I can explain that one.
suspend-to-disk.enabled=yes requires a firmware image that advertises
the acpi-s4 feature, and you probably don't have one on your system.
For example, on my Fedora 38 machine:
$ grep acpi-s4 /usr/share/qemu/firmware/*.json
$
Yeah, the error message is not very helpful. Unfortunately, due to
the way firmware autoselection works, emitting a better one would be
pretty much impossible :(
Might a simple fix to make the error message at least slightly more
helpful be to change it to something like: "Unable to find any
firmware to satisfy '<whatever>' with specified settings"
That would make it clearer that it isn't _necessarily_ the "efi" part
(or whatever it happens to be in the specific case) which is the
actual, _specific_ problem.
