Trying excalibur desktop-live.iso in qemu i get a blank screen

Host: Devuan Excalibur

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 devuan-excal-live-storage.qcow2 10G

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -nic user,model=virtio -drive file=devuan-excal-live-storage.qcow2,media=disk,if=virtio  -cdrom install-images/devuan_excalibur_6.1.1_amd64_desktop-live.iso

I see the boot menu and i let it boot with its default.

If i choose fail safe it proceeds ok and i login with username : devuan.

Re: Trying excalibur desktop-live.iso in qemu i get a blank screen

I get the same result when I use your command. Remove the '-nic user,model=virtio' and it works.

Note: I did not include the '-drive file=...' part in my test, so I don't know if that would also need to be changed. I use raw disk images and don't use virtio. e.g.  -drive file=${image_file},format=raw
