Subject: [PATCH] Use -cpu max instead of -cpu host
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 14:50:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250814125026.193853-2-hi@alyssa.is> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250807-no-require-kvm-v1-1-5dec3fbaef7b@gmail.com>
-cpu host doesn't work if KVM isn't available. This should do the
right thing in both cases.
Fixes: 0f2d3c7 ("Makefile: add run target to test with QEMU")
Fixes: 3ebad5c ("run-vm.nix: add for running installer test VMs")
Fixes: eaafee7 ("Makefile: add run target")

Demi, could you please check whether this solves the problem for you on
Qubes OS? I'd prefer to do it this way if it works, because it lets
QEMU take care of the problem rather than our script.
