Are you using the secure boot firmware file? I can replicate the error by using the /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.secboot.fd file.
Setting it to /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.fd works correctly. Also, are you using a GUI for managing the virtual machine?

Hello MaxLPM . Thank you for your answer .
After searching for a solution on the Internet for a long time, I found the answer, here https://record99.blogspot.com/2021/12/bdsdex-failed-to-load-boot0001-uefi-bhyve-sata-disk.html
but I have not yet figured out how to copy bootx64.efi during system installation so that this error does not appear after the system starts.

As for loading, I use this command after which I received the error from the screenshot

Code: [Select]

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd  -cdrom  artix-base-openrc-20230814-x86_64.iso  -m 2048  -smp 2 -enable-kvm

Hm, weird, the qemu command you mentioned works fine on my machine.
What command did you use to install the bootloader?

I didn't install the bootloader from the repository, I built Grub that supports argon2id, you can see it here https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,6789.30.html

I had no problems installing the bootloader, I used the command:

Code: [Select]

sh-5.2# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub /dev/vda --recheck

The grub-install command you provided works fine for me, even though it doesn't create the bootx64.efi file. Also, I'm pretty sure that /dev/vda gets ignored if --efi-directory is used.
Maybe try running

Code: [Select]

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --removable

From the Arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Default/fallback_boot_path):

Quote

Some UEFI firmwares require a bootable file at a known location before they will show UEFI NVRAM boot entries. If this is the case, grub-install will claim efibootmgr has added an entry to boot GRUB, however the entry will not show up in the VisualBIOS boot order selector. The solution is to install GRUB at the default/fallback boot path:
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=esp --removable

Edit: just checked, adding --removable creates the /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI file, maybe this is what you're looking for?

Hello MaxLPM. Thanks for your answer and help. Your advice worked 100%)) Yes, indeed, after adding

Code: [Select]

 --removable

BOOTX64.EFI was created, I booted again, there was no error and I need to enter a password. After entering the password, the system booted!

I will also make a correction to my test instructions https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,6789.30.html

I'll write it here to help others:

Code: [Select]

# mount /dev/sda1   /boot/efi

# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --removable
