The 1.7.3 version of SeaBIOS has now been released. For more information on the release, please see:
New in this release:
- Initial support for using SeaBIOS as a UEFI Compatibility Support Module (CSM)
- Support for detecting and using ACPI reboot ports.
- By default, all 16bit entry points now use an internal stack to reduce stack footprint.
- Floppy controller code has been rewritten to improve compatibility. Non-standard floppy sizes now work again with recent QEMU versions.
- Several bug fixes and code cleanups
Just gave it a spin, breaks booting a Windows 7 VM for me. Using qemu-1.4.2 from Fedora 19 as well as qemu.git.
