Updated today to Kernel gentoo-sources-6.8.5-r1:

I'm using libvirt for managing my virtual machines.

Starting Win 10 failes with error message:

Code:

Fehler beim Starten der Domain: Interner Fehler: QEMU unexpectedly closed the monitor (vm='Win10'): 2024-04-13T14:08:10.681706Z qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x40000021 to 0x0

The VM starts without any problems with Kernel 6.7.0.

Any ideas?

Got it, but don't understand it fully:

config:
Support for Microsoft Hyper-V emulation (KVM_HYPERV)

CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV:

Provides KVM support for emulating Microsoft Hyper-V. This allows KVM
to expose a subset of the paravirtualized interfaces defined in the
Hyper-V Hypervisor Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS):
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs
These interfaces are required for the correct and performant functioning
of Windows and Hyper-V guests on KVM.

If unsure, say "Y".

Symbol: KVM_HYPERV [=y]
Type : bool
Defined at arch/x86/kvm/Kconfig:142
Prompt: Support for Microsoft Hyper-V emulation
Depends on: VIRTUALIZATION [=y] && KVM [=y]
Location:
-> Virtualization (VIRTUALIZATION [=y])
-> Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support (KVM [=y])
-> Support for Microsoft Hyper-V emulation (KVM_HYPERV [=y])


CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV has to be enabled. although I don't use any HyperV. Maybe Windows defines itself as HyperV if it's installed as a KVM VM.

That's not all. Additionally to the KVM_HYPERV setting the following setting did the trick:

Code:
CONFIG_PROCESSOR_SELECT is not set


I'm using an AMD Ryzen processor. So I thought it would be ok to disable the support for Intel, Hygon, Centaur and Zhaoxin processors.

After that the error occured too.
