OK, found my issue! :-). Still a bit odd, but virt-manager complaints about the custom QEMU executable => but virsh still works. So I did get the VM running, with, QEMU emulator version 5.1.93 (v5.2.0-rc3) Copyright (c) 2003-2020 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers
But it still performed the same. I also checked the xml file (VM definition), and made sure to change the machine to the most current version (pc-q35-5.2), but also no improvement. Other things to try?

However, if I even reboot the guest OS, then the driver load fails => can be "corrected" by a full host OS reboot (which seems very extreme). Is this a known issue, and/or is there a workaround? FYI, running, QEMU emulator version 5.0.0 (Debian 1:5.0-5ubuntu9.1) Copyright (c) 2003-2020 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers This is for a macOS guest, on a Linux host. Thanks!
