Public bug reported:

On an arm64 as well as on amd64 I saw this behavior:

$ autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -v --arch armhf --release mantic
$ autopkgtest -U --apt-pocket=proposed -a armhf -s *.dsc -- qemu autopkgtest-mantic-armhf.img
autopkgtest [13:18:32]: starting date and time: 2023-09-20 13:18:32+0200
autopkgtest [13:18:32]: version 5.28ubuntu1
autopkgtest [13:18:32]: host mcbin; command line: /usr/bin/autopkgtest -U --apt-pocket=proposed -a armhf -s forensics-all_3.47.dsc -- qemu autopkgtest-mantic-armhf.img
qemu-system-aarch64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 3520 (/usr/bin/python3)
<VirtSubproc>: failure: timed out waiting for 'login prompt on serial console'
autopkgtest [13:19:33]: ERROR: testbed failure: unexpected eof from the testbed

When trying to boot into the image on an arm64 system with

qemu-system-aarch64 \
-machine virt -accel kvm -m 4G -smp 4 -cpu host,aarch64=off -nographic \
-object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
-device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,id=rng-device0 \
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,read-only=on,file=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_CODE.fd \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=eth0 \
-netdev user,id=eth0,hostfwd=tcp::8022-:22 \
-drive file=autopkgtest-mantic-armhf.img,if=virtio,format=qcow2

the last messages displayed are

EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Entering in SVC mode with MMU enabled
EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services...

qemu-system-aarch64 seems to be close to idling at less than 0.5 % CPU
load. So booting obviously stalled.
