Hello,
I followed (quite simple) steps from this blog post and copied EFI shell as said here; QEMU (0.14, from ubuntu repositories) runs, but remains black. I tried various options, including those mentioned on UEFI page on wiki, but with no success with booting into EFI shell.
Does anyone have any working solution for starting EFI in QEMU?

It seems that stock qemu insists on emulating an IBM PC compatible system, and that you need a special built rom that will actually deal with the issue.

Re: EFI in QEMU
OVMF, however, is UEFI---which is not fully backwards compatible with EFI (I've documented at least some of the changes here). I remember being able to make QEMU work with this a few years back; I can't remember which versions of either I used so don't shout at me if it doesn't work anymore.

Thanks, OVMF seems to be the way to go.
