Hello.

I'm running Debian bookworm on my ARM Chromebook,model "xe303c12" and I've
recompiled the kernel to enable KVM,so now my system sounds like this :

If you are going to use libvirt, you could also try Xen (via packages), but I don't know if your device is supported.

$ uname -a
Linux chromarietto 5.4.244-stb-cbe
#8 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 19 22:19:32 UTC 2023 armv7l GNU/Linux

Is it normal to get this "old" kernel on bookworm ARM ? No 6.x versions ?

$ uname -r
5.4.244-stb-cbe

uname -r is already in uname -a (-a == all) ;)

$ qemu-system-arm --version
QEMU emulator version 5.1.0 (v5.1.0-dirty)

bookworm x86 uses QEMU v7 (1:7.2+dfsg-7+deb12u1), so same as above, why is this old version used ?

I have installed libvirt 9.7.0,qemu 5.1 and virt-manager from source code
with the final goal to be able to connect qemu,kvm and libvirt together to
virtualize FreeBSD 13.2 for arm 32 bit. If you ask me why I've recompiled
everything from source code,my answer will be complicated,but in short
terms,for some unknown reason, it reports an error like this :

libvirt on bookworm is 9.0.0-4

"Warning : Failed to set up UEFI /
The Libvirt version does not support UEFI /
Install options are limited"

Look for this error message, it may be quicker and less error prone than compiling everything.
