Sorry for the extra traffic I am generating here, but my report
concerning vgabios package is erroneus. The problem I desribed is
not related to vgabios at all, but to bochsbios package instead.

I did some testing and found that loadvm problem depends on _PC_ bios
version used when VM state was _saved_ (that fact made me report a false
positive about vgabios 0.5d-1 since I used old VM state image).

Results table:

package version                    | rombios.c rev# | status
-----------------------------------+----------------+---------------
bochsbios 2.1.1+20041109-3         |  1.121         | works, no APM
bios.bin from qemu 0.7.8 upstream  |  1.130         | works
bios.bin from qemu 0.8.0 upstream  |  1.130         | works
bochsbios 2.2.5-1                  |  1.158         | doesn't work

Revision numbers come from the hexdump'ed binary bios images.

There are quite a bit of changes between revision 1.130 of rombios.c,
the version of bios.bin qemu author chosen to distribute, and 1.158, the
version from the latest release of Bochs:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/bochs/bochs/bios/rombios.c?r1=1.158&r2=1.130

Could this be a reason for display corruption? Anyway I think someone more
confident with the subject should make such decision.
