This will need to be fixed for ARM -- the whole idea of there
being a sensible "default machine type" and it being the one
QEMU starts by default is pretty x86-centric. libvirt needs
to have support for specifying which machine to use.
Ah, libvirt does have support
for specifying one machine type.
I mean that libvirt set default according to QEMU's default setting,
and management tools are dependent on this default setting without
users' specified setting.
I tried to change the default setting according to ppc64 platform
in libvirt, but it is not accepted.
(There is consideration of changing the default ppc64
machine, as it happens; but in general you can't rely
on QEMU doing what you want if you don't tell it
specifically which board you wanted.)
I see. Thanks for your suggestion. :)
thanks
