Hello Dmitry, Is PVSCSI also ready to boot through BIOS Int 13h? If not, do you plan a SEABIOS patch? Thnx. Ciao, Gerhard On 15.03.2012 10:02, Dmitry Fleytman wrote: Below is the implementation of VMWare PVSCSI device and command line parameters to configure vendor name and product name for

Hi, Currently there is no support in seabios to boot pvscsi. What we did was a workaround. We've reverted the patch which removes extboot support [2a06024dc1b1e27b1be0266379af397e61b4a9ad] and used -drive ...boot=on --option-rom extboot.bin to boot the pvscsi disk. Best Regards, Evgeny On Sun,

Below is the implementation of VMWare PVSCSI device and command line parameters to configure vendor name and product name for SCSI storage are implemented. Latter is needed to make PVSCSI storage devices look exactly as on VMWare hypervisors. With this and VMWARE3 patches V2V migration problem
