Hi,

I encountered a bug in Arch Linux after kernel upgrade from 5.17.1-arch1-1 to 5.17.7-arch1-1, when libvirtd starts a kvm accelerated qemu vm. Downgrading to 5.17.1 fixes it.

Please find journal in attachment.

Thank you.

Daniel

Looks like the FPU XSAVE bug[1] that affects older CPUs, fix is pending[2].
