Awesome. The 32bit kernel should work "as is". For 64bit you'd need to use the patched master kernel (3.19-rc2 + my pci patch, master branch in the openSUSE kernel git). In a while, it should get automatically pushed to https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Kernel:HEAD/kernel-default at which point you should be able to grab a compiled version from OBS. So far I was able to confirm that VGA and XHCI both work just fine, so I don't see any big problems with bringing up OpenQA. Does OpenQA need to see the grub menu? TianoCore doesn't have support for PCI (and thus VGA) yet, so the first thing you'll see on the screen is Linux. >> For 32bit ARM we don't have installation images or EFI, so OpenQA will >> be harder to do. > > Not sure how feasible it would be, but could you nest a 32bit guest? What do you mean by "nest"? In OpenQA, you want to test the installation process, no? If we don't have an installation process there's nothing to test :).
