Hi everyone,

I'm having problems with my recently upgraded OpenBSD-6.5 virtual
machine hosted at Bytemark.

The VM freezes about once a week, requiring a hard reboot. During the
freezes, I can connect to bytemark's web-based VGA console thingy and
see the login prompt, but the system is not responsive to key-presses.

After a hard reboot, there's nothing in the logs to give clues, and
there are no kernel messages or ddb prmopt at the time of the freeze. I
appreciate that this is not a lot of info to go by :\

I spoke to reyk@ about this and he suggested it could be the new pvclock
driver, however the issue persists with this driver disabled.

The VM did not freeze prior to upgrading to OpenBSD-6.5 (i.e. it was
fine with 6.4).

As I recall, Bytemark qemu+kvm to host virtual machines.

I also posted on the Bytemark forum on th offchance that someone knows a
workaround, but I'm not holding my breath...

Any ideas?
