Similarly with https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1814335, could you share tis-centos-guest.img ? and does this img contain EFI boot feature ?

Thanks.

Sorry following should be changed to:

Brief Description
-----------------
Failed to launch vm directly from virsh.

tis-centos-guest.img is based off an centos image. It boots from bios, and is in raw format.
It is very 1.5G,which seems to be too big to attach here. But i believe you can use any raw image that boots from bios to replace it.
