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
Added qemu-devel and debian maintainers to cc for this regression about upstream qemu. If you need more details and tests tell me and I'll do/post them.
As a superficial guess, this could be fixed by the seabios-1.7.3.1 release:

Thanks for reply, i did fast test adding this patch that you linked: http://code.coreboot.org/p/seabios/source/commit/2a9aeabdfb34374ecac25e7a8d2...
Same result, the problem remains, should I test full seabios 1.7.3.1?
No idea, it was just a random shot, sorry... You're probably down to bisecting qemu :(

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.
