  1. Unable to input on Windows system

    Currently, a driver modification to support Protected VM is required. This driver is not yet publicly released.

    Driver source code: Droid-VM/gunyah-guest-drivers-windows

    Related documentation: [Windows Installation Guide](Windows Installation Guide)

  2. Linux system freezes during startup, stdio log shows host access to lent memory region at 0xXXX

    Due to the characteristics of Protected VM, SWIOTLB is required. However, some kernels lack this feature. Replacing or recompiling the kernel will solve the problem (you can also use the kernel built into DroidVM).

    The config item causing the problem: CONFIG_DMA_RESTRICT_POOL

    More information

  3. During startup, the system disconnects and exits, resulting in the stdio logs showing page fault at 0xXXXX, attempt: -12 and vcpu hit unknown error: Out of memory (os error 12).

    The system's large page memory has been exhausted. Please use the pre-allocated module

    Please use this module with caution, as it may cause kernel crashes and bricking on a small number of machines.

    Because this module reserves memory (default 2GiB), please disable and stop the module when not in use.

  4. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 fails to boot

    The 8 Gen 3 fails to boot normally due to a part of the kernel's Gunyah memory allocation issue (8E and later versions refactored the Gunyah code). It may boot successfully with a small probability.

    If you can compile the kernel, you can try to fix it using the following patch.
