I'm trying to set up an HVM CentOS guest, and I've run into a problem. I
originally tried posting it on Stack Exchange (
https://superuser.com/questions/1193771/failed-to-read-bios-file-no-such-file-or-directory),
but it is not documented anywhere on the Internet that Google can see and I
have gotten no response. I regained interest in it today and used strace to
determine what bios file it was looking for, and found it was looking for a
file called 'yes' in the current directory. This is what made me decide it
was most likely a bug and post it here rather in xen-users. My
configuration is as listed on the Stack Exchange question and does not
contain the word yes anywhere in it. What should I do next?

Does anybody have advice as to what to do? Am I in the wrong place? Am I
missing something obvious?

Could you send email in plain text only (no html)?
Have you build Xen from a package in AUR? In that case, reading/writing
comment there can be helpful.
How do you compile Xen? If you compiled with
--with-system-seabios, it should be
--with-system-seabios=/usr/share/qemu/bios-256k.bin
(on Arch Linux)
Hope that help,

I apologize for HTML, I'm using Google Inbox and I'm not sure how to
control it. Yes I am using AUR, and I can imagine somebody adding
--with-system-seabios=yes not understanding what it's supposed to be. Thank
you, I will take a look at that later today!
