Win8 with enabled UEFI support (64bit) does not start in UVMM-KVM since by default there is no UEFI support in qemu/kvm.

For UEFI-Support:
 ucr set repository/online/unmaintained='yes'
 univention-install ovmf
 virsh edit "${VM}"
 <domain>...
   <os>...
     <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd</loader>
     <!--
     <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>
     <nvram template='/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd'>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/${VM}_VARS.fd</nvram>
     -->
   ...</os>
 ..</domain>
  cp /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/$VM_VARS.fd

1. We should add support for that to UVMM
2. We should update our version of OVMF as it's quiet old (CODE not separated from VARS)
3. ...

UVMM and virtualization with UCS is deprecated and will no longer be developed in UCS 4.4; they have already been removed from UCS 5.0.
