Can you be more specific about the issue you're experiencing for SEV(-ES) guests?
I'm seeing the same issue we were trying to solve for SNP guests with this series
ERROR operation failed: Unable to find 'efi' firmware that is compatible with the current configuration
Please share the debug output showing what happens during the firmware selection process. That will tell us why the amdsev.json descriptor is not considered suitable. I'm really surprised by this because things seem to work correctly in the context of the test suite, but clearly there's something going on.
Debug output attached. I've also attached the amdsev.json equivalent I'm using for testing. And for completeness, here's the virt-install command virt-install --virt-type kvm --hvm --arch x86_64 --name sev-es-temp --vcpus 2,maxvcpus=4 --memory 2048,maxmemory=4096 --memtune hard_limit=4563402 --boot uefi --disk path=/vm_images/jim/images/sev-temp/disk0.qcow2,size=60,format=qcow2 --network bridge=br0,model=virtio --location http://blabla/install/sles15sp7/x86_64 --autoconsole text --extra-args "console=ttyS0,115200n8" --extra-args "textmode=1" --graphics vnc --serial pty --launchSecurity sev,policy=0x03 --machine q35 --events on_reboot=destroy Regards, Jim
