Is this a regression? Can you attach your guest configuration? Regression: not sure, I didn’t check older versions. Guest configurations: I tried several configurations and was not able to get anything working. Do you have a working version? this works for me: type = 'hvm' name = 'fedora-uefi-base' firmware = 'ovmf' vcpus = 2 memory = 4096 hdtype = 'ahci' disk = [ 'disk/fedora-uefi.qcow2,qcow2,xvda,w', 'iso/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-40-1.14.iso,raw,hdc:cdrom,r' ] vif = [ 'mac=78:00:75:65:66:69,bridge=br0' ] vga = 'stdvga' vnc = 1 vnclisten = '0.0.0.0' Hmm, while debugging another issue I've noticed that this works: firmware = 'ovmf' but this does not: firmware = '/usr/share/edk2/xen/OVMF.fd' My naive expectation is that the former is just a shortcut for the latter, but apparently that is not the case ... Michael? While being at it: Does the libvirt xen driver support using ovmf? https://libvirt.org/drvxen.html has no hints to offer, and the libvirt import (virsh domxml-from-native xen-xl $config.xl) ignores the 'firmware' line. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '40'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 40 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-05-13. Fedora Linux 40 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
