Some OS vendors patch QEMU to have different machine types than upstream QEMU provides, and I guess that's what you've hit. If you look in your libvirt XML 'virsh dumpxml $GUESTNAME' you'll see a machine type listed - probably "pc-$SOMETHING" or "q35-$SOMETHING". If you simply delete the "-$SOMETHING" part to leave just "pc" or just "q35", then libvirt will expand the machine type into the latest one available with your self-built QEMU Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
