They have operated well over the last 4 days without issue. I did an apt-get upgrade, and qemu was in the list of updates. After upgrading, I am unable to start any of the provisioned virtual machines with the following error output virsh # start node2 error: Failed to start domain node2 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -machine trusty,accel=kvm,usb=off: Unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines! virsh # start node3 error: Failed to start domain node3 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -machine trusty,accel=kvm,usb=off: Unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines! $ dpkg -l | grep kvm ii qemu-kvm 2.0.0~rc1+dfsg-0ubuntu3 amd64 QEMU Full virtualization on x86 hardware (transitional package) Log snippet from vm 'media' that was verified working, and fails to start after the upgrade.
