Hi Phil, I spent some time trying to debug the problem with tests/acceptance/machine_arm_n8x0.py:N8x0Machine.test_n810. Although I could not reproduce it locally, with or without Avocado, I was able to reproduce it without using Avocado on GitLab CI:
https://gitlab.com/willianrampazzo/qemu/-/pipelines/331342777 >From 50 tries, 3 reproduced the problem. So, answering your question, no, the problem happening with tests/acceptance/machine_arm_n8x0.py:N8x0Machine.test_n810 is not related to the problem reported in this thread or to Avocado.
