Documentation: Move the QEMU troubleshooting section
This is no longer relevant for most users because due to an unrelated change to Meta/run.sh the default display backend is now SDL which does not exhibit this problem.

### Slow boot on HiDPI systems
|
||||
|
||||
On some Windows systems running with >100% scaling, the booting phase of Serenity might slow to a crawl. Changing the
|
||||
zoom settings of the QEMU window will speed up the emulation, but you'll have to squint harder to read the smaller display.
|
||||
|
||||
The default display backend (`SERENITY_QEMU_DISPLAY_BACKEND=sdl,gl=off`) does _not_ have this problem. If you're
|
||||
running into this problem, make sure you haven't changed the QEMU display backend.
|
||||
|
||||
A quick workaround is opening the properties of the QEMU executable at `C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-x86_64.exe`, and
|
||||
in the Compatibility tab changing the DPI settings to force the scaling to be performed by the System, by changing the
|
||||
setting at at the bottom of the window. The QEMU window will now render at normal size while retaining acceptable emulation speeds.
|
||||
|
||||
This is being tracked as issue [#7657](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/issues/7657).

### Boot fails with "Error: Kernel Image too big for memory slot. Halting!"
|
||||
|
||||
This means the kernel is too large again. Contact us on the discord server or open a GitHub Issue about it.
