cjwatson> any binary blobs, yes (need to be pruned or source provided). * bios.bin we can get from seabios (although there are known bugs with the version of seabios present in Lucid, but not in the upstream version of bios.bin) * vgabios we can get from vgabios (although there are known bugs with the version of seabios present in Lucid, but not in the upstream version of vgabios) * PXE roms we should get from kvm-pxe * OpenBIOS comes from openbios.org, which is GPLv2, but not packaged for Ubuntu, see Bug #183495 * video.x comes from maconlinux.org, which is GPLv2, but not packaged for Ubuntu
So ideally, we need to: a) depend on seabios b) depend on vgabios c) package openbios, and depend on openbios d) package mol, and depend on mol Packaging openbios and mol may not be reasonable for Lucid. We have been discouraged by upstream QEMU to build/run different versions of any of these ROMs from what's shipped in the upstream tarball, as those versions are the ones that are known to work well. -- BIOS shipped as binary blobs without source https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541524 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
