Package: seabios Version: 1.7.0-1 Severity: wishlist
Please enable Xen support in seabios. It will be used by the next Xen release and maybe the version in Wheezy.
Do you know what's the outcome of this? As far as I remember, it is just a config option, but it is not enabled by default, do you know why?
I seem to have made it "default n" but I don't recall why. Possibly I just didn't realise that people would be building a single SeaBIOS for multiple uses -- I expected that folks would build one tailored to their specific usecase. Or maybe it's just a hangover from my being used to Linux's policy of defaulting things like this to off...
I also don't recall why.
Kevin, can you comment please?
I looked, and it seems harmless to turn it on by default.
This seems pretty simple. See below (builds, but doesn't boot on Xen due to pre-existing problem which I need to investigate)
