QEMU + HVF Fails to start OVMF.fd (hang before displaying logo)

[LAHAYE Olivier]

Hi,

 

I’m facing a similar problem to this one, but I’m unable to find any solution via google.

https://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg04372.html

 

I’m trying to run an EFI BIOS using qemu.

• It works fine without acceleration
• It hangs (display not initialized) when using -accel hvf

 

I’ve tested many OVMF.fd files from internet including the official one of course whith no differences. (always work with no acceleration and always fail with HVF acceleration).

 

• OS: MacOS 10.14.6
• QEMU 5.0.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
• (qemu) qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.80000001H:ECX.svm [bit 2]
• info roms
• fw=genroms/kvmvapic.bin size=0x002400 name="kvmvapic.bin"
• addr=00000000fff00000 size=0x100000 mem=rom name="/Users/ol222822/data/OVMF.fd"
• /rom@etc/acpi/tables size=0x200000 name="etc/acpi/tables"
• /rom@etc/table-loader size=0x001000 name="etc/table-loader"
• /rom@etc/acpi/rsdp size=0x000014 name="etc/acpi/rsdp"

 

Is it a known issue?

Is there something I’m missing?

 

I’m running qemu in the following way:

qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -bios ~/data/OVMF.fd -monitor stdio

If I add -accel hvf, it’ll hang before tiano core logo.

 

Best regards,
