[Qemu-devel] linux firmware kit reports 3 failures and 3 warning when executed in qemu

[Gildas]

Out of curiosity, I ran the linux firmware kit live cdrom, that tests
linux interaction with the BIOS.

The test results in 3 failures and 3 warning when executed in qemu
using the command "qemu -cdrom firmwarekit.iso"
