VM's freezes after 2-3 min while using virt-manager QEMU-KVM

***SOS***

Hello archies

i'm a linux noob especially arch

repo — core extras community

a fresh arch64 installation followed with xorg, libvirt, qemu, xfce4, xfce4-goodies, virt-manager,

guest OS — arch fedora

VM config — uefi 3GB 3vCPUs QXL cpu-model(host-passthrough*)

host machine — MBP,   needed kernmod are loaded kvm_intel kvm libvirtd virtio

first tried with xfce4 DE and then same with awesome WM

Note: same vm setups tried in debain 9 and fedora 26 as host; everything works pretty amazing without any glitch

but while using arch64 as host; vm hangs after a while [2-3 min] and i have to force shutdown it using virt-manager

i could make it a lengthy post by describing everything i have done while setting up host and vms  but i don’t think anyone would be intersted in that [need anything specific just ask, I NEED HELP]

if anyone got any idea of what i am talking about or had past experiences please help or point me to right direction

gone through arch wiki, forums installed & setup everything as mentioned but still nothing

search internet for tutorial followed but... nothing helped as every one is suggesting similar setups and their's are working out-of-the box

What about the other, useful kernel modules:

virtio-blk
vhost-net

What you could do, is boot into Debian, and see which kernel modules it has loaded, with the "lsmod" command.

You really should provide details on what exactly you did and you should remove the superflouus ***SOS*** from the beginning. Maybe post a journal excerpt any other terminal output that might be generated, details of your setup etc.etc.  Also you don't need to linebreak manually your post would be much more readable if you used linebreaks more sparingly.

Read the following, it should provide you with some guidance on which kind of posts we do expect:
