Console seems to come up a bit faster if I leave out the machine option. I tried this with qemu 8.0.3 on a m1 laptop running linux in case the machine running the qemu host might make some difference.. On dmesg I see 8250 come up: [ 0.671877] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled [ 0.680185] 00:03: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A > Simplifying the drive and device virtio-blk-pci lines prevents the > initramfs of the VM from finding the disk and thus the system doesn't > get as far to show the issue. > > If you want to see it work, add > -device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vram64_size_mb=0,vgamem_mb=16,max_outputs=1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 \ > -vnc :1 > point a vncviewer to port 5901, remove the "serial=ttyS0" configuration > and see the system run normally. > > What else can I do? Still a minimal reproducable test case is needed.. Or do you have the dmesg output of the failing boot? Regards, Tony
