Get hold of a Live Linux iso from Debian 11.1 2. Set up the Microsoft Windows version of qemu from https://qemu.weilnetz.de/ 3. Attempt to boot the Live Linux iso Additional information: I also tested older versions of QEMU from the Weilnetz web site. 6.0.0 and 5.2.0 are bad; 5.1.0 and older are good. I then tested the same command line ( no acceleration ) under Linux Tumbleweed 20211014 with qemu 6.1.0 and the iso booted successfully. I have not tried with isos from distributions other than Debian 11.1 . So there is a bug with the Microsoft Windows-specific code in qemu. If you need the specific Live Linux that I was using, let me know and I will get it to you somehow. It is several GB in size so I cannot upload it anywhere conveniently.
