Comment # 8 on bug 1132941 from Larry Finger

I have an update. As discussed in
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/697900, the openSUSE maintainer of
acpica is unwilling to accept the patch that I tested. He will be waiting for
the upstream maintainer to complete all of his tests to verify the patch. Of
course, that ignores the fact the the test suite completely missed the
introduction of the bug! :)

Until those tests are completed, and any fixes are done upstream, booting of
Windows 7 VMs will continue to fail UNLESS you follow the prescription of
comment 5. If you have Win 7 VMs and the above fails, then please notify me
through this bug report.
