git bisect is unsure, but one of these commits seems to have completely broken virtio-serial. There are only 'skip'ped commits left to test. The first bad commit could be any of: 0399a3819b27083ba69b88a9baa9025facab85bd 2ef66625f3a8978dcbbad773e6813f747971381e We cannot bisect more! Anyhow, the error is: hw/char/virtio-console.c:132:virtconsole_realize: Object 0x7f85482fb8a0 is not an instance of type virtconsole The full log including command line is attached.
