After creating a clone of VM (Debian-12), the clone does not start because it can't mount its virtual hard disks. The original VM has a virtio device: <target dev="vda" bus="virtio"/> <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x04" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/> But the clone gets mistakenly a SATA device: <target dev="sda" bus="sata"/> <address type="drive" controller="0" bus="0" target="0" unit="0"/> In Debian the system partition is configured as: /dev/vda5 /mnt/btr_pool ... Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clone a VM (in GNOME-Boxes) 2. Select the clone and start it 3. Check if it is starting Actual Results: A Debian-12 clone does not start, because of the different device configuration. A Fedora Silverblue clone does start despite of the different device configuration. Expected Results: A clone of a VM should have the same device configuration as the original and should boot without errors (provided the original could do it).
Host System is: Fedora 41 Beta Silverblue with layered packages boxes and virt-manager.
Thanks for the report! Since GNOME devs tend to prefer upstream tickets, I've filed https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/issues/1108 for you - if you could look out for any follow up there it'd be great.
