I then converted the virtual disks from the VirtualBOX VM to using Qemu/kvm on Ubuntu 22.04, and all went well - VMS booted on the first try. I also booted the installation ISO to make sure that still worked. Let's call this system "linux-a".
I built a newer PC (AMD Ryzen 4500) for the purposes of it being the VM host, and the first VM I tried to host on it was the VMS host. I copied the ISO and the system disk images (qcow2) from "linux-a" to the new box, which I'll refer to as "linux-b".
When trying to boot the installation ISO or the system disk images on "linux-b", I get a "Page fault with IPL too high". I know what the bugcheck means, but I have no experience in troubleshooting this and am looking for help.
Near as I can tell, the only difference between the VM setups between "linux-a" and "linux-b" is the UEFI firmware. On "linux-a", it's
UEFI x86_64: /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.fd
On "linux-b" it's:
UEFI x86_64: /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-4m-code.bin
It does not appear that I can transfer the UEFI FW from "linux-a" to "linux-b", as they appear to be different formats, or at least the file names don't seem to match.
I'll post the booting and bugcheck data to a reply to this.
So, what am I missing here?
Thanks!

It occurred to me that I neglected to mention the OS on "linux-b".
It's OpenSuSE 15.5.
Sorry - and thanks!
