== Comment: #2 ==

Can you please try adding graphics support and test if it installation
pass with VNC.

example:
------
    <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
    </graphics>
    <video>
      <model type='vga' vram='16384' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

== Comment: #3  ==

I added graphics support and tested in VNC. The system flyg3 hangs at
the same point - "Booting Linux via __start()"
