BTW - tests on P8 are already good on my side, and since the request from IBM came fro P9 I have to assume it will be good there. But e.g. cross release migration X->B and such I had tested explicitly to be sure.
That said, please be aware that this will be a remaining "itch" for you at the current solution. If somebody had guests on pre-Xenial it will have HTM enabled by default. If those users migrate to a P9 system on Bionic they will still carry the feature of HTM being enabled and run into the issue, but there is nothing we can do about it other than getting your kernel fix completed and integrated. But I thought I make you aware to be sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752026 Title: Ubuntu18.04:POWER9:DD2.2 - Unable to start a KVM guest with default machine type(pseries-bionic) complaining "KVM implementation does not support Transactional Memory, try cap-htm=off" (kvm) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1752026/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
