It should just work. qemu passes ram regions to the firmware using fw_cfg (etc/e820) these days, and both seabios and ovmf support this for years already. > So the question become why the change is not upstream yet? > Was it maybe discussed in the past and Nack'ed for some reason? Exactly. RHEL/CentOS 6 implemented the extra cmos byte, but this was not accepted upstream in favor of the more flexible e820 solution. RHEL/CentOS 7 supports both etc/e820 (upstream) and cmos (el6), but the later is only there for backward compatibility reasons. cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
