I downloaded the sources from branch staging ,when I tried fedora.run run
script, the system seemed to hang.
The whole log file is attached.
The original fedora.run run script set the qemu memory to 3072M,but my
mechine only support 1024M,I am not sure if this cause the hangs.
I check the log file, find it lose some output which normally printed by
nic_drv.

[init -> nic_drv] --- init iPXE NIC
[init -> nic_drv]     number of devices: 1
[init -> nic_drv] --- init rx_callbacks
[init -> nic_drv] --- get MAC address
[init -> nic_drv]     00:0e:04:00:03:16

so I add some print function in the source file
genode/dde_ipxe/src/driver/nic/main.cc
According to the print message,in the nic-main.cc file, the create member
function of driver-factory class is not called.
Is this cause my hang?What do you suggest to fix this strange issue.
Regard.
Yuqing Wang.
