Yes, I am running on archlinux 64 bit, I also tried qemu alone and different
options for -cpu and -machine.
GCC version is 4.7.1 and qemu version is 1.1.1.

I tried narrowing the problem down and found that the problem seems to be that
Cpu::boot_cpu() returns NULL in kernel_main in  main-ia32-64.cpp,
So I would suspect that this is due to some weird thing in the build
toolchain going wrong and not calling the constructors of Cpu or Per_cpu
correctly.

(Disclaimer, I have only been reading this code for a few hours, so I by no
means know whether this is actually the cause).


Cheers,
Markus
