Hi All

Installed latest updates for Raspberry Pi 5 running bookworm using apt-get update / apt-get dist-upgrade and rebooted the PVE on the RPI 5 and one of my VM's gets: TASK ERROR: EFI base image '/usr/share/pve-edk2-firmware//AAVMF_CODE.ms.fd' not found.

This one started ok:

This one didnt and only worked after i did the symlink:

I had set them both up at the same time and are identical in all settings anywhere and everywhere, the only difference is USB passthru to the VM in the first pic i said started up fine.

To fix i created a symlink from AAVMF_CODE.fd to AAVMF_CODE.ms.fd and the VM now starts without issue

Solved it with upgrade pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64 to 4.2024.11-2.

@jiangcuo With the newest upgrade for "pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64" VM's on Raspberry Pi 4B doesn't boot.

Error Messeage while booting: "synchronous exception at 0x000000009BF8A438"

With downgrade to Version pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64 = 4.2023.08-4 everything works fine.

[jiangcuo]

The new version 4.2024.11-3 has been released, please test it
