| kata-irc-bot | <christophe> I asked around in the qemu community, it looks like it's not possible to start an OVMF firmware correctly with the `-bios` option. So Sandeep may not be able to do what he wants. I'll open an issue, unless there is one already. | 09:05 |
|---|---|---|
| kata-irc-bot | <fidencio> @christophe, please, do. If you take a look at the 1.x output pasted by Sandeep, there the right thing is done. I wonder whether he has changes on govmm itself that would lead to that behaviour. | 09:28 |

| kata-irc-bot | <christophe> I'm sorry, I don't see it. There is a `-bios /path/to/OVMF.fd` option, which I thought might be a problem. However, doing more digging and testing, it looks like you _can_ boot an OVMF that way. What is missing is hte file that stores the EFI variables, but that's only useful to preserve settings across reboots. I remember (from earlier versions of EFI) that it was not possible to boot without a partition variables, but it looks like | 10:17 |
| kata-irc-bot | it works now. So either `qemu` is smart enough to create some temporary partition, either OVMF is smart enough to not need one. | 10:17 |
| kata-irc-bot | <fidencio> This is his output from 1.x: `-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file=/usr/local/share/qemu/OVMF_CODE.fd.kata,readonly` This is his output from 2.x: `-bios /usr/local/share/qemu/OVMF_CODE.fd.kata` | 10:35 |

| kata-irc-bot | <fidencio> govmm code has, since 2017: ```func (config *Config) appendBios() { if config.Bios != "" { config.qemuParams = append(config.qemuParams, "-bios") config.qemuParams = append(config.qemuParams, config.Bios) } }``` | 10:41 |
| kata-irc-bot | <fidencio> The fact he doesn't get `-bios ...` when using 1.x makes me believe he patches govmm according to his needs, but this patch was not carried over 2.x. | 10:42 |

| kata-irc-bot | <christophe> I somehow missed the `-drive` option. I searched for `OVMF` in the email, though, so it's not clear to me why I missed it. I sent an apology email. Need to update https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/1231 | 14:22 |
