Package: qemu Version: 2.1+dfsg-5 Followup-For: Bug #765075 On 13/10/14 16:28, Michael Tokarev wrote: > So, what do you suggest to do?
I attached a simple patch to the original bug report when I filed it, which added a note to the docs (ends up in --help output and man page too I think). https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=qemu-21-debian-slic-documentation.patch;att=1;bug=765075 Might be good to stick something in README.Debian or similar too? e.g. I was going to suggest this: { Debian carries a patch (currently not upstream) which modifies the behaviour of the --acpitable argument when qemu is provided with an ACPI SLIC table: the oem_id field of the system descriptor table is updated to match the contents of the oem_id field in the supplied SLIC table. To specify this on all qemu invocations (e.g. including those launched by wrapper binaries and scripts etc.), you can add this to /etc/qemu/target-x86_64.conf : [acpi] file = "/usr/local/share/bios/sys-firmware-acpi-tables-SLIC" } ... but for some reason this acpi section (which I generated using qemu -writeconfig) seems to be ignored (upstream bug I think)? So how about this instead: { Debian carries a patch (currently not upstream) which modifies the behaviour of the --acpitable argument when qemu is provided with an ACPI SLIC table: the oem_id field of the system descriptor table is updated to match the contents of the oem_id field in the supplied SLIC table. To specify this on all qemu invocations (e.g. including those launched by scripts and tools such as libvirt), you could use a wrapper script like the one described here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Technical_Notes/virt.html ... to always pass in the following to qemu: -acpitable file=/usr/local/share/bios/sys-firmware-acpi-tables-SLIC } Cheers, Tim. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
