Some of the recent changes to smbios that look like possible culprits are: Make SMBIOS table pass MS SVVP test Use MaxCountCPUs during building of per cpu tables. Add malloc_high/fseg() and rework bios table creation to use them. There were other changes, but the comments indicate they were only ports of changes already in bochs. I suppose it's also possible the lack of smbios is turning off some other feature in the guest (eg, acpi) that's the real culprit. -Kevin

[PATCH] support piix PAM registers in KVM
by Gleb Natapov 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Without this BIOS fails to remap 0xf0000 memory from ROM to RAM so writes to F-segment modify ROM content instead of memory copy. Since QEMU does not reloads ROMs during reset on next boot modified copy of BIOS is used.

Hi, http://www.seabios.org/pipermail/seabios/2010-March/000396.html Could anyone explain what the difficulty with OHCI bulk in 16-bit mode is before I spend a few hours discovering for myself? Jonathan Kollasch

[PATCH] Allow rom to grow to 256K.

Enable rom size to be over 128K. Apparently, only the first 128K of the rom are mirrored to the 0xc0000-0xfffff area under qemu, so make sure to copy the rom (via make_bios_writable) in the non-init part of the startup code.

[PATCH 00/11] Relocate init code to high memory
by Kevin O'Connor 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

This patch series enables SeaBIOS to relocate itself out of the e-segment, which enables that space to be used by optionroms. Before this patch series, SeaBIOS would typically use about half of the e-segment. A full debugging build could use nearly all of the e-segment. With this series, SeaBIOS shouldn't need anything beyond the standard f-segment. Future features can likely be added without fear of limiting optionroms. To support relocation, the build determines which parts of the 32bit code is one-time initialization code. It separates that out and stores relocation information for it. The run-time code can then copy the initialization code to high memory and run it at that location. The one-time init code could be called again on a soft-reboot, but SeaBIOS now detects this case and attempts a hard-reboot. Unfortunately, both qemu and kvm don't appear to have a reliable way to hard-reboot - normal reboots don't reset the 0xc0000-0xfffff memory. I've worked around this on qemu by manually resetting that memory. However, kvm doesn't keep a pristine copy of the bios at 0xffff0000. Until this is fixed, this patch series will cause a soft-reboot on kvm to result in a shutdown instead of a reboot. Some details on the patches: Patches 1-4 enhance the build scripts. Patches 5-7 handle soft-reboots. Patches 8-11 enhance the runtime to support relocation. -Kevin Kevin O'Connor (11): Use str.startswith() in python scripts. Modify tools/layoutrom.py to use classes instead of tuples. Separate out init code from the rest of the 32bit flat code. Enhance build to emit relocation information. Try to hard-reboot processor on rerun of post under coreboot. Don't do shadow copying of optionroms when CONFIG_OPTIONROMS_DEPLOYED. Try to hard-reboot on rerun of post even on emulators. Add memalign_tmp() helper function. Move init code from _start() to post(). Move the 32bit init code to high memory at runtime. Enable optionroms to use freed space due to CONFIG_RELOCATE_INIT.
