Those messages may be present on VM start and may (or may not) be
harmless.

Do you mean that some VMs start after long time and some don't start at
all?  If a VM doesn't start at all then there should be some ERROR
message in the log.  If all the VMs eventually start sooner or later,
then it would be useful to see the whole piece of the log from the
initial VM.create call to the VM start.

And what do you mean exactly by the VM start?  Is it that a VM is not
booting in the meantime, is inaccessible, is indicated as starting or
not running in Engine, something else?
