I prefer the BIOS method as well. If we pick up anything before QEMU does, we should pull in that one. It looks like it was committed[1] to BOCH cvs on Jan 21st. I'll pull the BIOS and test that it works with QEMU cvs/KVM and see if we can get QEMU to pull in a new BIOS build and the QEMU changes to support DMI. 1. http://bochs.cvs.sourceforge.net/bochs/bochs/bios/rombios32.c?revision=1.20&view=markup -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx (512) 838-9253 T/L: 678-9253 ryanh@us.ibm.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
