Dear Maintainer,
Hi when looking at the source of the last seabios debian package I have seen
this line:
$(call build-bios,bios,QEMU=y ROM_SIZE=128 PVSCSI=n USB_XHCI=n
USB_UAS=n XEN=n)
But the comment just before say XEN should be enable:
# A (somewhat) stripped-down version of bios, to fit in 128Kb
# If the bios is larger, we have issues with guest migration, and older xen
# (before 4.3.1) does not work as it only supports bios of size 128Kb.
# Upstream qemu builds smaller bios without XCHI (usb3) and XEN,
# but we need XEN support so we disable usb3 (implenented since 1.7.4)
# and another recent but rather small feature, pvscsi. We're very close
# to the available size, and the size also depends on compiler and options.
# Qemu past 1.7 version will load bios-256k.bin by default (for new machine
# types), but the size is still a concern when specifying older machine
# types (1.7 and before).
I don't know if it's an issue but the documentation is confusing.
Thanks a lot for your hard work
