When we choose /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin or /usr/share/qemu/bios-256k.bin
in Customize configuration before install, show this error message:
Unable to complete install: 'operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper
callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2081, in _do_async_install
installer.start_install(guest, meter=meter)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 721, in start_install
domain = self._create_guest(
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 669, in _create_guest
domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4347, in createXML
raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin
This patch check the loader if it is include bios.bin and bios-256k.bin.
