make qemu-nox bootloop help

Hi everyone,

I'm a student that has an assignment titled "Xv6 Adding Commands and System Calls." In the instructions of the assignment to compile and run Xv6 it says:

1) You can copy the source code to your directory by the command,
$ git clone git://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public.git

2) To compile, execute the command
$ make

3) inside your_directory. To run it in qemu without X-Window,
$ make qemu-nox

I cloned and installed step 1 just fine, as well as compiling and executing the command make from step 2. But when I get to step 3 I get a bootloop issue. Specifically my terminal says:

SeaBIOS (version ArchLinux 1.14.0-1)

iPXE (http://ipxe.org) 00:03.0 CA00 PCI2.10 PnP PMM+1FF91500+1FEF1500 CA00
                                                                               

Booting from Hard Disk...

This output won't change in the terminal for as long as I don't terminate the terminal process to get it to stop. I've been looking online for a few days with no luck.. Could anyone be kind enough to give me a hand to get this working so I can start on the assignment? Thank you!

Re: make qemu-nox bootloop help

Looks like it's an issue that appears in binutils 2.36, downgrading to 2.35.1 worked for me.
