I just tried a build at d1fc3d7ef3cb... with the same result. Works with VM's internal kernel & initrd but not with external (using -kernel, -initrd & -append options). As soon as I revert to OVMF files (CODE & VARS) from vUDK2018, all works as expected with external kernel & initrd. Since this problem seems to go back to around 2018, is it better to report in bugzilla? Thanks, chris -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
