Hi,

I've been trying to get ovmf to work with xen (4.3.0).
VM seems to be running but the vnc console comes up as blank.

Tried building hvmloader using upstream ovmf with no luck.
Also tried a CSM build of seabios.

Virtual machine config:

name="ovmf-test"
#firmware_override="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader.csm"
#firmware_override="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader.ovmf-upstream"
builder="hvm"
vnc="1"
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
memory="512"
bios="ovmf"
device_model_version="qemu-xen"
apic=1
acpi=1
localtime=1
usb=1

Am I missing something obvious? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nasir




If anyone is interested, this edk2/ovmf tree seems to work fine:

http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/edk2.git/

Will poke around and try to figure out why the upstream version does not work (ubuntu 12.10, Linux 3.9.0-030900-generic, gcc version 4.6.3)

Thanks,
Nasir
