+Following the edk2 build process, you will find the OVMF binaries\r
+under the $WORKSPACE/Build/*/*/FV directory. The actual path will\r
+depend on how your build is configured. You can expect to find\r
+these binary outputs:\r
+* OVMF.Fv\r
+ * Please note! This filename has changed. Older releases used OVMF.fd.\r
+* CirrusLogic5446.rom\r

=== RUNNING OVMF on QEMU ===\r
\r
* QEMU 0.9.1 or later is required.\r
-* Either copy, rename or symlink OVMF.fd => bios.bin\r
+* Either copy, rename or symlink OVMF.Fv => bios.bin\r
+* Either copy, rename or symlink CirrusLogic5446.rom => vgabios-cirrus.bin\r
* Be sure to use qemu-system-x86_64, if you are using and X64 firmware.\r
(qemu-system-x86_64 works for the IA32 firmware as well, of course.)\r
-* Use the QEMU -L parameter to specify the directory where bios.bin\r
- is located.\r
-* If QEMU returns an error about not finding a video bios, you can\r
- try creating an empty copy of the video bios file, or copy the\r
- video bios from QEMU's BIOS directory.\r
+* Use the QEMU -L parameter to specify the directory where the bios.bin\r
+ and vgabios-cirrus.bin files are located.\r
* Optionally you can use the QEMU -serial command to capture the\r
OVMF debug messages. For example: -serial file:serial.log\r
* The EFI shell is built into OVMF builds at this time, so it should\r
run automatically if a UEFI boot application is not found on the\r
removable media.\r
+* On Linux, newer version of QEMU may enable KVM feature, and this might cause OVMF\r
+ to fail to boot. The QEMU '-no-kvm' may allow OVMF to boot.\r
