OVMF and SMBIOS

Hi,

I am trying to create kvm instance using libvirt and Qemu and OVMF that also has SMBIOS included. My current version of Qemu only supports type 0 and type 1 SMBIOS tables so I specify those. However, when I use smbiosview in the UEFI shell, I get back "SMBIOS not found".

I attach my current libvirt xml specification for the kvm host.

Does anyone have any immediate ideas?

Cheers,
Tom
