AMD bhyve fails linux unless console is stdout.

2018-06-18 Thread Zaphod Beeblebrox
I have an AMD "hammer" (9590) running a bhyve with a VM that used to be a "droplet". All is good if I run "vm -f start " it works. That is: the console is attached to stdin/stdout of the vm command. If, however, I start without the -f, I get the linux kernel "not" booting with output of: [

remember that the quoted problem is spit out by the guest, not the host. That said, the 'top' line on the frozen bhyve was: 29380 root 22 200 1060M 928M kqread 5 218:32 399.30% bhyve ... indicating that the bhyve had almost all it's memory... and the system had also 500M free

I tried the -p 0:1 -p 1:2 -p 2:3 -p 3:4 bit. If I may say, it felt a little "chunky" ... but that could have just been a perception. Anyways... still hung the guest. On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 6:58 PM, Peter Grehan wrote: > Hi, > > What should be next steps here? This is

Heh. VirtualBox has (in my experience) been buggy as heck. Beyond buggy as heck. I have 3 virtualization platforms at my disposal (and the host here is win 7). VirtualBox, VMWare and Windows Virtual PC. I can report that under VirtualBox, every major type of guest caused stability problems
