I did a git bisect to find the commit fixing the issue. Then, as I was not believing the result, I tried the following sequence a dozen of times (for some unknown reasons the FreeBSD install CD doesn't exhibit the issue, so I used the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD installer): | mkdir qemu-freebsd-bug | cd qemu-freebsd-bug | | wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-kfreebsd-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | | git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git | cd qemu | git checkout -b stable-1.4 v1.4.0 | ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu | make | cd .. | | git clone git://git.seabios.org/seabios.git | cd seabios | git checkout -b 1.7.2-stable origin/1.7.2-stable | git reset --hard 4219149ad2b783abfa61e80e9e9f6910db0c76c9 | make | cp out/bios.bin ../qemu/pc-bios | cd.. | | # debian-installer boots correctly | ./qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cdrom mini.iso | | cd seabios | git reset --hard d75c22fcb6521dad11428b65789d92f89675c600 | git clean -fdx | make | cp out/bios.bin ../qemu/pc-bios | cd .. | | # debian-installer fails to boot | ./qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cdrom mini.iso Maybe I am doing something wrong or there is a bug in my toolchain (Debian Sid). It would be nice if someone could try to reproduce that on another distro/system. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
