The ValidateFvHeader() function checks several conditions against the
firmware volume header. Failure of the first of these checks, reported as
"No Firmware Volume header present", is a common situation for unformatted
flash images, especially when a new virtual machine is created.
Similarly, "Variable Store Guid non-compatible" is common when the
firmware binary is switched from Secure Boot-incapable to Secure
Boot-capable, or vice versa.
The only caller of ValidateFvHeader(), NorFlashFvbInitialize(), handles
all these mismatches by installing a new FVB header. It also emits
another, loud ERROR message (which is even less justified when it is
triggered by (BootMode == BOOT_WITH_DEFAULT_SETTINGS)).
Downgrade these messages from EFI_D_ERROR to EFI_D_INFO, so that they
don't clutter the debug output when the PcdDebugPrintErrorLevel mask only
enables EFI_D_ERROR (i.e., in a "silent" build).
These messages have annoyed / confused users; see for example:
