 FS#37  - ISO 2018.05.01 is not bootable with qemu or Virtualbox

I tried the i686 image. Booting leads to kernel panic.
Adding an explicit init=/lib/systemd/systemd parameter also panics.

qemu-system-i386 -cdrom archlinux-2018.05.01-i686.iso

It also panics in Virtualbox.

The same ISO works with libvirtd though.

i686 iso works fine in virtualbox on both a windows and linux host from my testing.

Issue confirmed on qemu-system-i386 and qemu-system-x86_64. archlinux-2018.04.01-i686.iso fails to boot correctly as well.

So /lib/systemd/systemd is either not found or cannot be executed, maybe because of a wrong
shared library dependency? I doubt it has to do with the kernel itself, as the log message
indicates the initial ram disk has been loaded.

The write error indicates that the ramdisk could not be extracted.

So, if I start qemu with:

qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -cpu pentium3 -m 2048 -cdrom archlinux-2018.06.01-i686.iso

it works.

The default in qemu is 128MB :-) Admin

Sadly this is not the cause for VirtualBox, there it still fails even with 2048MB memory.

The 2019.01.04 ISO works with Virtualbox 6.0.0.
