[15:13] at the time only edk has the drivers for nvme drive, and thus uefi only. [15:16] xnox: whats the nvme bit the rest is what I use with the addition of secureboot [15:17] qemu-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-kvm [15:17] davmor2, ^ [15:18] i've also had to build a custom OVMF.fd with nvme driver [15:18] no idea if that's needed, or if slangasek has rebuild new enough ovmf which has nvmedriver included [15:18] xnox: I just use a qcow2 drive currently [15:20] eh? [15:20] davmor2, nvme is a device type e.g. hdd/sata. [15:21] qcow2 is the file format of virtual disks that qemu knows about [15:21] xnox: yeah that's what I was asking about, just reading up on it now :) [15:22] ok [15:24] http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Datera-kvm-forum-141009_0.pdf quite a good read for a slide show :) [15:42] xnox: ah, thanks. I was not aware there was a nvme drivr [17:42] xnox: fwiw you don't need to build your own ovmf anymore, things works OOB. [17:44] cool.
