@alex3kov -- I think you mean the question as """ Since this behaviour will not change in future versions of Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2, ... """
because, again, the problem is not in OVMF but in the Windows guest. QEMU cannot be expected to recognize (guest OS, guest firmware, hw config) combinations that might not work. That's not QEMU's business. Such (automatic or semi-automatic) config tweaks belong to the management layer. If you use virt-manager or virt-install to create your guest, and select the guest OS type correctly (or let virt-manager / virt-install recognize the guest type from a signature of the installer ISO, which I believe is implemented with the help of libosinfo), then virt-manager / virt-install will automatically disable Hyper-V enlightments for you. This is what https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185253 was about, which I referenced here earlier. The virt-manager change is <https://github.com/virt-manager/virt- manager/commit/cbba1c4dd3815e3981d3b315bf28d1018f838702>. So, the answer to your question is to use libvirt and its tools (which is recommended anyway). Thanks. (In general, I have no idea why large groups of users keep struggling with QEMU command lines, when the interface that libvirt provides is just so much better and easier for production use. The reason I always recommend libvirt is not because I'm an RH zealot, the reason I recommend it is that libvirt adds *actual value*, even for the individual, interactive user.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593605 Title: windows2008r2 boot failed with uefi Status in QEMU: Invalid Bug description: I want to run my win2008r2 with uefi.
