 Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2021 11:05 am Post subject: [SEMI-SOLVED] QEMU UEFI firmware |
 |
|
Hey, I reemerged qemu for the second time and I'm not able to boot qemu in UEFI mode, I keep getting this message:
| Code: |
* Messages for package sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf-202008:
* This package contains the tianocore edk2 UEFI firmware for 64-bit x86
* virtual machines. The firmware is located under
* /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd
* /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd
* /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd
*
* If USE=binary is enabled, we also install an OVMF variables file (coming from
* fedora) that contains secureboot default keys
*
* /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd
*
* If you have compiled this package by hand, you need to either populate all
* necessary EFI variables by hand by booting
* /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/UefiShell.(iso|img)
* or creating OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd by hand:
* https://github.com/puiterwijk/qemu-ovmf-secureboot
*
* The firmware does not support csm (due to no free csm implementation
* available). If you need a firmware with csm support you have to download
* one for yourself. Firmware blobs are commonly labeled
* OVMF{,_CODE,_VARS}-with-csm.fd
*
* In order to use the firmware you can run qemu the following way
*
* $ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on
*
* You can register the firmware for use in libvirt by adding to /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf:
* nvram = [
* "/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd:/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd"
* "/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd:/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd"
* ]
*
* (Note: Above message is only printed the first time package is
* installed. Please look at /usr/share/doc/edk2-ovmf-202008/README.gentoo*
* for future reference)
|
I tried the `ovmf-vars-generator` script, but I am confused on what to do with it, how should I do it?
My USE for qemu:
| Code: |
app-emulation/qemu python_targets_python3_9 -accessibility aio -capstone curl fdt -fuse -glusterfs gnutls iscsi io-uring jemalloc jpeg -multipath -ncurses -nfs -numa pin-upstream-blobs plugins png -rbd -sdl -sdl-image slirp spice -ssh systemtap -usb -usbdir vde vhost-net -vhost-user-fs -virgl virtfs vte -xattrs -xen xfs gtk usbredir
|
***
Semi-solution:
| Code: |
qemu-system-x86_qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom SOME_ISO.iso -m 2048 -smbios type=0,uefi=on -smp 2 -enable-kvm -bios /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd
|
If you have any better ones - please suggest

Plz emerge
sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf
then create a file
/etc/qemu/firmware/10-ovmf.json
containing
| Code: |
{
"description": "UEFI firmware for x86_64",
"interface-types": [
"uefi"
],
"mapping": {
"device": "flash",
"executable": {
"filename": "/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd",
"format": "raw"
},
"nvram-template": {
"filename": "/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd",
"format": "raw"
}
},
"targets": [
{
"architecture": "x86_64",
"machines": [
"pc-i440fx-*",
"pc-q35-*"
]
}
],
"features": [
"acpi-s3",
"amd-sev",
"verbose-dynamic"
],
"tags": [
]
}
|
restart libvirt and virt-manager
OR
in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
| Code: |
nvram = [
"/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd:/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd"
]
|
whichever works.

I'm sorry, I use pure qemu - I.e no virt-manager

you miss a comma

Sorry, I accidentally erased it, I didn't miss it, it has a comma in the file

|
how do you spin an uefi vm via qemu?
which invocation do you use?
with or without libvirt?

| Code: |
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom SOME_ISO_THAT_EXISTS.iso -m 2048 -smbios type=0,uefi=on -smp 2 -enable-kvm
|
ALSO UPDATE:
when I do:
| Code: |
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom SOME_ISO_THAT_EXISTS.iso -m 2048 -smbios type=0,uefi=on -smp 2 -enable-kvm -bios /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd
|
It boots me into UEFI mode.
also no libvirt, at least I don't think so

it does work as I metioned, but `-smbbios type=0,uefi=on` should boot into uefi directly, but thanks, i will mark it as solved
