On 9105-22A you need atleast:
Firmware level: FW1060.10

> Linux 6.11.0-lp155.4.gce149d2-default I get:
Kernel version is fine. ATM anything >=6.10 is good

If you are still getting this error after switching to FW1060.10 than
you need to enable KVM mode for the LPAR following instructions here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=servers-kvm-in-powervm-lpar#kvm_in_powervm_lpar__title__9

TLDR; Just need to enable 'KVM Mode' in the LPAR configuration from HMC.

Further clarified at
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=servers-kvm-in-powervm-lpar

There is a qemu model based on tcg, that was merged in v9.0.0 some time back via
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240308111940.1617660-1-harshpb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

If you want to try this, then following can be helpful in setting up the
environment:
