Hi Gerd, This bug fix is needed: | commit 11a7234491cb2a027b0fa5e82af38a3e78b44c80 | Author: Kevin O'Connor | Date: Tue Mar 5 17:52:21 2013 +0800 | | Cache boot-fail-wait to avoid romfile access after POST. | | Memory allocated with malloc_tmp() can't be used after the POST phase. | So, access boot-fail-wait in post phase and store it for the boot | phase to use. This fixes the regression introduced by commit | 59d6ca52. > Hard freeze for qemu 1.5 is next Wednesday. > > cheers, > Gerd > > PS: For qemu 1.6 (which will hopefully include the acpi table > reorganization) we will need a new release from the master > branch and thus a bit more careful release planning. > -- Amos.
