Hi,

I tried archlinux-2017.03.28-i686.iso and I get:

"
ISOLINUX 6.03 6.03* ETCD Copyright (C) 1995-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
No DEFAULT or UI onfiguration directive found!
boot:
"

I tried to boot in libvirt on an Archlinux machine and a real machine
with Intel Pentium III, ASUS P2B-S.

I'm trying to find out what the problem might be.. any hints are
welcome. :-)

BTW: I can contribute to the project by testing: I have the following
hardware I plan to keep for a while:

ASUS EEEPC 701
QNAP TS-439 PRO
HP ProLiant DL140 G1
Desktop ASUS P2B-S Intel Pentium III

Cheers

Andreas
