I think this issue is a duplicate of the following RHBZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1373154
and the *SeaBIOS* commit that makes it all work again is:
commit 0e21548b15e25e010c362ea13d170c61a3fcc899
Author: Gerd Hoffmann <address@hidden>
Date: Fri Jul 3 11:07:05 2015 +0200
virtio: pci cfg access
That SeaBIOS commit is part of the SeaBIOS 1.10.0 release.
However, QEMU 2.7 shipped with bundled SeaBIOS 1.9.3 binaries. See QEMU
commits 6e03a28e1cee (part of v2.7.0) and 6e99f5741ff1 (not part of any
tagged release yet).
The fix is probably the following:
- backport SeaBIOS commit 0e21548b15e2 to the stable 1.9 branch, for
release 1.9.4
- bundle SeaBIOS 1.9.4 binaries with QEMU v2.7.1.
