Comment # 8 on bug 1219395 from Michal Suchanek

So it tries to run the x86 emulator on something that it assumes will give the
VBE data, and it segfaults instead. Hard to debug without having that
particular BIOS, and not really something I want to support. If it works for
you, great. If not there is an option to disable the classic VBE BIOS reads.
Maybe it could be the default to prevent executing random garbage.
