Hi,

Here comes the update pull for the just-released seabios 1.8.2.
It brings some small bugfixes and the vgabios for virtio-vga.

Also our builds are tagged in the version banner now, so it is
visible in the logs whenever one runs the prebuilt qemu binaries
or something else (distro builds for example).

please pull,
  Gerd

What's the diff. between stdvga, virtio and vmware vgabioses?
Is it just the PCI vendor/device IDs with the same code?
Maybe it'd be better to have just one bios but patch the
blob on load? With simple ROMs (without nested parts like
for the pxe efi/bios combined ROMs) it should be easy.

Thanks,

Yes.

"should be easy".  Famous last words ;)

Don't feel like experimenting with it with the freeze just around the
corner.  Also: why?  Disk space?  Save a few kb in the age of TB disks?

cheers,

I've applied this, but git submodule update now complains:

$ git submodule update
fatal: reference is not a tree: 33fbe13a3e2a01e0ba1087a8feed801a0451db21
Unable to checkout '33fbe13a3e2a01e0ba1087a8feed801a0451db21' in
submodule path 'roms/seabios'

I hope that's going to resolve itself when our seabios mirror updates?

(I thought I'd checked this wasn't going to happen before push,
but my test process was flawed.)

Stefan kindly did a manual refresh of the seabios mirror, so
it's all good now.

thanks
