Good Day to all,
i wanted to test the live version of devuan so i picked
devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_RC_amd64_minimal-live.iso
checked its SHA256SUMS.txt : OK
then, with tinycorelinux 10 64b as host i booted with :
$ qemu-system-x86_64 devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_RC_amd64_minimal-live.iso
(the way i do with any live distro)
the i got the menu to select among various modes :
access, access-toram, no probe, std, std-toram
once i select one (any) the actual boot starts... and ends with :
[ 37.853340] List of all partitions:

any idea about what causes this and suggestions on workarounds?
Thank you all in advance
