Comment 3 langfang 2014-01-22 13:28:41 UTC

Hi, Paolo
   There are 3 bugs for different component(bug 1038630(ipxe),bug 1038603(seabios),bug 1038603(qemu-kvm).As you said,for this bug "This is important if we want to support UEFI on RHEL/KVM". I have two prolbems
   1)Using the fixed qemu-kvm and seabios version,what's the differents between 
fixed version(for this bug) and not fixed version(for this bug)?
   2)how can i check the  "256k " file  for ipxe.



thanks 

fanglang

There is no difference.  It's just a preparation for future changes.

To test it, check that the files installed in /usr/share/ipxe are 256k in size.
