On kernels 6.1.44 and 6.1.45, the QEMU VNC window stays dark, not switching to any of the guest's video modes and the VM process uses only ~64 MB of RAM of the assigned 2 GB, indefinitely. It's like the VM is paused/halted/stuck before even starting. The process can be killed successfully and then restarted again (with the same result), so it is not deadlocked in kernel or the like. > > > > > > > > > > Kernel 6.1.43 works fine. > > > > > > > > > > I have also tried downgrading CPU microcode from 20230808 to 20230719, but that did not help. > > > > > > > > > > The CPU is AMD Ryzen 5900.

My 0.2 cents on something that might be related: On my Intel laptop I can't boot a windows guest with hyperv enabled inside (either regular hyperv win10 or win11 with core isolation) I know now that 'ibt=off' on host kernel line fixes this, but I didn't yet bisected it to see which commit started it. (I took this from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2221531, which is unrelated but I just noticed it somehow and tried the solution) I run upstream 6.4 kernel + kvm/queue on that laptop.
