I upgraded my PVE 8.3.4 system to 8.4.1. Part of that upgrade included updating the EDKII firmware packages:
This leads to the requirement to add a VirtIO RNG device to a VM in UEFI boot mode to support PXE boot option of a VM, among other use cases.
When using the WebUI to add a VirtIO RNG device (using /dev/urandom, 1024 bytes, 1000 ms period), I receive the following error on Start of the VM:
This prevents us from creating PXE bootable VMs to deploy/manage them with our Automation and Orchestration platform (Digital Rebar Platform).
This used to work for ARM64 VMs prior to the EDKII firmware blob updates.
