bios.diff is actually the difference between the bochs bios sources at some random point in time and the sources Fabrice used to generate bios.bin for qemu-0.9.0. It is not a kvm thing. I don't know the reason for this particular difference; presumably compatibility with something. You can try asking on qemu-devel, or you can try downloading the bochs bios (preferably from around the time Fabrice pulled it) and backing out this change. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
