Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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

Comment 4 Paolo Bonzini 2014-01-22 13:51:29 UTC 
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.
