i -s -r -m H:) to make it bootable, and write syslinux.cfg according to the documents, but it will not boot some items. Syslinux is 6.03, bios files used. The whole syslinux.cfg file:

Thanks VERY MUCH for all the info and help! Apologies for the extreme delay. I got distracted by other threads that forced out this work to later date. Also some frustration as well. ;) I completely missed this update. Apologies and thanks Will be diving back into this shortly!

Hi! I'm working currently on integration of UEFI/SecureBoot support into oVirt. And I have several questions about UEFI/SecureBoot support in libvirt. Can you please help me with them? For UEFI I add the following to the XML: <loader readonly="yes" secure="no" type="pflash"> /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd </loader> <nvram

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

Hello, I recently had to reinstall my operating system on my computer. I made a backup of the entire partition beforehand onto an external drive. Now I am trying to import a VM from that backup onto the newly installed system. What I've done so far: - copied over the qcow2 disk image - copied over the XML config file - copied over the OVMF files under /usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/

Hi, This is off topic for this list, but someone on this list may be able to point me in the right direction. For a couple of years I have been using ISOLINUX + MEMDISK and Smart Boot Manager to chainload a CD-ROM boot after loading a floppy image into RAM with MEMDISK. My problem now is that Smart Boot Manager does not support/detect SATA optical drives used in new hardware. Does anyonw

Lu Wei, For the DOS portion make sure you have a working FAT-32 DOS Bootable Drive first. Back up it's boot sector into a file. This file will probably be 512 Bytes and if you were to open it with a Hex editor it would start with ".X.MSWIN4.1" and end with "SYS~..WINBOOT SYS..U" This would of course be looking at the ASCII view. Assuming you put the file in the DOS

I have a number of syslinux based USB sticks which can be booted from PCs that support USB boot. I also have a number of PCs that do not support USB Boot. They are running Windows 2000 and Windows XP typically from ntfs formatted single partition drives. Is there a way to chainload syslinux residing on a plugged in usb stick from boot.ini? I've seen instructions for how to do this for OSs on

Hi, I am having troubles with chainloading and hopefully someone can provide me with some guidance. Here's what I am trying to do: * the media is a USB key * I have created a GPT on it * I have created an EFI partition, where I have installed the EFI flavor of syslinux, the various .c32 files required for chainloading and the configuration file which tells syslinux what to chainload

Lu Wei, What Hard drive are you also trying to boot? The first and only fixed drive inside a computer? If so would the line to boot a local HD not be: LABEL LOCAL MENU LABEL Local operating system in harddrive (if available) kernel chain.c32 append hd0 -Adan On Thu, Apr 4, 2019 at 8:56 AM Adan Calderon <adancalderon at gmail.com> wrote: > > Lu Wei, > > For the DOS portion

Hi syslinux list, Some months ago, hpa was kind enough to help me troubleshoot booting Extlinux in a system with the following particulars: * Windows Vista x64 bootloader in the MBR and Vista installed in /dev/sda1 * Extlinux 3.72 installed in the first sector of /dev/sda2 and Foresight Linux installed in /dev/sda2 (at the time I tried, 3.72 was the default bootloader in Foresight) The problem
