Hi,
b44a7be17bdd270ea029a8e2ec0c2e80c6cd0444 virtio-scsi: Pack struct virtio_scsi_{req_cmd,resp_cmd} 5a7730db57ab0715223421e65b54fb50d6fefe5c virtio-scsi: Set _DRIVER_OK flag before scsi target scanning
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?
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.

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

It's just a few patches, so we can do it in -rc1 too.

This patch doesn't contain in seabios-1.7.2.1, it wasn't contained in latest bios.bin of qemu, it caused 'strict boot' doesn't work.
# qemu -boot strict=on
What can we do for this? push Kevin add this patch in stable branch and re-built bios.bin?

It's in the 1.7.2-stable branch meanwhile. 1.7.2.2 isn't tagged yet though. It's going slower than usual, seems Kevin is a bit busy with non-seabios things these days.
Once we have a release released I'll put updates into master and the stable-1.5 branch.
cheers, Gerd
