Public bug reported: This is an upstream issue reported at https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3064
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.ms.fd does not boot by qemu-system-x86_64. To reproduce the symptom, on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64, do the following: cp /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.ms.fd . qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -machine q35,smm=on,accel=kvm -global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on -m 1024 -drive if=pflash,unit=0,format=raw,read-only=on,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.ms.fd -drive if=pflash,unit=1,format=raw,file=OVMF_VARS.ms.fd On the other hand, if OVMF_CODE.ms.fd in the above command is replaced by OVMF_CODE.fd, the qemu starts fine. Fedora 33 somehow built a working version of OVMF_CODE.ms.fd as OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd. Borrowing those files from Fedora 33 suppress this symptom... I hope working OVMF_CODE.ms.fd will be delivered in a future updates to Ubuntu Focal LTS. ** Affects: edk2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: edk2 (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Tags: focal ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #973783 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973783 ** Also affects: edk2 (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973783 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903681 Title: 20.04 LTS's OVMF_CODE.ms.fd does not boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/edk2/+bug/1903681/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
