Refracta isos won't boot in qemu, either. I tried jessie-based isos back
to December 2014, and they all failed, including one Debian Jessie with
systemd. Wheezy-based isos worked properly.

I rebooted into wheezy to try with an older qemu and had the same results.
I'm surprised by that. I thought I used qemu with some of the early jessie
isos I made.
