does not boot from cdrom

[cfriedt]

I copied and pasted the 'boot from cdrom' command and it did not work.

qemu-system-aarch64 \
         -machine virt,accel=hvf,highmem=off \
         -cpu cortex-a72 -smp 2 -m 4G \
         -device intel-hda -device hda-output \
         -device virtio-gpu-pci \
         -device virtio-keyboard-pci \
         -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net \
         -device virtio-mouse-pci \
         -display cocoa,gl=es \
         -netdev user,id=net,ipv6=off \
         -drive "if=pflash,format=raw,file=./edk2-aarch64-code.fd,readonly=on" \
         -drive "if=pflash,format=raw,file=./edk2-arm-vars.fd,discard=on" \
         -drive "if=virtio,format=raw,file=./hdd.raw,discard=on" \
         -cdrom focal-desktop-arm64.iso \
         -boot d

Also ran it explicitly with the path to the binary.

The error from TianoCore is below.

Looks like there is a fix found elsewhere:

Apparently this might have to do with UEFI secureboot

You can try to enter the uefi settings and try to change the boot device from there. It could be that the boot order is different. It happened with me once, but I couldn’t reproduce it reliably. Also, be careful with edk2-arm-vars.fd, as this is the file that will contain firmware settings. Whatever you change in the uefi setup is reflected there, so it will be persistent even if you destroy your VM hard drive. If you need a fresh version, you’ll need to copy the original file again.
