Hi, I built a new computer, kind of a computation node for VMs for me.

if I use seabios everything is ok, if I use OVMF the VM doenst start with the error message:

"kvm: combined size of system firmware exceeds 8388608 bytes"

TASK ERROR: start failed: command '/usr/bin/kvm -id 1122101 -name W10 -chardev 'socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/1122101.qmp,server,nowait' -mon 'chardev=qmp,mode=control' -chardev 'socket,id=qmp-event,path=/var/run/qmeventd.sock,reconnect=5' -mon 'chardev=qmp-event,mode=control' -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/1122101.pid -daemonize -smbios 'type=1,uuid=c526cd88-2b5b-49f2-b751-c5b7a147e9da' -drive 'if=pflash,unit=0,format=raw,readonly,file=/usr/share/pve-edk2-firmware//OVMF_CODE.fd' -drive 'if=pflash,unit=1,format=raw,id=drive-efidisk0,file=/dev/SSD480/vm-1122101-disk-1' -smp '1,sockets=1,cores=1,maxcpus=1' -nodefaults -boot 'menu=on,strict=on,reboot-timeout=1000,splash=/usr/share/qemu-server/bootsplash.jpg' -vga none -nographic -no-hpet -cpu 'host,+pcid,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+kvm_pv_eoi,hv_vendor_id=proxmox,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vapic,hv_time,hv_reset,hv_vpindex,hv_runtime,hv_relaxed,hv_synic,hv_stimer,hv_ipi,kvm=off' -m 4096 -object 'memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=4096M' -numa 'node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0' -device 'vmgenid,guid=669abbd9-e718-4b77-b322-64d637ccc6e5' -readconfig /usr/share/qemu-server/pve-q35.cfg -device 'usb-tablet,id=tablet,bus=ehci.0,port=1' -device 'vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostpci0.0,bus=ich9-pcie-port-1,addr=0x0.0,multifunction=on' -device 'vfio-pci,host=01:00.1,id=hostpci0.1,bus=ich9-pcie-port-1,addr=0x0.1' -chardev 'socket,path=/var/run/qemu-server/1122101.qga,server,nowait,id=qga0' -device 'virtio-serial,id=qga0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8' -device 'virtserialport,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0' -device 'virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3' -iscsi 'initiator-name=iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:d84479581d89' -drive 'file=/var/lib/vz/template/iso/virtio-win.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0,media=cdrom,aio=threads' -device 'ide-cd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0,id=ide0,bootindex=200' -drive 'file=/var/lib/vz/template/iso/Win10.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide2,media=cdrom,aio=threads' -device 'ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide2,id=ide2,bootindex=201' -device 'virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsihw0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5' -drive 'file=/dev/SSD480/vm-1122101-disk-0,if=none,id=drive-scsi0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,detect-zeroes=on' -device 'scsi-hd,bus=scsihw0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0,id=scsi0,rotation_rate=1,bootindex=100' -netdev 'type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap1122101i0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridge,downscript=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridgedown,vhost=on' -device 'virtio-net-pci,mac=3A:7C:22:9C:13:54,netdev=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x12,id=net0,bootindex=300' -rtc 'driftfix=slew,base=localtime' -machine 'type=pc-q35-3.1' -global 'kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard'' failed: exit code 1
