Hi

I am using qemu-system-i386 (version 2.0.0 ) on Ubuntu running on an ARM system.  I am testing setting up Windows 7 in this emulator (so X86 on ARM).   The setup starts in text mode saying "loading files" with a progress bar.  It crashes as soon as it tries to display graphics (logo or blue screen) after "windows is loading files..".

I suspect it might be a seabios bios or VGA bios issue.  Following output is generated on the console.  The last line displayed before the hang "VBE current mode=4118".

Do you think it is a Seabios issue?  Any hints?

Thank you!
