[Build 2.16] aarch64 kernel is missing EFI FB support
Last modified: 2024-06-25 18:00:04 UTC
## Observation openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP6-JeOS-for-kvm-and-xen-aarch64-jeos-apparmor@aarch64 fails in [bootloader_uefi](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12736937/modules/bootloader_uefi/steps/2) ## Test suite description Apparmor test suite for JeOS. It is enabled from 15-SP4, where JeOS (MinimalVM) comes with apparmor enabled by default. openQA tests are failing during first boot of the image. The tests are setting gfxpayload parameter to 1024x768.[1] The "set gfxpayload=" is currently missing in the newest builds of aarch64 kvm image. Kudos to Fabian, the arm64 kernel is missing CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y or CONFIG_FB_EFI=y. Tested image: SLES15-SP6-Minimal-VM.aarch64-kvm-Build2.16.qcow2 [1] https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12506363#step/bootloader_uefi/4 ## Reproducible Fails since (at least) Build [1.14](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12036337) ## Expected result Last good: [1.11](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11953776) (or more recent) ## Further details Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?arch=aarch64&distri=sle&flavor=JeOS-for-kvm-and-xen&machine=aarch64&test=jeos-apparmor&version=15-SP6)
I can confirm that efifb support is completely missing. Booting with "video=efifb modprobe.blacklist=virtio-gpu" results in no graphical output.
Indeed, it looks like CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB is enabled only on x86_64. Thomas, could you check and correct?
Merged.
