* [Qemu-devel] Bios Bug?

After much searching I believe I have found a problem with the bochs
bios in cvs. I found that I was not able to boot the fedora core 5 or 4
or 3 rescue cds or the Fedora 4 image from free.oszoo.org. Fedora core 2
booted correctly as well as Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I tried the
build with and without kqemu support and changed from gcc3.2 to gcc3.4
to no change. I then copied the bios from 0.8.0 and now all boots
correctly. My host system is Fedora 4 on X86_64. Is/has anyone else seen
this problem? I would like to continue searching for the problem in the
bios that I can be of assistance to the list/project. But I am unable to
find the tools necessary to build the bochs bios.

CPU hang details:

The boot process would always hang when probing the ide controller for
an irq for hda.

Any comments suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Fabrice and all thank you for the great project and keep up the
wonderful work.

Ed,

You should also note that I have not been able to use the new
-kernel-kqemu option with the old bios. The bios in cvs was specifically
patched for the new kqemu support from my understanding so that is
expected. Just a quick heads.

Thanks,
Ben

Yes, I just ran into the same problem with the bios.bin from the
2006-04-27_23 CVS snapshot. Thanks for tracking it down--you probably
saved me hours!

I was able to boot after reverting to the bios.bin from the
2006-03-27_23 snapshot. So the problem must have been introduced
within the past month.
