Hi All, I have found the issue. I cross compiled this kernel with GCC 11.2.0 on Ubuntu 22.04.1. I cross compiled the same kernel with GCC 9.4.0 again. This time on Ubuntu 20.04.5. KVM with the VirtIO GPU works with the GCC 9.4.0 compiled kernel. — Christian I wrote: Hello, Xorg doesn't start anymore in a virtual e5500 QEMU KVM HV machine with the VirtIO GPU [1] since the RC7 of kernel 6.0.
