Hey folks,
I'm running libvirt 10.1.0/qemu-system-x86-core-9.0.1-1.fc40.x86_64 on Fedora
40. I'm trying to boot an Ubuntu image in UEFI mode, like this:
virt-install -r 2048 -n ubuntu.virt --os-variant ubuntu24.04 \
--disk pool=default,size=10,backing_store=mantic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img,backing_format=qcow2
\
--cloud-init root-ssh-key=$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub \
--boot uefi
This results in the domain booting up and then immediately resetting:
BdsDxe: loading Boot0001 "UEFI Misc Device" from
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x3)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
BdsDxe: starting Boot0001 "UEFI Misc Device" from
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x3)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
Reset System
Domain creation completed.
At this point, the machine is actually powered down and needs to be
restarted manually:
virsh start ubuntu.virt
This works fine, and the domain boots successfully, but now the cloud-init
metadata provided by the `--cloud-init` option to `virt-install` is no longer
available (because this is no longer the initial, virt-install managed boot of
the domain).
What is causing the firmware to reset the system when it first boots?
