[PATCH] tools/kconfig/{m,n}conf.c: Fix typo »This interface let*s*«
by Paul Menzel 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 12:56:56 +0100 When Kconfig was introduced in SeaBIOS with commit a4c5daf0e2545361fadcad3015e10f8b23e53926 Author: Kevin O'Connor <kevin(a)koconnor.net> Date: Mon Jan 24 22:13:58 2011 -0500 Initial commit of Kconfig build tool. this typo was copied from Kconfig in Linux v2.6.38-rc2. In the meantime Linux commit »kconfig: nconf: rewrite help texts« (0b616500) [1] rewrote the texts for `nconf.c` – which might be ported too to SeaBIOS – and the typo was fixed there. But it is still present in `mconf.c` as of Linux 3.8.

[PATCH v2 0/5] seabios: load acpi tables from qemu
by Michael S. Tsirkin 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

This is the seabios code that adds support for loading acpi tables from QEMU: it's working fine here and in fact, I am able to get exactly same tables with builtin tables and with tables coming from qemu. Changes from v1: - simplified linker interfaces along the lines suggested by Kevin - fixed lots of bugs Michael S.

[PATCH] acpi: hide 64-bit PCI hole for Windows XP

[PATCH v4] apm: fix shutdown
by Gerd Hoffmann 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Qemu commit 9ee59f3 removed the bochs bios apm interface emulation at port 0x8900. That broke poweroff via APM. Fix it by powering off the machine using the acpi pm control register. Old code is left in, so seabios wil try both poweroff methods. Cleaning that eventually up is left for another patch, after checking it isn't needed. Qemu never implemented "Standby" and "Suspend", only "Shutdown", so it looks like there might be non-qemu use cases (bochs probably). Easiest way to test this is the syslinux poweroff module; modern linux distros usually have CONFIG_APM turned off.

[PATCH v4 0/2] pci: load memory window setup from host
by Michael S. Tsirkin 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

This is a refactoring of patch PATCH v2: pci: load memory window setup from host. Please note qemu merged the required interface already. Please review, and consider for release. Changes from v3: - fix bug causing windows to crash - better debug output (when enabled) Changes from v2: - address comments by Kevin: avoid dynamic memory allocation refactor code to avoid special-casing loaded windows - split out to two patch series Changes from v1: - fix bug in 64 bit range check - address Kevin's comments: move file load into pciinit.c dont reorder initialization sizeof style fix Michael S.

Open Firmware path on boot selection screen.
by Weinz Christian 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Hello, I suggest adding the Open Firmware paths for devices SeaBIOS can boot from (example: /pci@i0cf8/usb@12,2/usb-*@4) to the boot selection screen. I needed to buy a serial adapter and a null modem just to get that string. That string is important since you cannot modify the default boot sequence without it. Best Regards, Christian Weinz

vgabios: more x86emu issues
by Gerd Hoffmann 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Hi, We already have tools/vgafixup.py to workaround some x86emu issues. Looks like some more is needed, reportly[1] there are more xorg segfaults which look alot like x86emu isses. They trigger with stdvga and qxl (which are handled using the vesa driver), and they only happen on x86_64 where vm86 mode can not be used to run the vgabios. Guest in question is RHEL-5 / centos-5. Xorg version is 1.1.1 Some people digged deep into the x86emu changelogs when this showed up for the first time. Anyone remembers the details? Are there known x86emu bugs where we don't have workarounds for? cheers, Gerd [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=987097
