try the latest qemu in the SerialICE tree

svn://serialice.com/serialice/trunk/qemu-0.11.0

It's already patched, and it has been updated more recently than the patch.

Sounds like SerialICE is depending on some initialization from the
vendor BIOS. I guess an ugly way to test it would be to copy the
working configuration bits from lspci and hard code them into
SerialICE until you find what's wrong.

Like this ? E.g. this is what I found for ICH5's LPC_EN, offset address 0xe6:

00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Interface Bridge [8086:24d0] (rev 02):
// snip
e0: 00 00 00 80 00 00 08 14 33 22 11 00 00 00 67 45

pci_write_config16(PCI_ADDR(0, 0x1f, 0, 0xe6), 0x1408);

Attached the mainboard code as well.

Thanks,
Myles
