In general, you can't run a UEFI firmware image from real hardware on QEMU. The things the firmware will try to do are very low level and it will assume that it's running on a Lenovo laptop, which is not exactly the same hardware that QEMU provides. Even if you figured out how to extract a binary blob from whatever wrapper Lenovo puts it in for downloading, it would just crash if you tried to run it in QEMU. You should run a UEFI image that is compiled to know it is running on QEMU, like the EDK2 one. thanks -- PMM
