Description of problem: We have no easy way to get seabios logs atm. isa-debugcon will give use that.
patch posted.
Reproduce on on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6 as in this version there's no "isa-debugcon" device.

(Attachment will be upload.) Reboot guest, could collect the seabios log once more. Hi, Gerd (1)Could you help have a look at the logs in the bug attachment, is it the expected result? (2)I boot guest with and without "-device sga", the log looks very similar. SGABIOS information is not included in the output. Is this expected? Thanks~
Created attachment 562410 [details] seabios log with "-device sga"
Created attachment 562411 [details] seabios log without "-device sga"
(In reply to comment #9) > Logs have the expected content. OK, thanks Gerd. Then I will change the status to VERIFIED based on Comment 5 and Comment 9.
