Public bug reported: I am trying QEMU on Raspberry Pi 4 B 4GB and is encountering an issue trying to start a VM using machine type raspi3b.
OS: Ubuntu 21.04, 5.11.0-1007-raspi Sample libvirt domain xml (tried to be minimal) <domain type='kvm'> <name>raspi3b</name> <memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <os> <type arch='aarch64' machine='raspi3b'>hvm</type> </os> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'/> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64</emulator> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='qemu-xhci'/> </devices> </domain> Error: qemu-system-aarch64: Property 'raspi3b-machine.acpi' not found It seems that libvirt will put "-no-acpi" to the qemu starting command it creates, and that caused the error above. If I try to mimic the start VM command w/o this, VM seems to be running (but I am no expert to really test it out) May the maintainer help validate whether it is the real cause and have a fix for it (and other QEMU machine types that do not support ACPI anyway)? Or, should it be a bug be filed for QEMU instead? ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1936831 Title: libvirt ACPI on unsupported machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1936831/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
