Hi, thanks for the explanation. bios-256k.bin is the only non-symlinked blob on Gentoo. All other blobs of vgabios, sgabios and seabios are symlinked.
I switched to libvirt and kernel-4.8.13 in the meantime and have issues with getting hugepages and emulated sound devices to work (in a non-crackling way), but I’d rather put those to libvirt-users and qemu-discussion. Thank you again. Best regards, Manuel > Hi, > >> confusing though, that removing the -bios option fixed it.
