Can you show us the output on the serial line? This could give a hint where it
is failing. Also you can make io more verbose by providing multiple '-v' as an
argument to io.

Btw, the standard ARM L4Linux example does not use a graphical output. Did you
modify the example accordingly?

According to the qemu documentation the PBX-A9 target provides a maximum of
1024M of RAM. However, Fiasco and L4Re can only use 512M if I remember
correctly.
