My current understanding is that ACPI on aarch64 requires UEFI, not necessarily AAVMF. I'll admit I haven't really considered other QEMU-compatible UEFI implementations, though, assuming they exist.

We currently require that ACPI is available when using UEFI, even though as mentioned above I believe it should really be the other way around. In any case, how would we validate that the pflash file we're passing to QEMU does indeed contain AAVMF? -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
