From ff7c98a9415f3d61d026002921dfc836ce232bcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claudio Fontana Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2024 22:37:46 +0100 Subject: target/s390x: improve cpu compatibility check error message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit some users were confused by this message showing under TCG: Selected CPU generation is too new. Maximum supported model in the configuration: 'xyz' Clarify that the maximum can depend on the accel, and add a hint to try a different one. Also add a hint for features mismatch to suggest trying different accel, QEMU and kernel versions.
