Grub EFI ia32 in QEMU using TianoCore EFI BIOS

Grub EFI ia32 in QEMU using TianoCore EFI BIOS

[Colin Ian King]

Hi,
        
I've noticed only just recently that an EFI BIOS has been ported to
QEMU http://www.qemu.org/efi-bios.tar.bz2 from the TianoCore EFI
sources.
        
Has anyone had any success at getting EFI enabled grub2 to load and boot
a kernel inside of QEMU using this TianoCore EFI BIOS? 
        
I'm trying to get it to work based on the Ubuntu Karmic grub-efi-ia32
package (based on grub2-1.97 beta4) and I'm having all sorts of problems
trying to make it parse and execute the commands in a menu correctly.
        
Any one else had any luck with this?
        
Colin

This file is quite old. Try this
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/grub/phcoder/qemu-tianocore-x64.tar.lzma
(note: it's 64-bit so you need qemu-system-x86_64)

If someone needs to link to this, please use the mirrored URL:

  http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/grub/phcoder/qemu-tianocore-x64.tar.lzma

-noredirect is mostly for mirrors to pull from.

Hi,

I couldn't boot the EFI BIOS image from the qemu-tianocore-x64.tar.lzma
tarball. I used version 0.11.0 of QEMU. Any ideas?
