Hi, if no cpu model is set the default is qemu64 which is rather conservative for - maximum migratability - guaranteeing the same feature set will be available wherever you start your KVM
But I thought svm/vmx would be part of that set. A short test at least on Xenial proved my assumption that for me that is flags : fpu de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx lm rep_good nopl pni vmx cx16 x2apic popcnt hypervisor lahf_lm abm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid Which contains vmx and kvm-ok is happy. Could you provide a "cat /proc/cpuinfo" of host and guest as well as the full commandline that libvirt generated for you? ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561019 Title: copied cpu flags don't match host cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libvirt/+bug/1561019/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
