Package: ovmf-generic Version: 2026.02-3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Current versions of OVMF support a QEMU_PV_VARS mechanism. This allows qemu to pass in UEFI vars without using the OVMF_VARS.fd mechanism; it also allows avoiding SMM in the emulated firmware. This support is disabled by default. Please consider enabling it in OVMF.
