[Bug 1859106] Re: 4.2 regression: ReactOS crashes on boot

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.

If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  4.2 regression: ReactOS crashes on boot

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In QEMU 4.1.x and earlier, ReactOS can successfully boot, but starting
  with 4.2, it fails, instead coming up with an error "The video driver
  failed to initialize."

  This happens regardless of VM configuration (even -M pc-i440fx-4.1)
  and it works well with older versions of QEMU. bisecting QEMU to find
  the first bad commit reveals 0221d73ce6a8e075adaa0a35a6ef853d2652b855
  as the culprit, which is updating the seabios version; perhaps this
  bug belongs there, but I don't know the appropriate avenue (it seems
  seabios is a subproject of QEMU anyway?).
