Description Paolo Bonzini 2013-05-13 21:19:09 UTC

The iPXE ROMs in RHEL7.0 should not include a UEFI driver; we do not ship OVMF and cannot support them.

This basically means reverting upstream commit c45e5b5b30ac1f5505725a7b36e68cedfce4f01f.

Comment 3 Miroslav Rezanina 2013-08-09 11:43:59 UTC

Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.2-3.el7

Hi Miroslav
   For the bug verification ,does it will be blocked by Bug 895959 - [Tracker] provide RHEL-specific machine types in QEMU.


thanks

Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-02-21 10:48:47 UTC

Hi Fang,
No this bz should not be blocke by machine types. Removing the dependency.

Comment 7 juzhang 2014-02-21 10:52:29 UTC

Hi Paolo,

This issue has 2 bzs. One this against qemu-kvm component, the other is against ipxe component. Could you provide an efficient way for qe verify these 2 bzs both?

Best Regards,
Junyi

Comment 8 Paolo Bonzini 2014-02-21 11:45:25 UTC

For iPXE, check that there are no efi-* files provided.

For qemu-kvm, normal PXE boot sanity check is enough (beware that macvtap is broken, use normal bridge).
