After installing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Windows 11 and Rocky Linux with QEMU 7.0 (qemu-system-aarch64), VM does not restart and freezes. I myself close QEMU with CTRL+C. As a result, it either does not see the HDD or OVMF does not work at all.

Note: With ITS turned on, Windows crashes while booting, but Linux distributions work fine. Also, ITS works with the following warning:

warning: ITS KVM: full reset is not supported by the host kernel

My parameter:

qemu-system-aarch64 -m 2G -cpu host -accel kvm -device usb-ehci -device intel-hda  -M virt-6.1,its=off -smp 8 -device ramfb -device usb-kbd  -device usb-mouse -device usb-tablet -drive file=/sdcard/rocky.iso,media=cdrom,if=none,id=drivers -device usb-storage,drive=drivers -device ahci,id=ahci  -accel 3d -drive id=disk,file=/sdcard/w11.raw,if=none -device ide-hd,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0 -chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/data/local/tmp/ubuntu/emulated_tpm -tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm -pflash /sdcard/flash0.img -pflash /sdcard/flash1.img

  • Did you ensure the WIN11 system thinks it has UEFI, secure boot, and TPMV2 available to it?

  • I'm using Redmi Note 10S and I can already install them all. I already used it at 11 but that's not my problem. My VM freezes when I try to reboot. As a result, OVMF, doesn't see my RAW disk at all, or OVMF it doesn't work at all. So it's softbrick or hardbrick.

  • You may wish to consider VMware Pro (as I posted in my answer). VMware is more flexible and adaptable to newer operating systems.

With ITS turned on, Windows crashes while booting,

There is quite a bit of work to install Windows 11 in QEMU because of the significant requirements of Windows 11.

(If you need a Windows 11 VM, consider VMware Professional V16. VMware has a much easier setup for Windows 11).

Please see:

Install Windows 11 in QEMU

You’ll need to have QEMU 4.0 or higher installed to get TPM 2.0 emulation. The other hardware minimum requirements for Windows 11 include 4GB RAM and a 64GB hard drive.

You’ll need to download the Windows 11 ISO and mount it and go through the setup process.

Since QEMU is command-based, the steps for this virtualization software are different than the others.

First you’ll need to create your virtual machine image and we’ll use a 64GB disk size since that’s the minimum requirement for Windows 11:

ENABLE TPM AND SECURE BOOT IN QEMU Now you need to create a temp directory for the SWTPM simulator and create the socket in TPM2 mode to use with these commands:

mkdir /tmp/emulated_tpm swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/emulated_tpm --ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/emulated_tpm/swtpm-sock --log level=20 --tpm2

Next, you’ll need to start your guest VM with the TPM options:

qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ~/qemu-images/win11.img -boot d -m 4096 -enable-kvm \ -chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/tmp/emulated_tpm/swtpm-sock \ -tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0
