@Christian, Yes. This following patch fixes the problem https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-03/msg01020.html I saw your ping on the patch. I am not sure why it is not picked up. I am going ping them today.
>If I might ask - how does the kernel fix you referenced interact with this >proposed qemu change? >Assumptions (please correct me): Problem seem to happen when guest tries to access the SPEC_CTRL register to with the wrong settings. The kernel fix avoids writing those values and avoids #GP fault. >1. with the qemu change and using that Rome-v2 it would ask to expose both >features and no more crash (even >on unfixed kernels) Yes. With Qemu patch EPYC-Rome v2 this issue will be fixed. >2. with the kernel fix it will no more crash, even with an unfixed qemu? Yes, That is correct. We need at lease one of these patches to fix this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915063 Title: Windows 10 wil not install using qemu-system-x86_64 Status in QEMU: New Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce install virt-manager and ovmf if nopt already there copy windows and virtio iso files to /var/lib/libvirt/images Use virt-manager from local machine to create your VMs with the disk, CPUs and memory required Select customize configuration then select OVMF(UEFI) instead of seabios set first CDROM to the windows installation iso (enable in boot options) add a second CDROM and load with the virtio iso change spice display to VNC Always get a security error from windows and it fails to launch the installer (works on RHEL and Fedora) I tried updating the qemu version from Focals 4.2 to Groovy 5.0 which was of no help --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.14 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is the distribution channel descriptor for the OEM CDs # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-sutton-focal-amd64-20201030-422+pc-sutton-bachman-focal-amd64+X00 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-01-20 (19 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20201030-14:39 MachineType: LENOVO 30E102Z NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: linux (not installed) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 EFI VGA ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.6.0-1042-oem root=UUID=389cd165-fc52-4814-b837-a1090b9c2387 ro locale=en_US quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.6.0-1042.46-oem 5.6.19 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-5.6.0-1042-oem N/A linux-backports-modules-5.6.0-1042-oem N/A linux-firmware 1.187.8 RfKill: Tags: focal Uname: Linux 5.6.0-1042-oem x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip docker kvm libvirt lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 07/29/2020 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: S07KT08A dmi.board.name: 1046 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: None dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrS07KT08A:bd07/29/2020:svnLENOVO:pn30E102Z:pvrThinkStationP620:rvnLENOVO:rn1046:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct3:cvrNone: dmi.product.family: INVALID dmi.product.name: 30E102Z dmi.product.sku: LENOVO_MT_30E1_BU_Think_FM_ThinkStation P620 dmi.product.version: ThinkStation P620 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1915063/+subscriptions
