I tried some 256K coreboot BIOS images and seemed to work fine, but it blowed up with a 3MB image (which by the way works on qemu just fine).=20 Qemu also seems to fail with images greater than 4MB, and I'd appreciate if either kvm or qemu had support for such images, and maybe even greater than that if technically possible. You can get such images from http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU The 3MB one that I tried can be fetched from http://panzer.utcluj.ro/~alien/coreboot/AVATT/BIOS/OpenVZ/bios.bin Thanks! Cristi --=20 Ing.
