When I understand things correctly the problem is that the phys-bits limit applies to the npt/ept tables too, effectively restricting guest physical address space to host physical address space. TCG is not affected by that and should work just fine. Not sure what happens if you turn off npt/ept and run on softmmu. Possibly that works fine too. > Also quick look at host-phys-bits shows that it affects only 'host' > cpu model and is NOP for all other models. I don't think so. microvm forces host-phys-bits=on and that works with all cpu models. take care, Gerd
