RHEL 6.3? I'm *not* seeing this bug with recent qemu versions. > This does not tell us why disabling kvm (with this patch applied!) > makes a difference.

Before the patch, if KVM is enabled then the i440fx_update_memory_mappings() function just bails out without doing anything. As the commit message describes, it fails to remap the 0xf0000 memory from ROM to RAM, so subsequent writes to the F-segment actually modify the *ROM* content instead of the RAM copy as they should. (KVM doesn't write-protect the ROM). So on reset, it ends up running the *modified* copy of the BIOS. That's an *exact* description of what Laszlo was seeing, surely? -- dwmw2
