Does that make sense? I would like to understand why the device model doesn't seem to boot up properly with the new syntax. For this kind of problem, you should reproduce it with a QEMU running on x86 hardware (ie doing JIT, not using KVM), preferably an upstream QEMU. We haven't changed any of the device or net code, so it's likely to be either an upstream bug or possibly a wrong command line (I haven't looked at the new command line syntax in depth at all). Either way, better to disentangle it from the KVM work (and probably ask on qemu-devel about it)... thanks -- PMM _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/kvmarm
