[Bug 1915063] Re: Windows 10 wil not install using qemu-system-x86_64

[Babu Moger <1915063@bugs.launchpad.net>]

I remember seeing something similar before. This was supposed to be
fixed by the linux kernel commit.

commit 841c2be09fe4f495fe5224952a419bd8c7e5b455

kvm: x86: replace kvm_spec_ctrl_test_value with runtime test on the host

# git describe --contains 841c2be09fe4f495fe5224952a419bd8c7e5b455
v5.9-rc1~121^2~67

Problem seems to happen with EPYC-Rome model which exposes the feature
STIBP but not IBRS.

Did you guys  try "-cpu host"? It might work.

Title:
  Windows 10 wil not install using qemu-system-x86_64

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce
  install virt-manager and ovmf if nopt already there
  copy windows and virtio iso files to /var/lib/libvirt/images

  Use virt-manager from local machine to create your VMs with the disk, CPUs and memory required
      Select customize configuration then select OVMF(UEFI) instead of seabios
      set first CDROM to the windows installation iso (enable in boot options)
      add a second CDROM and load with the virtio iso
  	change spice display to VNC

    Always get a security error from windows and it fails to launch the installer (works on RHEL and Fedora)
  I tried updating the qemu version from Focals 4.2 to Groovy 5.0 which was of no help
