Hi, Laszlo
Thank you for replay.
I have boot archlinux install iso successful with OVMF but ubuntu iso drop
into grub shell.
there are 2 problems during archlinux iso boot:
1) take a long time
2) could not display in spice (-vga qxl -spice
port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing), spicec is blank.
