Package: autopkgtest
Version: 5.15
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
The following part of autopkgtest-virt-qemu gives impression that
autopkgtest ... -- qemu --efi supports QEMU testbed with UEFI.
Indeed, QEMU with UEFI testbed works fine for amd64, as
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973038#30
if args.efi:
code = None
data = None
if 'qemu-system-x86_64' in args.qemu_command or \
'qemu-system-i386' in args.qemu_command:
code = '/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd'
data = '/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd'
elif 'qemu-system-aarch64' in args.qemu_command:
code = '/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd'
data = '/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd'
elif 'qemu-system-arm' in args.qemu_command:
code = '/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_CODE.fd'
data = '/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_VARS.fd'
else:
VirtSubproc.bomb('Unknown architecture for EFI boot')
With the attached patch to vmdb2 and autopkgtest-build-qemu,
QEMU i386 UEFI testbed can be built without error.
But autopkgtest ... -- qemu --efi -q qemu-system-i386 does
not work, as the Linux in VM does not boot, at least on
my amd64 laptop.
This means that complete switching of autopkgtest-virt-qemu to
UEFI is impossible as of now, while arm64 QEMU autopkgtestbed
seems to require UEFI booting...
Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
