[Qemu-devel] lsi scsi driver is broken

The lsi driver simply hangs at startup. Try the following to reproduce:

# ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -device lsi

The monitor is blocked, and VM shows black screen.

But it works perfectly when I use 'megasas' instead of 'lsi'.

And ideas?

Try latest seabios.

[ yes, /me plans to update seabios for 1.3, just waiting for the q35
  patches to find their way into seabios ].

Seems the http://www.seabios.org/ server is offline.

There is a tree @ git://git.kraxel.org/seabios

git.qemu.org has one too, not sure how recent that one is though, git
mirroring used to be broken now and then in the past.

(latest means "git master", most recent release isn't new enougth).

cheers,
  Gerd

OK, latest bios fixes the problem - thanks!

If we're going to update, it's got to be today.

Can we also update the openbios.git repository on git.qemu.org? If this 
is the version of OpenBIOS that gets distributed with a QEMU release (as 
a git submodule) then it's definitely shy of quite a few SVN commits.

Ok, update send without q35.
