If you have a firmware log with DEBUG_VERBOSE enabled, I could take a look.
Assuming you are *not* on QEMU (e.g., you are developing a new
virtio-blk device, and running OVMF on your non-QEMU emulator), it could
be anything, really. Try to add DEBUG messages to the following drivers
/ functions:
- VirtioPciDeviceDxe
- VirtioPciDeviceBindingSupported
- VirtioPciDeviceBindingStart
- Virtio10Dxe
- Virtio10BindingSupported
- Virtio10BindingStart
- VirtioBlkDxe
- VirtioBlkDriverBindingSupported
- VirtioBlkDriverBindingStart
These drivers all follow the UEFI driver model. So, if you find no
mapping for the virtio-blk-pci device in the UEFI shell, then they fail
to bind your device implementation for some reason.
You mention that there is no "bootorder" fw_cfg file, so
PlatformBdsConnectSequence() will see ConnectDevicesFromQemu() fail, and
then EfiBootManagerConnectAll() will be called. If the virtio-blk-pci
devices are not connected under those circumstances, then they don't do
something that the virtio PCI transport drivers (0.9.5 or 1.0) expect,
or the virtio-blk device driver expects. There's no silver bullet, you
may have to add DEBUGs to various spots in these drivers, to see what fails.
Thanks
Laszlo
