Re: [Qemu-devel] Bios Bug?

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.
