xnoxcyphermox, https://wiki.canonical.com/UbuntuEngineering/Foundations/NVMe instructions on how to boot qemu-kvm with uefi and NVMe drive15:12
xnoxi dont' know if using recent qemu if that would work for legacy mode too.15:13
xnoxat the time only edk has the drivers for nvme drive, and thus uefi only.15:13
davmor2xnox: whats the nvme bit the rest is what I use with the addition of secureboot15:16
xnoxqemu-system-x86_64 -pflash OVMF.fd -m 1024 -cdrom trusty-desktop-amd64.iso -drive file=nvme.img,if=none,id=D22 -device nvme,drive=D22,serial=1234 --enable-kvm15:17
xnoxdavmor2, ^15:17
xnoxi've also had to build a custom OVMF.fd with nvme driver15:18
xnoxno idea if that's needed, or if slangasek has rebuild new enough ovmf which has nvmedriver included15:18
davmor2xnox: I just use a qcow2 drive currently15:18
xnoxeh?15:20
xnoxdavmor2, nvme is a device type e.g. hdd/sata.15:20
xnoxqcow2 is the file format of virtual disks that qemu knows about15:21
davmor2xnox: yeah that's what I was asking about, just reading up on it now :)15:21
xnoxok15:22
davmor2http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Datera-kvm-forum-141009_0.pdf quite a good read for a slide show :)15:24
cyphermoxxnox: ah, thanks. I was not aware there was a nvme drivr15:42
cyphermoxxnox: fwiw you don't need to build your own ovmf anymore, things works OOB.17:42
