Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 0.15.1
Severity: normal
This bug is related to the four packages qemu, qemu-kvm, seabios and
libvirt.
Since libvirt-0.9.3 the "bootindex" Option of qemu / qemu-kvm is
supported. libvirt used the following command to detect the
availability of bootindex:
kvm "-device" "pci-assign,?" 2>&1 | grep bootindex
When libvirt detects a version of qemu with announces this
option, it drops the usage of "-boot [abcd]" and uses the "-device
...,bootindex=[1-9]" option instead. This break specifying the boot
device when using qemu-version >= 0.14.
This only works with the SeaBIOS-version shipped with qemu itself (for
qemu-0.15.1 this is SeaBIOS-0.6.3 as far as I know), since qemu passes
an "bootorder" file to the BIOS, which is then not processed by the old
version of SeaBIOS. SeaBIOS-git also works.
A new version of SeaBIOS would probably be the best solution, since
stripping the SeaBIOS binary from qemu is required for DFSG cleanliness.
Qemu (and thus libvirt) does not have a method to detect if the bios.bin
binary file contains support for bootindex.

Description:
kvm - dummy transitional package from kvm to qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm - Full virtualization on x86 hardware
qemu-kvm-dbg - Debugging info for qemu-kvm
Closes: 624070 648853
Changes:
qemu-kvm (1.0+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low
.
* new upstream release (1.0) (Closes: #624070)
* removed obsolete patches, refreshed old patches
* --disable-smartcard-nss && --disable-smartcard - the
linkage requiriments (nspr) is too heavy and the link/library
needs some work still (linking to too many unused libs)
* require seabios >>1.6.3 (Closes: #648853)
