commit b40acf99bef69fa8ab0f9092ff162fde945eec12 Author: Jan Kiszka <jan.kis...@siemens.com> Date: Mon Jun 24 10:45:09 2013 +0200 ioport: Switch dispatching to memory core layer After the ISOLINUX menu, the display goes white and sits there for about 2 minutes on my laptop before the usual Linux boot screen appears. $ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 -cdrom ~/iso/livecd.iso The parent commit immediately goes to the usual boot screen after ISOLINUX. Unfortunately I don't have a ISO download link for the live CD. Any ideas? Stefan
