This will need to be fixed for ARM -- the whole idea of there being a sensible "default machine type" and it being the one QEMU starts by default is pretty x86-centric. libvirt needs to have support for specifying which machine to use. (There is consideration of changing the default ppc64 machine, as it happens; but in general you can't rely on QEMU doing what you want if you don't tell it specifically which board you wanted.) thanks -- PMM -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
