Cita Bug #1910696 “Qemu fails to start with error " There is no optio...” : Bugs : QEMU
I am running LXD 4.14 on a void system, got the following error, same error that I am citing

Show lxc info sid --show-log. Also what version of qemu are you using?

LXD currently requires >= 4.0 and < 6.0, so if you’re running qemu 6.0, that’d be the problem.

Versión qemu-6.0.0_2

Yep so version 6.0 of QEMU is most likely the problem.

That version of QEMU has several bugs that upstream are aware of and working on a fix for them. Once they are merged and backported to the 6.0 branch then the packager of your distro can update its version.

We are going to continue testing on QEMU 6.0 and raising issues as we find them. For users of the snap package it may be that we can manually backport some of the fixes too.

Does it still hold true guys? My virtual machines stopped working. I have noticed I have QEMU version 7.1.0, so I’m suspecting system update created problems. But interestingly I can spawn new virtual machines, only the old ones stopped working.

What lxd version?

It looks like you’ve double posted.
Let’s continue this discussion on VM won't start - empty console output instead.
