Well, to exact there are two variants, one with PEI being IA32 (OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc) and the other with PEI being X64 (OvmfPkgX64.dsc). The latter does page table setup and switch to long mode in ResetVector code. But, yes, on both cases the firmware volume with PEI+DXE ends up being loaded below 4 GiB. take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
