@hartwork The qemu seems to include all the necessary files for UEFI firmware to boot, can you please review it? https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/29074#issuecomment-1009308697

Comment:
@Animeshz `/usr/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-code.fd` looks like it could be the right file but I don't be able to test this myself economically with an installation of Void. If someone could confirm that `G2TP_OVMF_IMAGE=/usr/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-code.fd grub2-theme-preview [..]` works on Void in practice and without it it doesn't, I can add that patch to the auto-detection at https://github.com/hartwork/grub2-theme-preview/blob/master/grub2_theme_preview/__main__.py#L375-L384 for Void.

With the old `-bios` option, it was `qemu: could not load PC BIOS '/usr/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-code.fd'`.

I believe I found this format of specifying uefi image from [this article](https://krinkinmu.github.io/2020/10/11/efi-getting-started.html).

Comment:
It seem like #11392 has not been merged — correct? @jcgruenhage If that's true, please re-open this issue so that https://github.com/hartwork/grub2-theme-preview has a chance to work on EFI hardware running Void Linux (while it already works fine on Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Fedora). Thank you!
