Description Cornelia Huck 2021-12-10 11:43:55 UTC
The rhel-9.0.0 machine type needs to be added for aarch64.

Comment 1 John Ferlan 2021-12-10 21:06:11 UTC
How does this differ from existing bug 2022603?  Can we close this as a duplicate of that - being sure to update bug 2031043 with the (older) reference...

Comment 2 Eric Auger 2021-12-13 08:15:35 UTC
2022603 is about adding machine compat to allow migration of older machines (<= 8.5) between 8.5 <-> 9.0 which are not using the same upstream qemu code. This BZ is about adding a new machine type, ie. 9.0 for arm-virt and by the way remove 8.x ones, as per the discussion we had.
