I have a bunch of Virtual Machines in a Ubuntu 18 Guest machine. Until recently they have all been working without any problem. However after I restartet one of the Guests(also Ubuntu) it is now not starting back up. The libvirt log does have nothing out of the ordinary, If I mount the guest image the last log entry is from the shutdown. After starting the guest there is 0 CPU usage for this machine and very little and constant memory usage. virsh shutdown Guest has no effect. There where no changes or updates before this happend.

The images are in a zfs pool and have hourly snapshots, however those are also not booting anymore.

I really don't know how to debug this anymore, there is not a single error message.

I am thankful for any help.

Compiled against library: libvirt 4.0.0
Using library: libvirt 4.0.0
Using API: QEMU 4.0.0
Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.11.1

Look at the VM console. – Michael Hampton Feb 01 '21 at 21:08
I did and did not get a single line in response – Apfael Feb 01 '21 at 21:21
What? Is the screen blank? What do you see when you reset the VM? Take screenshots using the Take screenshot menu item. – Michael Hampton Feb 01 '21 at 21:37
So you see the qemu process running, but the console is blank? Try starting from an installer image or live image to check. – Zrin Feb 11 '21 at 18:11
