Bug#796470: debian-installer: amd64 and i386 netboot/mini.iso do not boot on qemu

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

i now tested on real hardware:
AMD 4x2.4 MHz five years old, Award BIOS 6.00
with amd64 mini.iso on USB stick and DVD+RW.

Same effect as with qemu.
It makes no progress after saying "EHDD" or "ETCD".


Since it cannot get any worse, i replaced /isolinux.bin
of amd64 mini.iso by /isolinux/isolinux.bin out of
debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso.

  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom amd64_mini_ts.iso -boot d

boots to the grey-cyan-swirly graphics screen

  "Debian GNU/Linux installer boot menu"

So the problem is in the boot image binary.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
