[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBIOS and VMWare

[Lu, Yinghai]

Is the VGA device treated as add on card or onboard device in your HW
model?

 

In first case, the VGA BIOS is supposed to be loaded by HW model. Such
as qemu-i386, or xen start ...

Hi Lu,

I have changed the config as suggested, didn't realise that the PCI id's
had to be in numerical order.  Different result with VMWare now, it
reports a triple fault within the VMWare log, but that it as much as I
can get from it, still no serial output when VGA is on 

Regards,
Joe
