This is not enough. This step is good already, but it lacks default machine
type selection. In debian we carry a tiny patch to make microvm the default
machine type or else it crashes at startup not finding "pc" machine or one
of its required devices.
No crash here, what is your base commit?
./qemu-system-x86_64
qemu-system-x86_64: No machine specified, and there is no default
Use -machine help to list supported machines
Well, this is definitely better than a crash. I haven't looked at that for
a long time, initially it just crashed.
Still, this current behavior isn't nice, - in my opinion it should select
microvm by default in this case.
https://salsa.debian.org/qemu-team/qemu/-/blob/master/debian/patches/microvm-default-machine-type.patch
is the outline (from more than 4 years ago), - it's a hack but shows what
I mean.
