[Bug 1923497] Re: bios_linker_loader_add_checksum: Assertion `start_offset < file->blob->len' failed

[Ed Davison]

The patch may be a bit beyond me at the moment as I use a package to
install this and would have to figure out how to download source, get it
configure, patched and compiled.  Whew!  Maybe ...

But here is my XML config file.

Title:
  bios_linker_loader_add_checksum: Assertion `start_offset <
  file->blob->len' failed

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Trying boot/start a Windows 10 VM.  Worked until recently when this
  error started showing up.

  I have the following installed on Fedora 33:
  qemu-kvm-5.1.0-9.fc33.x86_64

  This is the error:

  Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting
  to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64:
  /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-5.1.0/hw/acpi/bios-linker-loader.c:239:
  bios_linker_loader_add_checksum: Assertion `start_offset <
  file->blob->len' failed.

  I see this were referenced in a patch from some time ago and
  supposedly fixed.  Here is the patch info I was able to find:
