Indeed? I virt-manager, I don't see a second serial port. In either case,
only the one showing up in the VM as ttyS0 is being used. But thanks for
making me look, I discovered that the machine on the Intel host still
used emulated SCSI instead of VirtIO für the main disk. I changed that.

In Virt-Manager, both machines don't look THAT different tbh. I verified
the XML and the differences are not big at all.

Do you want me to try different vCPU types? Currently the VM is set to
"Opteron_G3", would you recommend a different vCPU for the host having a
"AMD GX-412TC SOC" host CPU?

Greetings
Marc
