The thing is that roms/seabios directory is _empty_ in qemu-KVM-0.12.3.tar.gz. So I can't use the sources you (the qemu-kvm team anyway) ship because there's no shipped sources, so I have to try to be clever and find a way to deal with the issue. But now when you mentioned it and I _finally_ found the bios source in qemu-0.12.3, maybe I'll be even more clever and will patch qemu-kvm with bits missing in it from qemu-0.12.3. Ugly but at least doable. >> BTW, is there any reason preventing updating vgabios >> to 0.6c version - the latest released one? > > There's no compelling improvement in 0.6c and updating vgabios is not > something I'm eager to do unless there's a strong justification. Maybe wider testing in debian and/or ubuntu is a good justification? :) Thanks! /mjt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
