QEMU / KVM in Fedora qube with HVM to be used for installing UEFI boot ISO VM

[Martin Thygesen]

If anyone has prior learning for installing and operating qemu/kvm inside a fedora HVM qube please advise.

I'm looking to emulate UEFI support for a boot iso that requires it for installation and operational

The boot iso does not require a secure boot, it's mainly just a build issue from the persons that manage the ISO build itself.

I'm looking at this option since Xen in dom0 support for UEFI HVM is basically non-functional for my requirements at this time.

Before investing the time I'd like to double-check to see if there is prior learning here.

Granted I'm not completely sure that qemu/kvm can fully emulate UEFI boot, on fedora on top of qubes.

Looking at some other qemu/kvm forums, support for UEFI boot seems to be well documented and resolved.

Anyway if you have prior learning hear, I'd appreciate the input or pointers before I go down that path.

I'm more than happy to document this going forward for others to use if I can get some idea of the implications this will have aside from some of the obvious challenges.

I'm hardly an authority here and have no direct experience with qemu but I know virtualbox does not work in qubes. I dont see qemu being any easier to get running.
