Thanks @Babu for the clarifications! I really hope that the qemu patch makes it in v6.0 - then I can better consider picking it up as backport for qemu (already have a bug about that in bug 1921754 - therefore I'm setting the qemu task here as invalid)
The last step I can provide for the kernel bug that this one here is (before the rest of the work is with the kernel Team) is to verify/falsify if that also affects the non-oem linux-generic kernel. There the latest was 5.4.0.71.74 from focal-proposed and the latest already released one is 5.4.0.70.73. 5.4.0.70.73 - failing 5.4.0.71.74 - failing So while the almost-released oem kernel based on 5.10 will cover this - the patch should indeed also be backported to linux-generic and all the other flavours - otherwise Windows (and potentially more) will no more be usable as KVM guest on such Chips (threadrippers, but maybe more AMD chips that are not yet known as well) ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915063 Title: Windows 10 wil not install using qemu-system-x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1915063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
