VM won’t start after update from 6.13 to 6.14 on OrangePi with Debian 12

The, my qemu.log shows this:

qemu-system-aarch64: Addressing limited to 40 bits, but memory exceeds it by 9663676416 bytes

Can you show the content of /run/incus/ns1/qemu.conf?

Worth noting that there is an update rolling out in the next few hours which will almost certainly fix this for you, though that’s really just papering over the real issue, so I’d still appreciate the qemu.conf prior to updating.

Oh, that’s higher than I’d have expected…

Can you show incus query /1.0/resources too?

Oh crap, I found the issue in the logic :slight_smile:

Anyway, the update that will be available in the next hour will take care of the issue and I’ll send a proper fix to fix my mistake.

Waiting for the update! :smiley:

Thank you so much.
