Problem starting Whonix 14 after upgrade? Unable to write to /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/machine.slice/machine-qemu ...

I had the exact same problem on Debian 9 with custom Linux 5 kernels that I compiled myself.

I recompiled the latest stable 5.0.6 kernel following instructions here (although I was also unable to find all exact options).

Still doesn’t work.

Following @HulaHoop’s instructions I edited out the

 <blkiotune>
    <weight>250</weight>
</blkiotune>

In the VM settings. Works fine now.

So probably a bug/regression in the new kernel?
