[Bug 1859106] [NEW] 4.2 regression: ReactOS crashes on boot

2020-01-09 Thread Mike Swanson
Public bug reported: In QEMU 4.1.x and earlier, ReactOS can successfully boot, but starting with 4.2, it fails, instead coming up with an error "The video driver failed to initialize." This happens regardless of VM configuration (even -M pc-i440fx-4.1) and it works well with older versions of QEM
