[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1563887] Re: qemu-system-ppc64 freezes on starting image on ppc64le

[Serge Hallyn]

Actually the clou dimages have a 4.2 kernel.   When I use a xenial beta2
iso which has 4.4.0-15-generic #31, it boots fine.  I can install, and I
can boot the installed image (with same kernel) just fine.
