Package: seabios
Version: 1.8.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I tried install FreeBSD 10.1 into a qemu-system-x86_64 container.
But the installer kernel crashes, the stacktrace shows get_typematic
as a likely culprit. Google says, the same symptoms pop up from time
to time and might be related to non-optimal toolchains while building
seabios.
Lo and behold, grabbing a seabios binary directly from coreboot
(and supplying it to qemu) solved the issue.
% dpkg -l qemu
ii qemu 1:2.3+dfsg-6 amd64 fast processor emulator
% dpkg -l seabios
ii seabios 1.8.2-1 all Legacy BIOS implementation
Steps to reproduce:
wget
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/10.1/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso.xz
xz -d /FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso.xz
qemu-system-x86_64 -boot order=dc -m 1G -vga std -cpu core2duo \
-drive file=hda,if=ide,media=disk \
-net user,restrict=off -net nic -cdrom FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
Steps to fix:
wget http://code.coreboot.org/p/seabios/downloads/get/bios.bin-1.8.0.gz
gunzip bios.bin-1.8.0.gz
qemu-system-x86_64 -boot order=dc -m 1G -vga std -cpu core2duo \
-bios bios.bin-1.8.0 \ # <----- HERE
-drive file=hda,if=ide,media=disk \
-net user,restrict=off -net nic -cdrom FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

I can confirm the old install crashes with seabios 1.8.2-1
and boots correctly after installing seabios 1.14.0-2
So it seems that the issue ceased to be relevant.
So let's FINALLY close this issue, after 3 more years ;)
Thanks,
