Re: mix of ACPICA regression and EFISTUB regression (Was: kernel >= v6.2 no longer boots on Apple's Virtualization.framework (x86_64); likely to be related to ACPICA)

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.
