[edk2-devel] Bug Discussion: Unknown EDK II BIOS version description (OVMF) on WIN10 guest.

[ruifeng.gao at intel.com]

Hi all,

we have used the latest stable release (tag: edk2-stable202302) of edk2 to build OVMF.fd. Then used this OVMF.fd to create our WIN10 guest.

* QEMU launch parameters: qemu-system-x86_64 -accel kvm -cpu host -drive file=img_KVM_Boot_EFI_WIN10,if=none,id=virtio-disk0 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=virtio-disk0,bootindex=0 -m 4096 -smp 4 -bios OVMF.fd -daemonize -vnc :7
* Check command: systeminfo

After checking the BIOS version, we have seen the unknown EDK II version description issue:

Compared with previous commit id: ca33daafc630a7952de482813dccd5202f005dbf , the BIOS Version shows as " *E* *FI Development Kit II / OVMF 0.0.0, 2/6/2015* ". Since the commit id: 5890a18409a0e67a491c600b930e6c904ad3b3fd , the BIOS Version starts to show as " *EDK II unknown, 1/1/1601* "

We are not certain if the BIOS Version description in WIN10 guest is correct.

Appreciate your kind answers. Thanks.

Best regards,
Ruifeng
