[U-Boot] U-Boot x86 QEMU: Error on boot

21 Nov 2016


      Hello,
  I'm trying to get u-boot working on QEMU so I understand how it works
before moving to an embedded system.
After following the instructions here:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg04835.html
U-Boot is always crashing, even when omitting the network stuff. Below
is how I'm currently trying to boot:
qemu-system-i386 -nographic -bios u-boot.rom
And here is the ending result:

### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
I think I'm on the bleeding edge branch, but even then when reverting to
the v2016.09.01 tag, I still crash.
If there is any additional information that I can provide please let me
know.
