--- Begin Message ---Package: vmdebootstra Version: 0.5-1 Severity: important Hi, When following the usage example from vmdebootstrap(8), qemu fails to boot an image if that image is a bit larger than 1GB and extlinux is used. It just hangs at the SeaBIOS screen, whilst using 100% of a CPU core, with the following message: "Booting from Hard Disk..." Steps to reproduce: 1073MB image is still OK (for me): $ sudo vmdebootstrap --image ok.img --size 1073M --owner=`whoami` $ qemu-system-x86_64 ./ok.img 1074MB image, and larger, hangs: $ sudo vmdebootstrap --image hang.img --size 1074M --owner=`whoami` $ qemu-system-x86_64 ./hang.img Using a separate /boot partition with eg --bootsize=50M did not resolve the issue for me. Using --grub did, however. I'm not sure who the culprit is: extlinux, vmdebootstrap, qemu, qemu-utils, or seabios. Please reassign at will. In case this is an extlinux limitation, though, then perhaps --grub should be forced with size > 1g? I couldn't find any docs on that, however.
