Clear Linux kernel panics at boot in qemu on macOS results

[sirredbeard]

In researching this issue, I found this.

Summary

Booting Clear Linux in qemu on macOS results in a kernel panic on the Clear Linux guest.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install qemu 2.11 via Homebrew
2. Configure a hard drive
   $ qemu-img create clearlinux.qcow 5G
3. Boot Clear Linux iso installer
   qemu-system-x86_64 -hda clearlinux.qcow -cdrom clear-20240-installer.iso -m 4000

Expected Results
Clear Linux can boot within a generic qemu environment, particularly given it's relationship with KVM project.

Actual Results
Clear Linux kernel panics on boot.

which cpu is qemu trying to emulate? normally I pass "-cpu host" as option

@fenrus75

I hadn’t specified a cpu, so it was defaulting to either qemu64 or base.

I tried with

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda clearlinux.qcow -cdrom clear-20240-installer.iso -m 4000 -cpu core2duo
... -cpu qemu64
... -cpu base

And got similar crashes.

But, you were correct, specifying something that matches the host works:

...-cpu haswell
...-cpu max

though worked well.

I am closing this issue because it seems the bug is in qemu, not Clear Linux.
