I noticed the following, but do not make any conclusion yet: * The two failing OBS logs have qemu setup with: -smp 8,threads=4 * If I create ppc64le guest on my local power8 PKVM 2.1.1 I do have failure when qemu setup with: -smp 8,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=4 I do passed tests when qemu setup with: -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=8
