Package: qemu-system
Version: 0.12.5+dfsg-1
Severity: important

qemu 0.12.x isn't working well with with etherboot, at least for me.

it seems to probe the NIC twice, and on the second time, it seems to at least
partially work, able to load pxelinux over the network. (this aspect of the
problem seems identical to http://bugs.debian.org/585170)

but then, after loading pxelinux, it seems to sometimes hang qemu (screen goes
black, unable to switch to qemu monitor), and if it doesn't, it takes very long
to boot. if it does boot, sometimes the network card stops working, hanging the
root filesystem with nfsroot.

upstream has switched to gPXE, which has not yet been uploaded to debian, as
there are some outstanding licensing issues. http://bugs.debian.org/474034

live well,
  vagrant
