QEMU v8.2/v9.0+ gets stuck at boot (SeaBIOS) for ~60s/need newer SeaBIOS, see https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2365 Downgrading to v8.1 fixes it, but so does upgrading SeaBIOS. I manually verified simply by copying the seabios 1.16.0 ebuild to 1.16.3 and upgrading - problem fixed. All that's needed is for someone to commit a copy of the seabios ebuild renamed to 1.16.3. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade QEMU to 8.2/9.0+ Actual Results: SeaBIOS stuck for ~30s Expected Results: no delay according to QEMU some BIOS/AHCI changes caused this and you should always use bundled SeaBIOS, or at least latest.
to be clear: before I used seabios-bin-1.16.0 like "officially supported". but as I cannot bump the -bin, I switched to "unsupported non-bin 1.16.3 and it seems to work fine. so ideally of course both packages (seabios and seabios-bin) should be bumped
same behavior. Fixed by rollback of qemu on 8.1.5 stable/build 1.16.3 seabios by yourself. Will be incredible if seabios(-bin) 1.16.3 will be updated on mainstream
