Hi All,
A problem I've just "dealt with" over the past months is that the two UEFI VMs
I have installed (One Windows 10, one RHEL8) will only start on the oVirt Node
(4.4.x, still an issue on 4.4.8) hosts that have been installed using UEFI.
In the case of both guests, they will "start" but get stuck on a small
640x480-ish black screen, with no CPU or disk activity. It looks as if the VM
has been started with "Start paused" enabled, but the VM is not paused. I've
noticed that this matches the normal startup of the guest, although it only
spends a second or two like that before TianoCore takes over.
Occasionally, I'm able to migrate the VM to a BIOS host. When it fails, the
following is seen on the /sending/ host:
