Description Phil Tooley 2015-07-29 16:26:48 UTC

Debian are now including a patch to qemu which correctly copies data from a user supplied SLIC table to the RSDT table to allow a virtualised copy of windows 7/8/8.1 to activate correctly.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exoscale/pkg-qemu/precise/debian/patches/mjt-set-oem-in-rsdt-like-slic.diff

Can we get this patch included in the qemu in portage please (possibly under a use flag)?

Reproducible: Always

sorry, but we aren't maintaining our own patchset against qemu anymore.  we run `epatch_user` though, so it should be trivial for you to drop that into /etc/portage/patches/ and have it be applied.
