SeaBIOS using a config derived from xen/tools/firmware/seabios-config (which is the 1.6.x based config we use) works for me while a config from "make defconfig" does not. I will investigate further.
CONFIG_USE_SMM is the culprit.
Xen doesn't support SMM mode for HVM guests. Seems like the best option at this point is to disable SMM if usingXen().
I'll also include this in the series I'm about to send out.
So, what's the bottom line of all this discussion? Please excuse me but I don't understand what it is all about... And it looks like with at least stock 1.7 version of seabios it isn't a good idea to make universal image (with xen support included), right?
Bastian, what do you think, is it okay to build a separate image for xen for now?
Thanks,
