Hi,

after upgrading from qemu-kvm-0.12.0-rc2 to qemu-kvm-0.12.1 I cannot
start my Windows 7 (64Bit) VM any more. I get the following error on
start-up:

rom: requested regions overlap (rom vapic.bin. free=0x0000000000000600,
addr=0x0000000000000000)
rom loading failed

I used to run it with this command line:

qemu-system-x86_64 -k de -enable-kvm -usb -drive
file=/home/ingmar/kvm/windows7.qcow2,if=ide,boot=on,cache=none -net
nic,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:28:26,vlan=1,model=e1000 -net
tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup,vlan=1 -m 1024 -vnc :3 -boot c

Any idea what is wrong here? It worked fine with all previous qemu-kvm
versions.

Thanks and regards,

Ingmar
