I haven't seen any other reports of issues like this with Win7. I
suspect something else is going on. Please provide the full debug log
(as described at: http://seabios.org/Debugging ) with an unmodified
seabios from both a succesful boot event and a failed boot event.

I just can' boot succesfully if I use unmodified seabios (vm using 8 GB memory).I will try again.
The attachment is the output of seabios when booting failed.
