- When configuring UEFI, don't overwrite previous options. - When configuring UEFI, don't repeat -H. - Move -w from UEFI options to default options.
This PR is essential to make Linux VMs work in FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p3 with edk2-bhyve-g202308. Without this, my Linux VMs would fail to finish booting entirely. |
fwiw, I've applied this patch manually and my linux VM still refuses to start. The configuration is:
(edited out disk and networking) when trying to start it I get:

Probably the same problem here (1.5.0/uefi/13.2-RELEASE-p8). It worked until recent update to 13.2-RELEASE-p8. Now machine starts for a moment then exits with error 4 or 134. |

Currently,
vm::run

to-AHP
, then, in the UEFI case callsvm::uefi
which, instead of appending to_opts
, sets it to-Hwl bootrom,...
. This means UEFI VMs are started without-A
, which was never a good idea but which causes them to fail to boot with recent versions ofedk2-bhyve
(see https://bugs.freebsd.org/273560).The main purpose of this PR is to change
vm::uefi
to append to_opts
so-A
is not lost and UEFI VMs boot correctly.In addition, it moves the
-w
option from UEFI-only to default, and deduplicates the-H
option.
