Thanks for this good report! And also thanks for providing the workaround for anyone else running into this.
The old types should (tm) not change due to the compat layers that on any change ensure that former types have the old values set. That is an issue within qemu. I don't see yet why that would be specific to windows guests, but maybe their drivers trigger something Linux wont. P.S. I know you now got it migrated, still I'd strongly encourage to bump to a more recent machine type at e.g. a planned service downtime window or such. You just don't want to carry things forever. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902654 Title: failure to migrate virtual machines with pc-i440fx-wily type to ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1902654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
