Possibly we should silence the shadow code too, at least
perhaps while in
real mode or for a certain EIP range.
I'm not sure that's the right fix. Why is write access to rom disabled
before rom scan when etherboot is known to have write requirement?
#ifdef HVMASSIST
call _enable_rom_write_access
call _clobber_entry_point
call _copy_e820_table
call smbios_init
call _disable_rom_write_access
#endif
call _init_boot_vectors
mov cx, #0xc800 ;; init option roms
mov ax, #0xe000
call rom_scan
Should we move disable action to post rom_scan? If shadow warning
is simply silenced for such case, it seems breaking the purpose of
disable_dom_write_access...
I make a quick test, that warning disappears after moving disable
action post rom_scan. But I haven't found the place triggering such
write violation, as in previous revision write access is also disabled
before rom_scan. It could come from recent bochs update on
expansion rom part by 18931.
Sorry for my late response.
That's a bug of mine.
Some option ROMs would do write accesses.
So rombios need to enable write acess before rom_scan.
I'll post a patch to fix.

Akio Takebe
