Any hints? Nothing wrong with your command, I've tried the exact same thing (with -enable-kvm) and it works fine on my M1. - What happens if you try with: -m 1G -smp 2, any differences? - What does ls -l /dev/kvm say? Is your user in the kvm group? - Anything interesting in dmesg? - What if you add -serial file:serial.log ? Anything in serial.log?
