[Qemu-discuss] ARM UEFI boot

[Nerijus Baliunas]

Hello,

Up until Fedora 28 I could boot my UEFI ARM VM (machine type virt-3.0) with 
these packages:
# rpm -qa|grep grub
grubby-8.40-90.kraxel.fc25.armv7hl
grub2-tools-2.02-0.rc1.kraxel.1.fc25.armv7hl
grub2-efi-2.02-0.rc1.kraxel.1.fc25.armv7hl

Fedora 29 upgraded them, and now I have:
grub2-common-2.02-62.fc29.noarch
grub2-tools-extra-2.02-62.fc29.armv7hl
grubby-8.40-90.kraxel.fc25.armv7hl
grub2-tools-minimal-2.02-62.fc29.armv7hl
grub2-efi-arm-2.02-62.fc29.armv7hl
grub2-tools-2.02-62.fc29.armv7hl

VM uses /usr/share/edk2.git/arm/QEMU_EFI-pflash.raw from 
edk2.git-arm-0-20180807.281.gc526dcd40f.noarch

Now VM boots to UEFI shell. If I restore /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTARM.EFI from
grub2-efi-2.02-0.rc1.kraxel.1.fc25.armv7hl.rpm, VM boots OK.

If I copy /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubarm.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTARM.EFI,
VM does not get to UEFI shell, starts to boot, but stops here:

Should I report it to Fedora?
