Well, this patch introduces 3 command line parameters (“lcyls”, “lheads”, “lsecs”) to “scsi-hd” “ide-hd” and “virtio-pci-blk” so this somehow has something to do with block. This patch also adds fw_cfg interface to send these parameters to SeaBIOS. "scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/nvram/fw_cfg.

[Qemu-devel] [QEMU] [PATCH v5 0/8] Add Qemu to SeaBIOS LCHS interface

2019-06-26 Thread Sam Eiderman
v1: Non-standard logical geometries break under QEMU. A virtual disk which contains an operating system which depends on logical geometries (consistent values being reported from BIOS INT13 AH=08) will most likely break under QEMU/SeaBIOS if it has non-standard logical geometries - for example 56
