config: use current virt machine for qemu-arm - #1592
Merged
Conversation
The qemu-arm platform pins the QEMU 2.11 versioned virt machine while LAVA pulls kernelci/qemu:latest for every job. The image now contains QEMU 11.0.2, which no longer provides virt-2.11. QEMU exits before the kernel starts, and LAVA reports the resulting EOF as "Connection closed". This affects qemu-arm runners in both lava-cip and lava-collabora. Select the unversioned virt alias while retaining gic-version=3. This matches qemu-arm64 and keeps the machine selection compatible with the floating QEMU image instead of depending on an obsolete compatibility machine.
