Updates to wily would need to meet the stable release update policy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates Including a new upstream snapshot would not qualify. If you were able to identify a fix that meets this guidelines - e.g. a single/obviously correct changeset, then we maybe able to

Sorry about the versions: qemu-efi 0~20150106.5c2d456b-2 qemu-system-arm 1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu9.1 Yes, I'm running the wily kernel on the host: 4.2.0-25-generic #30-Ubuntu I thought I tried older versions (since deleted) ran into the same behavior as with the packaged qemu-efi version, so it does

I don't know what problem you're trying to describe here, because the *only* thing the qemu-efi package does is support UEFI boot on AArch64. I'm afraid we would need more detail to understand what's going on. It's possible that those who are running qemu-efi on arm64 systems already can provide

I just installed wily on a HP m400 (X-Gene) system, installed qemu-kvm and qemu-efi, and the following got me to an EFI shell: $ sudo qemu-system-aarch64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -cpu host -M virt -nographic -bios /usr/share/qemu-efi/QEMU_EFI.fd Please review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM64/QEMU to see

That's odd, i have a GICv2 system and the following hangs before getting to the shell: $ qemu-system-aarch64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -cpu host -M virt -nographic -bios /usr/share/qemu-efi/QEMU_EFI.fd However, this works fine. I tried $ wget -O

I tested with qemu-efi 0~20150106.5c2d456b-2 and qemu-kvm 2.3+dfsg- 5ubuntu9.1 - which I'm guessing is the same version as you, but your versions look to be truncated. Can you confirm you are also running the wily kernel on the host? As mentioned on the wiki, the host kernel version can have an
