There, the firmware is seabios from fedora, patched. In Debian we use the same seabios as qemu ships. > The problem I'm facing is that my VMs that used -nodefaults -nographic > -device isa-serial,chardev=char0 -chardev pty,id=char0 (or -display > none instead of -nographic which I believe results in the same > topology anyway) no longer boot.

You need to provide ways to reproduce this. Much more details are needed, like, for the start, kvm command line, and what exactly your guest is. Come on, ALL bugs reported against 1.1 version in debian were without any information. This is just ridiculous. I'm about to start closing such bugreports without looking further... :( Marking as unreproducible for now. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
