xen-tools-4.4.0-r4 requires seabios-1.7.4 for all non-arm archetectures. xen-tools-4.4.0-r4[system-qemu] requires qemu, which requires seabios-1.7.3.2 I suspect qemu just needs to be tested with seabios-1.7.4 and have it's dep bumped to >=1.7.3.2. Emerge --info in additional information. Probably not relevant though.

Hmmm, part of my original message seems to be missing: sys-firmware/seabios:0 (sys-firmware/seabios-1.7.3.2:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by ~sys-firmware/seabios-1.7.3.2 required by (app-emulation/qemu-2.0.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^^^^^^^ (sys-firmware/seabios-1.7.4:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by >=sys-firmware/seabios-1.7.4 required by (app-emulation/xen-tools-4.4.0-r4:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) ^^ ^^^^^
On bug bug #510492, one of user report xen hvm doesn't work with seabios-1.7.3.2, but works fine with 1.7.4, so I rev-bumped xen-tools, force it depend on >=seabios-1.7.4. but, I realized I response too quick to that issue, xen upstream are still sticking to 1.7.3.1 as I checked to their source, and the hvm bug still haven't been confirmed by them... I'll try to investigate later, bear with me ..
Pardon if this is completely off base... Isn't xen-tools[system-qemu] requiring seabios an unnecessary dep as qemu (as a separate package) pulls in seabios already? I understand that this would probably break HVM for system-qemu systems. Perhaps the quickest path to closing this bug is to move the seabios dep under a qemu? check.
(In reply to Pat Erley from comment #3) i don't use xen, so i can only speak generally, but if xen itself utilizes seabios in some fashion, the indirect dep graph (xen->qemu->seabios) is irrelevant.

Yeah, what I really meant is, it's my understanding that xen-tools[system-qemu] uses the system qemu instead of the bundled qemu. In that situation, it seems like the system qemu's preferred seabios should be the one that is required. I guess xen might use it's own preferred seabios version with system qemu, which leads to our current situation: xen-tools[system-qemu] cannot be installed(on x86, at least). Adding qemu? for the seabios dep does not worsen the situation for a system-qemu system (over the current situation), and at the very least, would allow the HVM fix from seabios-1.7.4 to propagate in once it's verified for qemu shipped outside of Xen. (I've already worked past this bug by adding qemu? to my ebuild in a local overlay, to just quickly get past this issue. Will be checking tonight to see if xen still functions)

In this case I'm thinking about bringing back the bundled seabios for then xen-tools, sine xen upstream has their own seabios-config .. > (I've already worked past this bug by adding qemu? to my ebuild in a local > overlay, to just quickly get past this issue.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Update seabios dep to match what is included in the source http://sources.gentoo.org/app-emulation/qemu/qemu-2.0.0-r1.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2 http://sources.gentoo.org/app-emulation/qemu/qemu-2.0.0.ebuild?r1=1.7&r2=1.8
i checked the qemu-2.0.0 source and it does include seabios-1.7.4, so i should have updated the dep when i version bumped the package if that's sufficient to make everyone happy, then let's just go with that and continue ignoring the issue :)

Any saved images or snapshots taken with QEMU 2.0.x with an older seabios will now cause QEMU 2.0.x to fail to start with seabios 1.7.4.
(In reply to Doug Goldstein from comment #9) how can seabios ever be bumped then while still maintaining snapshot resume ?
