KVM and UEFI Firmware

A couple of notes on KVM guests using UEFI rather than BIOS (currently the default):

  1. On Ubuntu, the ovmf package is a prerequisite for creating KVM guests that use UEFI (sudo apt install ovmf).
  2. Linux and Windows machines use different firmware files from the OVMF collection:
  • Linux guests use /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.fd
  • Windows guests use /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.ms.fd
