The max CPUs supported by machine 'pc-q35-mantic-maxcpus' is 288 As can be seen above, there is a problem with the new pc-q35-mantic- maxcpus machine type. As such, I am tagging this bug as verification- mantic-failed and will upload a fix for the issue. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-mantic ** Tags added: verification-failed-mantic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2012763 Title: qemu-system-amd64 max cpus is too low for latest processors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxd/+bug/2012763/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
