---Problem Description---
---Problem Description---
An L2 fails to boot inside an L1 when booted with a memory more than 128G and a VFIO device passthrough.

The issue is seen with both, when guest booted with virsh and as well as with a direct qemu cmdline.

Hello Seeteena, that for having raised this.
May I ask which Ubuntu releases are affected? Is it only 25.04 or 24.04 and newer (up to 25.04)?
(Tag 'targetmilestone-inin2510' is set, but release 25.10 is not open for development yet.)
