Is there anything of interest in /var/log/xen/*seabios* or "xl dmesg"? Could you post the output of "xl -vvv create -c seabios.cfg" please.
Dario, have you ever run a domain with qemu-xen on a Fedora 18 box, it ought to work, right?
Connecting with vnc actually works. It's running Bochs rombios and powering off after 30 seconds. Was just trying to find the relevant goes on how to make my seabios.cfg make it use SeaBIOS when your mail arrived...
s/goes/docs/ wtf. Anyway you'd already pointed me at xl.cfg(5). Which says that seabios ought to have been the default if device_model_version=qemu-xen. (Although you said to use 'device_model_version_override'...)
And when I set it explicitly it doesn't work...
