Package: debvm Version: 0.2.9 Hi,
some arm64 hosts unfortunately do not have KVM support: kvm [1]: HYP mode not available On those systems, running qemu with -cpu=cortex-a57 results in significantly improved performance compared to -cpu=max. For example: here is how long it takes debvm-run to reach the point where the hostname is being set when using -cpu=max: [ 34.838074] systemd[1]: Hostname set to <testvm>. Modifying /usr/bin/debvm-run to set CPU=cortex-a57 instead: [ 12.450115] systemd[1]: Hostname set to <testvm>. Please consider using CPU=cortex-a57 instead of CPU=max for arm64, and/or adding a command line switch to override the value of CPU. Clearly, if kvm support *is* present CPU=host keeps on being the best choice. Thank you for writing debvm!
