Built an image for Qemux86. Running Virtualbox on Ubuntu. After loading the qemux86.vmdk image, it always stuck at "Decompressing Linux ......booting the kernel", regardless of Graphic or console boot selection. Anyone seen the issue?

WebOS OSE unfortunately doesn't support VirtualBox, you need to use prebuilt QEmu mentioned in the documentation or build your own QEmu with virgl enabled, see [Pre-built images available](http://forum.webosose.org/t/pre-built-images-available/392/2?u=jama) how to do that with ubuntu and similar Linux distro.
