Ok. Actually I did: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-07/msg06339.html Upon checking the libvirtd status (the one Ubuntu 24.04 provides) I see: /sys/firmware/efi/systab: SMBIOS entry point missing This is observed even after replacing the Arm CCA support kernel to upstream v6.10 kernel with some DMI configuration changes in.
