I did not study the issue yet, but I suspect it is a Bochs BIOS issue (I
remember it declares a limited number of PCI slots for example).
IMHO, all the PCI, MP table and ACPI table init should be moved to the
Bochs BIOS. I did not do it because it was not strictly necessary to
have something that works. A simple way to do that is to copy the
relevant QEMU code in a separate section of the Bochs BIOS and to
execute it by switching temporarily to 32 bit protected mode in the BIOS
init code.
Fabrice.
