So.. the difference is vgabios only, not seabios (vgabios-stdvga in this case).
And I can't get it to work with debugging vgabios, it always fails even with DEBUG_LEVEL=2 (and level-1 logging isn't useful).
I was able to capture logs just for the non-working version, so there's nothing to compare it against. So I tried a different machine type in qemu, the one which works, which uses SMBIOS 3.0 (q35-8.2).
Hi,
Windows apparently doesn't read SMBIOS 3.0 tables: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2008#note_1712210029
Not sure if this is relevant for your issue and it only "works" because of that with newer machine models. But it seems worth mentioning.
