[kvm-devel] Problems with vmwarevga and graphical syslinux menus

2008-03-12 Thread Jeremy Katz
The changes so that the vmwarevga code respects the E820 region runs afoul of the fact that the VBE bios used has a hard-coded base address for vesa modes. Thus when syslinux uses VBE to do its graphical bits, the lfb address doesn't match what the bios thinks it is :-/ Test case is any Fedora

When using kvm on my laptop, I get the following oops if I try using kvm after a suspend (ACPI S3)/resume cycle. At first I thought it went away if I unloaded the module before suspending and then reloading it afterwards, but I can't reproduce that working now, so I might have just been
