The VBE Shim in OVMF works on stdvga and QXL only. This is documented; please refer to OvmfPkg/README, section "UEFI Windows 7 & Windows 2008 Server". According to your results, stuff works on latest QEMU, in all configurations that are expected to be functional. Gerd CC'd qemu- stable@nongnu.org on his patch referenced above, so I guess it will be part of 2.6.1, whenever it is released. I'm closing this with fix committed. Thanks. ** Changed in: qemu Status: New =3D> Fix Committed -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1591724 Title: Windows 7 installation DVD can't boot in qemu 2.6.0/OVMF Status in QEMU: Fix Committed Bug description: With Qemu 2.5.50 (compiled from git some time ago) I can boot Windows 7 x= 64 installation DVD as follows: ~/code/qemu-v2/bin/slic-v2/native/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -machine type=3Dpc,accel=3Dkvm \ -enable-kvm \ -cpu host \ -m 2048 \ -vga cirrus \ -boot d \ -drive if=3Dpflash,file=3D/vms/ovmf_x64_firstrun.bin,format=3Draw \ -cdrom /vms/win7_sp1.iso \ -monitor stdio This bug suggests different vga options https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1581936.
