Description Esa Varemo 2016-03-25 12:45:49 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have installed the edk2.git-ovmf firmware according to instructions on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_UEFI_with_QEMU

The firmware is picked up by virt-manager but virtual machines created using it are not usable. Firmware works with QEMU


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt-1.3.2-3.fc23.x86_64
qemu-kvm-2.5.0-10.fc23.x86_64
edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20160324.b1635.gf0bbcdf.noarch


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OVMF firmware repo & package
2. Create a new UEFI VM using virt-manager
3. Boot said VM

Actual results:

When booted the VMs show the tianocore splash/memory checked screen followed by a black screen with a cursor.


Expected results:

VM should show an EFI shell or boot the attached installation media.

Are you still seeing this? It's working fine for me with f23 default packages. Make sure the edk2 bits are fully up to date... since they track edk2 upstream sometimes they are temporarily broken

I think it was the same temporary issue reported here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1321390

and that user claims it's fixed now, so closing this one. Please reopen if you're still hitting issues
