Hi Frank,

Thanks for the advice, however, after introducing this change my qemu says:

qemu-system-x86_64: -M pc-i440fx-2.6: Unsupported machine type

>pc itself defaults to pc-i440fx-2.7 which introduced the error.

On my machine pc seems to default to pc-i440fx-2.1:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine help

However, I noticed that a new initvm instance created with elbe 1.2 does not have the original problem (not showing the login prompt).

Thanks & regards,
Lukasz
