 |Great! I think enabling UEFI in the VM should also work. I base this \

 |gives me a console:
 |
 |```
 |kvm -enable-kvm -machine ubuntu-q35,accel=kvm -device intel-iommu -m 4g \
 |   -cpu host -smp cpus=4,cores=2,threads=2 -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd \

 |    \
 |   -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=viornd0 -device virtio-rng-p\
 |   ci,rng=viornd0 \
 |   -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev\
 |   =net0 \
 |   -device virtio-gpu \
 |   "$@"
 |```

 |(you can change `virtio-gpu' to `virtio-vga')
 |

 |BIOS mode,
 |then I get the same panic.

To mention that i dropped the OVMF port i had for CRUX Linux
(thanks again to the "NetBSD port" where this was derived from)
because Qemu "now" ships EDK by default.  I thus changed my
VM script (alignment badly adjusted from tabs) to do

  @      vmefi=non-empty and we use -bios $QEMU_EFI/edk2-$vmsys-code.fd $QEMU_EFI/$vmsys.fd
  ...
  QEMU_EFI=/usr/share/qemu
  #QEMU_EFI=/usr/share/qemu-efi-bin
  ...

  if [ -n "$vmefi" ]; then
      vmefi="${QEMU_EFI}"/edk2-$vmsys-code.fd  xvmefi=
      case "$vmsys" in
      x86_64|i386)
          xvmefi="${QEMU_EFI}"/edk2-i386-vars.fd
          vmefi="${QEMU_EFI}"/edk2-$vmsys.fd
          ;;
      arm)
          xvmefi="${QEMU_EFI}"/edk2-arm-vars.fd
          vmefi="${QEMU_EFI}"/edk2-$vmsys.fd
          ;;
      aarch64) :;;
      *)
          echo >&2 '$vmefi: unsupported $vmsys='$vmsys
          syno
          ;;
      esac

      if [ ! -f "$vmefi" ]; then
        if [ -f "$xvmefi" ] && [ -f "${QEMU_EFI}"/edk2-$vmsys-code.fd ]; then
          cat "$xvmefi" "${QEMU_EFI}"/edk2-$vmsys-code.fd > $vmefi
          chmod 0644 $vmefi
        else
          echo >&2 '$vmefi: missing firmware files!'
        fi
      fi
      #vmefi="${QEMU_EFI}"/$vmsys.fd

      if [ ! -f "$vmefi" ]; then
          echo >&2 '$vmefi: no such edk2-ovmf firmware: '$vmefi
          syno
      fi
      vmefi='-bios '$vmefi
  fi

fwiw..
