[SeaBIOS] Re : Re : Re : [Qemu-devel] : Memory problem with Qemu/SeaBIOS

Both solutions work for my application !
Thanks a lot. I think I will use one of them, even if I know it's not really "clean".

Thanks again,

Alain

Just for kicks, I tried a simple hack to try and reserve more memory
in the c/d/e-segments, and it seems to work for the image you posted.
Run:

python -c 'import sys; sys.stdout.write("\x55\xaa\xc8\xcb\x6e" + "\x00"*(100*1024 - 5))' > dummy.rom

and then add "-option-rom dummy.rom" to your qemu command line.  (The
idea is to build a 100K dummy option rom that seabios will load and
mark as read-only memory.)
