If the QEMU binary doesn't support EFI, then a guest expecting EFI won't be able to start regardless of where the EFI ROM came from. > Also, if we're going to start including the EFI rom then that would have > to be migrated with the VM so that after a restart on a different host > it's still using the right ROM that's compatible with it's varfile. That's a problem that needs to be addressed anyway, because even as it is now you could easily find yourself trying and failing to migrate a guest between two hosts that have different and incompatible EFI ROMs installed. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
