EFI boot #122

Closed azrdev closed 7 years ago

azrdev commented 7 years ago

I created a boot USB stick with the current archlinux ISO image, and it boots fine with qemu. However, I'd like to boot it natively from (U)EFI, which works fine with the raw image:

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -pflash OVMF.fd -cdrom archlinux-2017.03.01-dual.iso -m 1024

but using the boot-stick like

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -pflash OVMF.fd -hda /dev/sdc -m 1024

prints the error

Boot Failed. EFI Floppy
Boot Failed. EFI Floppy 1
Boot Failed. EFI DVD/CDROM
.

where OVMF.fd is the TianoCore firmware OVMF-X64-r15214.zip from https://sourceforge.net/projects/edk2/files/OVMF/

This is archlinux with 2.8.0-2

Uefi support has been added in the devel branch. Latest commit is yet to be released. Download the source code from devel branch and try.

Uninstall previous version and install latest one. It works.

This issue still persists with version 8.8.0. Tested with the same firmware image, archlinux-2017.05.01-x86_64.iso, I still get the error 

Boot Failed. EFI Floppy
Boot Failed. EFI Floppy 1
