What were you trying to do that didn't work?
Use virt-install to install a guest on aarch64.
Some devices like graphic, video are missing in the guest on aarch64, but they exist on x86_64 . And tpm device exists on aarch64, but not on x86_64. There are inconsistent default behaviors on x86_64 and aarch64.
Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
virt-install-4.1.0-7.el10.noarch
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to reproduce
Execute below two commands on aarch64 and x86_64 respectively. They are most same, except --cpu mode.
The command on aarch64:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vmzd2 --hvm --accelerate -r 2048 --vcpus=2 --os-variant rhel9.4 --disk path=/var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-27-aarch64.qcow2,bus=virtio,format=qcow2 --network network=default,model=virtio --import --noreboot --noautoconsole --debug --cpu host-passthrough --check path_in_use=off
The command on x86_64:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n test_vm --hvm --accelerate -r 2048 --vcpus=2 --os-variant rhel9.4 --disk path=/var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-27-x86_64.qcow2,bus=virtio,format=qcow2 --network network=default,model=virtio --import --noreboot --noautoconsole --debug --cpu host --check path_in_use=off

The differences are:
Devices added on aarch64, but not on x86_64:
tpm device
Devices added on x86_64, but not on aarch64:
graphics, usb tablet , and video
The missing of watchdog and ps2 input devices are acceptable because they are not supported on aarch64.
Expected results
For those supported devices, virt-install should provide same default behaviors on both x86_64 and aarch64.
Actual results
