how to hide UEFI BdsDxe string on boot up

[si458]

Hi All

this is possibly going to sound a daft question,

how do you hide the two line strings 'BdsDxe' message when the VM starts up if set as UEFI?

Regards

Simon

hi,

no easy way to do this.. you'd need to patch OVMF and recompile it

if you're really determined here's an example (just commenting out the print statement)

diff --git a/OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBmPrintScLib/StatusCodeHandler.c b/OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBmPrintScLib/StatusCodeHandler.c
index 594ab105e2..cb3a2878c0 100644

Thanks Oguz, but what is the purpose of showing those 2 lines? It makes a new user to promox feels as though there was an error.
