Hello, For the purpose of the Subject: there is a tutorial at IBM.com: https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/running-x86-64-containers-mac-silicon-m1... I've followed this tutorial, with a small exception, see below. The first step is to 'init' the machine with: $ podman machine init --image-path ~/yourFedoraImageFolder/fedora-coreos-39.20231204.3.3-qemu.x86_64.qcow2.xz intel Extracting compressed file: intel_fedora-coreos-39.20231204.3.3-qemu.x86_64.qco… Image resized. Machine init complete To start your machine run: podman machine start intel Which worked fine. Now, before starting the machine, the tutorial asks to remove the following lines from the config file ~/.config/containers/podman/machine/qemu/intel.json: "-machine", "q35,accel=hvf:tcg", "-cpu", "host", These line are not there 1:1 and I removed these lines: $ diff .config/containers/podman/machine/qemu/intel.json .config/containers/podman/machine/qemu/intel.json.saved2 6a7,12
"-accel", "hvf", "-accel", "tcg", "-cpu", "host",
which seems to me correct to remove the HVF QEMU accelerator which only is supported on x86 chips. Starting the machine now with: $ podman machine start intel Di 16 Jan 2024 12:23:33 CET Starting machine "intel" Waiting for VM ... hangs for ever and the QEMU process has 100% CPU utilization: top PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #WQ #PORT MEM PURG CMPRS PGRP 10802 qemu-system- 99.6 23:09.43 8/1 0 27 163M 0B 0B 10800 Any ideas?
