Hi everyone,
I am having trouble setting up a RTVM with ACRN and would be very grateful for your advice!

Software Versions:
ACRN Kernel v2.6
ACRN Hypervisor v2.6
SOS -> Ubuntu 20.04.3
Scenario Configuration and Launch Scripts:
I use a scenario configuration and launch scripts based on the industry scenario. I removed all VMs except for the ones corresponding to VM number 2 and 3 in the industry scenario. Apart from that, the scenario and launch scripts were not modified. My board configuration file, scenario configuration file, launch configuration file and the launch scripts can be found in the attachements in case they help in the understanding or solution of my problem.
Description of the Problem:
I have an image for the user VM with Ubuntu 20.04.3 and a preempt-RT kernel (5.10.52-rt47). When I use the image with the launch script number one (non-RTVM), the VM starts without problems. However, when I use the launch script number two (RTVM), I get no output (STDIO) at all from the VM, although I enabled kernel output to hvc0 by modifying the settings of GRUB and verified that I get output during start-up using the working launch script for the non-RTVM.
The standard output obtained when using both launch scripts can be found in output_launch_uos_id1.txt and output_launch_uos_id2.txt in the attachements. For the RTVM (number two), there is no more output after the last line, even after a few minutes. The machine gets loud and the fan spins very fast. Also, it is not possible to stop the VM with acrnctl. At that point, I have to power off the host machine the hard way.
Unfortunately, I did not figure out what the problem is after days of trying and also have no idea how best to approach the problem. I would really appreciate if you have a hint for me what the problem could be or what I should try out!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Christoph
