Description darkbasic 2022-10-21 17:42:46 UTC
I'v trying to spin a raspi2b vm with virt-manager on a ppc64le Talos 2 host.
Unfortunately as soon as I click on finish I get the following error:

Error starting installation: Did not find any UEFI binary path for arch 'armv7l'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 1878, in _finish_clicked

    raise RuntimeError(_("Did not find any UEFI binary path for "
RuntimeError: Did not find any UEFI binary path for arch 'armv7l'

I'm using app-emulation/qemu 7.1.0 and app-emulation/libvirt-8.8.0

Comment 2 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-10-21 17:50:20 UTC
Is UEFI booting supported on that platform?
Comment 3 darkbasic 2022-10-21 20:34:34 UTC
Not sure to be honest (but there is a /usr/share/qemu/edk2-arm-code.fd). Anyway it's virt-manager which configures the vm depending on the machine type, so it shouldn't error out anyway.

If I set machine type to virt and check "Customize configuration before install" I have three options for Firmware:
Default
UEFI
UEFI armv7l:/usr/share/qemu/edk2-arm-code.fd

If at this point I change the machine type to raspi2b I still have the same three options, but unfortunately I get another error when clicking on "Begin installation":

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: Required option 'modelName' is not set for PCI controller with index '1', model 'pcie-root-port' and modelName 'none''
Comment 4 darkbasic 2022-10-21 20:36:01 UTC
Btw the goal is to use direct kernel boot.

This bit *seems* like an upstream issue, unsure about the previous backtrace.
Comment 6 darkbasic 2022-11-07 13:34:10 UTC
Not sure if virt-manager is the correct upstream for this issue, but I've reported it to them as well: https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/issues/449
Comment 7 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-11-07 15:25:36 UTC
Thanks! I imagine they'll have a better understanding than me of what should be happening. I am watching it.
