How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.2

Brief summary

UEFI guests doesn’t work at all. The guest spins at 100% CPU without even initializing the QEMU-emulated display.

Steps to reproduce

Put an HVM guest in UEFI mode and start it:

$ qvm-prefs SOMEVM virt-mode hvm
$ qvm-prefs SOMEVM kernel ''
$ qvm-prefs SOMEVM debug True
$ qvm-features SOMEVM uefi 1
$ qvm-start SOMEVM

Expected behavior

SOMEVM starts, or at least displays something in the QEMU emulated display.

Actual behavior

SOMEVM hangs at 100% CPU without even initializing the emulated display.

This may be because there is no edk2-ovmf-xen package installed on the host.
