I did, and it does (example on M1 with KVM): $ /home/maz/vminstall/qemu-hack -m 1G -smp 256 -cpu host -machine virt,accel=kvm,gic-version=3,highmem=on -nographic -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd qemu-hack: warning: Number of SMP cpus requested (256) exceeds the recommended cpus supported by KVM (8) qemu-hack: warning: Number of hotpluggable cpus requested (256) exceeds the recommended cpus supported by KVM (8) qemu-hack: Capacity of the redist regions(123) is less than number of vcpus(256) Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible. _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
