Is that still a problem? What was the exact error?
I quickly tried the 3.1.2a on qemu 0.12.4 (with and without KVM) and I could easily login.

This happens with MINIX 3.1.6, during boot it briefly goes into an
invalid state while switching to protected mode IIRC.

Can you give more hints on how to reproduce this?
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom minix_R3.1.6-r6084.iso
works fine for me (I get to the prompt), both with --enable-kvm and without and also with qemu-kvm. My qemu version is 0.12.4.
Do I need to install it and run it from the harddisk?

As of last March, the bug was found to be in SeaBIOS:

http://www.seabios.org/pipermail/seabios/2010-March/000419.html

Since Bochs BIOS didn't have the problem in this thread, it is 
reasonable to assume that any QEMU issues that existed in 0.9.1 are 
fixed by now.

This has also been fixed in recent versions of MINIX, so upgrading 
either your SeaBIOS or your MINIX should work. Please note that both 
QEMU 0.9.1 and MINIX 3.1.2a are absolutely ancient.

With kind regards,
Erik

Hi,
I have retried with qemu 0.12.3 on the same binaries, and it works fine.
For me, this report can be closed.

Thanks,
Sylvain

Hi,
I have switched the status to "Fix Released". Was it the right thing to do?
