[Qemu-devel] upgrade from 1.4.0 to 1.4.91 -> qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM

[Duane Voth]

I noticed there havent been any "fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM" issues since 2011.  qemu 1.4.0 ran this identical uEFI environment with no trouble.  Is this failure in 1.5.0-rc1 interesting?  The qemu guest console window appears, the OVMF splash screen is displayed, and then it all dies with a register dump:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -bios OVMF.fd <many_more_args>
