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 Regards, Drahflow -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.8-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) -- no debconf information
