Package: bochsbios Version: 2.3.7-1 This is a bug that has been discussed somewhat privately until now; I think it deserves a real bug report so we can track it better.
The issue is that a syslinux template is displayed with the Debian logo but
the text is cut off:
"Press F1 for help, or ENTER to"
It should, obviously, append "boot:" and allow the user to press enter or
enter parameters, etc. I don't know the full details but I can easily
reproduce this with Qemu using a Debian Live image.
Simply waiting about 60 seconds results in the boot prompt appearing. I have
heard of some workarounds (including setting a high screen resolution!).
Using GRUB does not cause similar problems.
I believe aurel32 will reply to this bug adding some more details:
< lamby> aurel32: Is there are bug report open for that qemu/syslinux
timing issue? If not, could you file one; it is difficult to
track.
< aurel32> lamby: it's actually not a qemu issue, but a bochsbios issue
< aurel32> lamby: please open one, I'll add some details here
< aurel32> lamby: though some people are able to reproduce the problem with
real bios
