Hello Steve, thanks a lot for the tip! However, I'm a complete novice when it comes to running custom firmware in QEMU. I just tried the following:
1.: Download the latest EDK2 release from Github: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/archive/refs/tags/edk2-stable202302.tar.gz 2.: Extract the OVMF firmware file: tar xz edk2-edk2-stable202302/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.fdf <Downloads/edk2-edk2-stable202302.tar.gz 3.: Try to run it with QEMU: sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -accel kvm -bios edk2-edk2-stable202302/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.fdf -smp 2 -m 2G /dev/sda This will just give me a QEMU error message ("could not load PC BIOS"). Is it possible to boot an EFI system with QEMU without downloading a custom firmware file, i.e. is there a Debian package providing this functionality? Kind regards, Valentin Caracalla
