Public bug reported: Hi, with pre-builds of upcoming qemu 4.2 and lbivirt 6.0 that can be found on [1] I've seen issues on ppc64.
Directly at boot I run into this crash: ubuntu@dradis:~$ virsh start focal-t1 --console Domain focal-t1 started Connected to domain focal-t1 Escape character is ^] Populating /vdevice methods Populating /vdevice/vty@30000000 Populating /vdevice/nvram@71000000 Populating /pci@800000020000000 ( 700 ) Program Exception [ 0 ] R0 ..

But I can't see where exactly things break and what to do. I'd ask to mirror that to IBM to get their help on this rather sooner than later (Focal feature freeze is coming). Testing is as easy as: $ qemu-system-ppc64 -nographic This leaves me in an interactive shell of the FW it seems, if there is anything I should poke there let me know: 5 > Versions: qemu-system-ppc 1:4.2-1ubuntu1~ppa4 qemu-slof 20180702+dfsg-1 Maybe it is "just" an update to slof that is needed. But still the new hipervisor shouldn't Illegal-Op on "old FW". I might understand vice versa, but not this way around.
