Dear Maintainer,

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

with website date "2015-08-13 10:40" do not boot in qemu
of Deban 8.1.

(As advised by Ian Campbell on debian-cd, i report against
 debian-installer. But i do not know its version and reportbug
 is unhappy that debian-installer is not installed.
 So i have to create this bug mail manually from an older one.)

----------------------------------------------------------------
How to reproduce:

Any senseful combination of
    {i386 mini.iso, amd64 mini.iso}
    x {qemu-system-i386 , qemu-system-x86_64}
    x {-cdrom , -hda}
is broken currently. E.g.:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom mini.iso -boot d
  qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -m 512 -hda mini.iso  

El Torito boot record and MBR properly lead to isolinux.bin which
gets stuck after its startup message. Famous last words are
"ETCD" or "EHDD", depending on -cdrom or -hda.

  SeaBIOS (version 1.7.5-20140531_083030-gandalf)
  ...
  ISOLINUX 6.03 20150812 ETCD

top shows qemu running at 103% CPU on a 4/8 core Xeon.
(I understand 1.03 cores are busy at 3900 MHz.)

debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso boots fine and installs.

The minis do not have the EFI boot equipment which netinst.iso
has. But i doubt that this is the reason.

I would normally blame it on the SYSLINUX version. But the
successful netinst.iso has in its isolinux.bin the string
  ISOLINUX 6.03 20150107 
So no major version jump to see.
