New issue:
- domU not start with qemu 1.5.1 and more that 2 gb of ram: tested on w7 64 bit domU with 4 gb of ram, with built-in qemu 1.3 it
works, while with qemu 1.5.1 doesn't (stops at the beginning, spice client show only the lines of seabios version and machine UUID; qemu log show nothing more that 2 gb test), while with 2 gb of ram works also with qemu 1.5.1
[...]
I did another test disabling the usb controller: it didn't find any bootable disk and tried to boot with pxe. I also tried F12 and it reported an hard-disk size of 0 MB. Configuration is correct because if I change the ram size to 2 GB instead of 4, it starts correctly. No additional information from qemu log. I tried also seabios 1.7.2.2 and master from git, both with same result.
It's not clear to me if this is a QEMU issue or SeaBIOS issue. Can you arrange to run qemu with the following added to the command line:
-chardev stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios
and post the full log from a successful (2G) boot as well as the unsuccessful (4G) boot?
