Can you provide a complete repro case including full command line and all image files needed to run it, please?
Sure, please excuse me for not doing this at the very beginning. The test is just standard debian kernel+initrd (I used sid/unstable kernel, but it looks like bookworm kernel also "works"). http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/tmp/virtio-arm.tar.gz this archive contains kernel+initrd. I run it this way: qemu-system-arm -append root=LABEL=debvm -nographic -machine type=virt \ -drive media=disk,format=raw,file=vmlinuz,if=virtio,snapshot=on \ -no-user-config -m 1G -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd.img Note "vmlinuz" file is used as both kernel and a hdd image, - this is just to have at least one virtio device. Obviously with such a setup, guest will not find its root fs, but it will (or not, in the problematic/buggy case) load the virtio modules. When run under qemu-system-arm v8.2.0, no virtio drivers are loaded. /mjt
