I have been testing an issue Fedora bug report
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2312032

and if I boot a guest with the configuration
type = "hvm"
name = "uefitest"
memory = 1024
vcpus = 1
disk = [ 'file:/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/UefiShell.iso,sda,r' ]
vnc = 1
bios = 'ovmf'
serial='pty'

I get the UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2 as expected, whereas if I boot with configuration
type = "hvm"
name = "uefitest"
memory = 1024
vcpus = 1
disk = [ 'file:/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/UefiShell.iso,sda,r' ]
vnc = 1
firmware = '/usr/share/edk2/xen/OVMF.fd'
serial='pty'

I don't get any output. So is the latter configuration expected to work?

/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/UefiShell.iso is from the edk2-ovmf-20241117-5.fc41 fedora package and /usr/share/edk2/xen/OVMF.fd is from the edk2-ovmf-xen-20241117-5.fc41 package. xen on fedora is built with the
--with-system-ovmf=/usr/share/edk2/xen/OVMF.fd option.
