Bug 1242968

Fix included in seabios-1.7.5-11.el7

Hi Marcel,

about this bug fix, I got a couple of questions, could you please help me by explain:

1) 1202f03583 (bootorder: Update "extra pci root" buses bootorder format to match qemu)

do you mean the change introcuded by this qemu commit ?
67d1a97 hw/pci-bridge: format special OFW unit address for PXB host

if true, then this bug fix should use qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-11.el7 to test, right ?


2) since this is a guest visible change(as stated on C#0), does the compatibility from 7.1 kept ? in another word:
on updated seabios(seabios-1.7.5-11.el7) + updated qemu(qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-11.el7) with -M 7.1.0, would it behave identical to qemu-kvm-rhev-7.1GA+seabios-7.1GA ?


3) could you please provide a test scenario and expected result ?


Thanks,
Xiaoqing.

Yes, it should.

Sure,
1. Add a PXB device to QEMU (see docs/docs/pci_expander_bridge.txt).
2. Add a NIC to PXB's bus, say e1000.
3. Try to boot from this NIC using PXE, and see for example you can use PXE to install an OS (One of the main reasons we are doing this)


Thanks,
Marcel

use cli as below, and pxe to install a rhel 6.7

then boot from drive(with pxe installed rhel 6.7) and lspci,

all functional.
