Note this upstream commit: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/ab069d580111ccc64d6b0c9697b7c5fd6e= 1507ce "OvmfPkg/QemuVideoDxe: purge VbeShim The guest os which depends on vbeshim for video support is -- according to the comments -- Windows 2008 R2. Which went EOL in January 2020, more than four years ago." Reasonable perspective one: "2008 R2 is EOL and should not be run" Reasonable perspective two: "2008 R2 is EOL and should be virtualized" What is your position? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
