#68146: qemu @8.0.4: Hangs when used by lima
----------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: MidnightRocket | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: qemu, lima
----------------------------+------------------------
When using [https://ports.macports.org/port/lima/ sysutils/lima] qemu
hangs when trying to boot a Debian based VM.
This results in lima not able to successfully boot a Debian VM with qemu.
Nothing is even written to the serial logs in {{{
$HOME/.lima/<INSTANCE>/serial.log }}}.
I suspect it has something to do with how Macports builds qemu, as using
qemu binaries manually build from source works as intended.
Using lima binaries from [https://github.com/lima-
vm/lima/releases/tag/v0.17.2 github.com/lima-vm/lima/releases] does not
make a difference.
== Steps to reproduce
- Use {{{limactl}}} to create a debian vm
- Make sure the {{{vmType}}} is qemu (set by default)
- Start the vm with {{{limactl start $name}}}
- Observe that limactl never reaches a successful boot
== Current solutions
Current solution that I know of
- Using qemu @7.1.0 works as intended.
- Manually build qemu from source
My system:
{{{
macOS 13.5.1 22G90 x86_64
Xcode 14.3.1 14E300c
}}}
