Hi, just tried to change the machine type to q35 but cannot get ip configurations after that and the boot stuck at :

Code:
A start job is running for wait for network to be configured

My network configuration on hardware is virtio bridged to vmbr1 and the OS is Ubuntu 22.04.

When trying to change the machine back to i440fx everything works OK. Why i happens?

q35 is a different virtual mother chipset, if your ubuntu is using predictable nic name, based on pci address,

it's really possible that the nic name have change.


maybe remove the nic first, reboot on q35, then readd the nic.
