[Barrelfish-users] Problems booting Barrelfish on Qemu

[Kornilios Kourtis]

Hi,

Unfortunately, barrelfish does not work well with qemu v1.0. I'm not sure
what the problem is, or even if it's a qemu or barrelfish bug. A short
term solution until we fix the issue is to switch back to an older
version: 0.14 is what we currently using, but I think 0.15 works as well.

cheers,
Kornilios.
