Add all three of the following options to your QEMU command line: -debugcon file:debug.log \ -global isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402 \ -serial stdio
In the OVMF debug log, you will see that your boot loader is launched: [Bds]Booting UEFI QEMU DVD-ROM QM00003 FatDiskIo: Cache Page OutBound occurred! FSOpen: Open '\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI' Success [Bds] DevicePath expand: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Ata(Secondary,Master,0x0) -> PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Ata(Secondary,Master,0x0)/CDROM(0x1,0xC83AD,0x11C0)/\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI InstallProtocolInterface: 5B1B31A1-9562-11D2-8E3F-00A0C969723B 6C4D040 Loading driver at 0x00006486000 EntryPoint=0x000064A3000 InstallProtocolInterface: BC62157E-3E33-4FEC-9920-2D3B36D750DF 700E318 And on the serial console, you will get the register dump for the crash: !!!!
