Already fixed for ages. > I see marking Q35 as the default machine a first step. Maybe the better option is to go the arm route: Just don't define a default, so users have to specify pc or q35. That will make them notice there is a world beside 'pc', and we also avoid breaking things silently. In case no machine type is given qemu can print some hints together with the error message. cheers, Gerd
