Please bump to 202211. This version also adds EFI firmwares with 4M space, which seems to be needed[1] to workaround issues installing certain Windows updates on guests (e.g. KB5017308, KB5012170). [1] https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/discussions/3221#discussioncomment-3664708
How do you solve this for gentoo? Just ripping the binaries from Fedora?
I'm asking because I can't seem to find a simple way of making it work by just replacing the binaries/files, I'm getting libvirt.libvirtError: operation failed: Unable to find any firmware to satisfy 'efi'
Just adding this for visibility, since people might be Googling. Currently you cannot have a Windows 11 guest VM on Gentoo without the VM crashing on itself after Windows Update (boot failure following Automatic repair and then a reset user profile). You have to manually provide the 4M version of these binaries, and then it works.
Created attachment 862260 [details] /etc/qemu/firmware/30-edk2-ovmf-sb-enrolled.json Here's the qemu firmware json I need in /etc/qemu/firmware for making the new 4M firmwares work (when just overwriting the files with the 4M binaries from Fedora)
The crashing and reset of user folders I was talking about were related to enabling BitLocker in Windows 11 VMs in qemu (which still doesn't work properly). The real symptom with this firmware issue is that applying the mentioned Windows Updates wont succeed. It also affects Windows 10 VMs.
edk2-stable202305 is the latest released. https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable202305
Does this package have a maintainer? The latest in-tree version sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf-202202 is not only OLD, it has also started failing to build...

It now: * Respects CC, CXX, and flags when building the base tools. * Doesn't use gcc/cc when building the firmware, enabling cross. * Prepares the ground for supporting platforms other than OVMF for x64. * Installs OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd prepared with virt-fw-vars. * Includes the latest UEFI DBX update in OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd. * Adds 4MB variants of the .fd images (in QCOW2 format). * Fixes network support broken by a recent bump. * Drops EnrollDefaultKeys.efi and UefiShell.img The enrollment tool hasn't actually worked for a while and is no longer needed now that we provide OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd. UefiShell.img is therefore of little use, and other distros now provide UefiShell.iso instead anyway. We can do the same if there is sufficient interest. This moves us closer to Fedora, but they ship far more variants. They have a large Python wrapper around upstream's build system, which is unusual in itself. Building all these would make the ebuild much more complex, take a long time, and use up more disk space. Perhaps USE flags could help here, but I'm not sure what all these variants are for. I also decided to install to paths based on upstream's names, e.g. edk2/ArmVirtQemu-AARCH64 as opposed to Fedora's edk2/aarch64 because mixing QEMU with Xen and others would be confusing when there are many similarly named files, even within a single architecture.
