Dear EDK2 folks,


On the two Dell laptops XPS 13 9360 and 9370 and with OVMF and QEMU the 
Grml live image [1] cannot be started from a USB device.

The error on the display is:

> Reloc 0 block size 2756420659 is invalid
> Relocation failed: Unsupported
> Failed to load image: Unsupported
> start_image() returned Unsupported

With OVMF I only the the first two lines.

Unfortunately, I do not know where the error comes from. Is it a GRU 
problem?

Here is how you can reproduce this with QEMU.

Download the ISO file [2], and follow *How to run OVMF* in the Wiki [3]. 
I downloaded Gerd’s prebuilt images [4] and extracted them.

Then I did `mkdir hda-contents` and run QEMU with the command below.

     qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -bios 
edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF-pure-efi.fd -hda fat:hda-contents -net none -hdb 
~/Downloads/grml64-full_sid_latest.iso


Kind regards,

Paul

These messages are printed by the "shim" UEFI application:

  https://github.com/rhboot/shim/blob/master/shim.c

probably when it attempts to load "grub".

I suggest reporting the issue at
<https://github.com/rhboot/shim/issues>. (Perhaps this issue has been
reported already, I'm not sure.)

Thanks
Laszlo
