Laszlo,
I just applied your patch to the master branch of the edk2 github repo. It appears to suffer form the same issue. Unfortunately you need to jump through a bunch of hoops to get debugging for the windows bootloader. Also it requires you have windows installed already (which makes it sorta pointless doesn't it?) What I did was install to an LVM slice usign vmware workstation, and then I used the bcdedit commands located at the following urls to turn debugging on and set it to output to the serial console. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542202(v=vs.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542187(v=vs.85).aspx Please let me know if there is anyway i can be of assistance in debugging/fixing issues with ovmf booting windows 2008 as I am more then happy to help.
