Instruction error is 0x7 and Intel SDM 31-4 Vol. 3C states that: The processor checks on the VMX controls and host-state area. If any of these checks fail, the VM-entry instruction fails. RFLAGS.ZF is set to 1 and either 7 (VM entry with invalid control field(s)) or 8 (VM entry with invalid host-state field(s)) is saved in the VM-instruction error field. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818937 Title: Crash with HV_ERROR on macOS host Status in QEMU: New Bug description: On macOS host running Windows 10 guest, qemu crashed with error message: Error: HV_ERROR.
