Linux or windows guest boot failed by uefi on CPU of Intel Xeon X5675

[chan]

Hi,

I started windows server 2012 DC or redhat7.0, but boot failed by UEFI, and start process stop on
"TianoCore" image by looking at VNCviewer.

VM using the command:(redhat7.0)

qemu version: 2.7.1
edk2 version: git://git.code.sf.net/p/tianocore/edk2.git, commit: cc0b456a05f8dd1ebfb9be485465be37e96999e7
server: ProLiant BL460c G7, CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5675 @ 3.07GHz

Another, last version of edk2(compiled by myself) start guest is failed, too. But r15214 of edk2 start guest is ok(Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/edk2/files/OVMF/, OVMF-X64-r15214.zip)

Thanks in Advance

Your command line is broken;

  -bios /usr/share/qemu-kvm/OVMF_CODE.fd

has never been a correct option to boot OVMF.

Your cmdline seems to have been generated by libvirt; make sure your domain XML says

<domain type='kvm'>
  <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hv...

Ersek, thank you very much!

I set up correctly in "/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf", so command
-bios /usr/share/qemu-kvm/OVMF_CODE.fd
also boot UEFI guest.

Current, my question only in the platform in server of ProLiant BL460c G7,
the same ovmf firmware.

How can capture the OVMF debug log?
I use your advise, open ovmf debug in guest xml:
<qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-global'/>
    <qemu:arg value='isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-debugcon'/>
    <qemu:arg value='file:/tmp/GUEST_NAME.log'/>
  </qemu:commandline>
but nothing output in /tmp/GUEST_NAME.log.
Another, I used debug version ovmf.

I success to capture the OVMF debug log.

"-bios /usr/share/qemu-kvm/OVMF_CODE.fd" is *never* a correct option to boot OVMF.
