Anthony + Gerd, can we expect an rev to pc-bios/bios.bin soon to pick up these seabios changes for vhost-scsi..?
I don't feel like placing a seabios git snapshot into qemu.
I think we should just cherry-pick everything we need for qemu 1.5 into the 1.7.2-stable branch, roll out a 1.7.2.2 release and put that into qemu 1.5.
So, what will be needed?
(1) The two commits listed above. (2) The patch for the pvpanic device (assuming it gets merged for 1.5).
Anything else?
Hi Gerd,
This bug fix is needed:
| commit 11a7234491cb2a027b0fa5e82af38a3e78b44c80 | Author: Kevin O'Connor kevin@koconnor.net | Date: Tue Mar 5 17:52:21 2013 +0800 | | Cache boot-fail-wait to avoid romfile access after POST. | | Memory allocated with malloc_tmp() can't be used after the POST phase. | So, access boot-fail-wait in post phase and store it for the boot | phase to use. This fixes the regression introduced by commit | 59d6ca52.
Hard freeze for qemu 1.5 is next Wednesday.
cheers, Gerd
PS: For qemu 1.6 (which will hopefully include the acpi table reorganization) we will need a new release from the master branch and thus a bit more careful release planning.
