MINIX 3 won't boot in qemu 0.9.1

[Sylvain Nahas]

CD Image 3.1.2a was downloaded from http://www.minix3.org/download/

It booted with previous version of qemu but hangs at startup with 0.9.1.

Hardware acceleration is disabled.

Please ask if there is other information I can give you.

Is that still a problem? What was the exact error?
I quickly tried the 3.1.2a on qemu 0.12.4 (with and without KVM) and I could easily login.

This happens with MINIX 3.1.6, during boot it briefly goes into an
invalid state while switching to protected mode IIRC.

Can you give more hints on how to reproduce this?
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom minix_R3.1.6-r6084.iso
works fine for me (I get to the prompt), both with --enable-kvm and without and also with qemu-kvm. My qemu version is 0.12.4.
Do I need to install it and run it from the harddisk?

Hi,
I have retried with qemu 0.12.3 on the same binaries, and it works fine.
For me, this report can be closed.

Thanks,
Sylvain

Hi,
I have switched the status to "Fix Released". Was it the right thing to do?
