seabios bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated seabios package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The seabios package contains an open-source legacy BIOS implementation which can
be used as a coreboot payload. It implements the standard BIOS calling
interfaces that a typical x86 proprietary BIOS implements.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the smp_mtrr array was not large enough to hold all 31 entries of
model-specific registers (MSRs) with current qemu-kvm implementations. As a
consequence, installation of a Windows Server 2008 32-bit guest failed when more
than one virtual CPU was allocated. With this update, the size of the smp_mtrr
array has been increased to 32, and now Windows Server 2008 guests install
successfully in the described scenario. (BZ#740185)
All users of seabios are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
