Hi; this fails 'make check' on at least aarch64, aarch32, FreeBSD, NetBSD, s390:
ERROR:/home/linux1/qemu/tests/boot-sector.c:161:boot_sector_test: assertion failed (signature == SIGNATURE): (0x00000000 == 0x0000dead) ERROR - Bail out! ERROR:/home/linux1/qemu/tests/boot-sector.c:161:boot_sector_test: assertion failed (signature == SIGNATURE): (0x00000000 == 0x0000dead) PASS 9 bios-tables-test /x86_64/acpi/q35/bridge Aborted (core dumped) /home/linux1/qemu/tests/Makefile.include:916: recipe for target 'check-qtest-i386' failed make: *** [check-qtest-i386] Error 1
the x86-64 bootsector tests seem to fail similarly.
[ full quote for seabios list ]
Re-ran test on x86-64 box -> works. Tried on aarch64 machine -> fails.
Given the arch list above this pretty much looks like it is tcg-related, even though a quick check with "qemu -accel tcg -cdrom /some/live/iso" (on x86_64) doesn't show any obvious problems.
Recompiled seabios with gcc 4.8 instead of gcc 8 -> Works on both x86-64 and aarch64. -> I'll redo the pull request with that.
I'll go try find the root cause next week. On a quick glance this looks like a bug in tcg or gcc. In case anyone has hints what might have caused this drop me a note.
thanks, Gerd
