My findings:

  1. I tried several different workers, none of them can work now
  2. There is no changes for iso image, but need to double confirm if any kernel parameters changed or code change recently
  3. I noticed that there were some packages update from worker side as well, I am not sure if the issue has something to do with the new OVMF/QEMU packages

Will investigate it.

The issue can still be seen with UEFI_PFLASH_CODE=/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-code.bin UEFI_PFLASH_VARS=/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-vars.bin

Is it possible to restore the previous snapshot of the worker to run the test again?

The issue can be reproduced with the ovmf binary files used in openQA worker as well. see https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1726216772558129

  • Subject changed from [tools][qe-core][qem] UEFI installation can not work any more! need to check it is a product issue or something caused by worker's update to [tools][qe-core][qem] UEFI installation can not work any more due to qemu-ovmf package's update from worker side

On my workstation I had qemu-ovmf-x86_64-202402 installed and it booted fine. After installing the latest build (qemu-ovmf-x86_64-202405-Virt.1699.300.1.noarch) it failed.
This only happens if there is a virtio-rng-pci device attached.

Added QEMU_VIRTIO_RNG=0 for machine uefi and uefi-no-secboot as a workaround for now. will remove it once the fix is ready

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230587 has a fix. I installed the new version with sudo salt -C 'G@roles:worker and G@osarch:x86_64' cmd.run "zypper -n in qemu-ovmf-x86_64". Started https://openqa.suse.de/tests/15461990 . Removed workarounds from https://openqa.suse.de/admin/machines. I called openqa-label-all --openqa-host https://openqa.suse.de --module selfinstall --label 'label:bsc#1230587' which retriggered about 100 jobs. Multiple UEFI jobs are currently running. I have not found any more related blocking failures.
