The following combination:

- OVMF without the SeaBIOS CSM ("pure EFI" in Gerd's RPMs)
- Cirrus video card
- Windows 7 installer in the guest

has never been supported. The VBE Shim in OVMF works on stdvga and QXL only. This is documented; please refer to OvmfPkg/README, section "UEFI Windows 7 & Windows 2008 Server".

According to your results, stuff works on latest QEMU, in all configurations that are expected to be functional. Gerd CC'd <email address hidden> on his patch referenced above, so I guess it will be part of 2.6.1, whenever it is released. I'm closing this with fix committed. Thanks.
