> Are you using OVMF? Which versions of qemu and OVMF are you using? I'm using Apple's Virtualization.framework, not QEMU. It doesn't use UEFI when it directly loads bzImage. ( dmesg: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=304323 ) Despite that, it still expects LINUX_EFISTUB_MINOR_VERSION (include/linux/pe.h) referred from arch/x86/boot/header.S to be 0x0. I confirmed that the kernel can boot by just setting LINUX_EFISTUB_MINOR_VERSION to 0x0. Would it be possible to revert the LINUX_EFISTUB_MINOR_VERSION value (not the actual code) to 0x0? Or will it break something else? Anyway, I'll try to make a request to Apple to remove the LINUX_EFISTUB_MINOR_VERSION check. 2023年5月28日(日) 3:04 Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>: > > On Sat, 27 May 2023 at 20:00, Akihiro Suda <suda.kyoto@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > [Resending as a plain text email] > > > > Turned out that this is a mixture of an ACPICA issue and an EFISTUB issue. > > > > Kernel v6.2 can boot by reverting the *both* of the following two commits: > > - 5c62d5aab8752e5ee7bfbe75ed6060db1c787f98 "ACPICA: Events: Support > > fixed PCIe wake event" > > - e346bebbd36b1576a3335331fed61bb48c6d8823 "efi: libstub: Always > > enable initrd command line loader and bump version" > > > > Kernel v6.3 can boot by just reverting e346bebb, as 5c62d5a has been > > already reverted in 8e41e0a575664d26bb87e012c39435c4c3914ed9. > > The situation is the same for v6.4-rc3 too. > > > > Note that in my test I let Virtualization.framework directly load > > bzImage without GRUB (akin to `qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bzImage`). > > Apparently, reverting e346bebb is not necessary for loading bzImage via GRUB. > > > > Are you using OVMF?
