Can someone look at Bugzilla 192470 please?
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192470
We've not been able to repro this on E3-1220 v3, E5-2650, or E5-2609
v2 systems :(
Do you have any xsave-related tunables set in loader.conf ?
Do CURRENT guests work ? If so
Hi Denis,
"..Currently, bhyve only supports a serial console and does not emulate a
graphical console." - www.freebsd.org
How i can understand, i can not take graphical output from same virtual
mashines? This option is planned?
Think of it as a headless server with a serial console.
Hi Denis,
Does the API bhyve and where can I get documentation on it?
Not sure what you mean by the API: the libvmmapi library api, or the
user-kernel ioctls ?
In any event, the only documentation for both of these is in the
FreeBSD source itself.

Peter.

Hi Rudy,
uname:

Hi Rudy,
It is working now, I upgraded to:
FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #4 r270991M: Tue Sep 2 22:18:28 PDT 2014
Good to hear.
For some odd reason, nmdb was not part of 10.1-PRERELEASE, so my boot
scripts failed. Doh. The fix:
cd /usr/src/sys/modules/nmdm/ && make depend && make obj && mak
Hi Dan,
Is there a way to direct grub-bhyve to use the
centos:/boot/grub2/grub.cfg file ala some argument -- I scanned the
source and couldn't find a simple over-ride.
The Centos7 install I did put the grub2 config into /grub2/grub.cfg
grub-bhyve can be told to search in this directory with

Hi Nikolay,
Any reason why bhyve is not advertising indirect descriptors for virtio-net?
Indirect descriptors never seemed to make a lot of sense to me for
networking. It requires allocations at the end of the transmit path
which could potentially fail, or requires large amounts of prealloc
Hi Denis,
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192281
In what branch I can use the functionality of the modified nmdm.c ?
It's in CURRENT and should be in 10-STABLE very shortly.

Hi,
I'm trying to install Ubuntu Linux 14.10 as a guest in FreeBSD
11-CURRENT r272460 host. When I try to run grub-bhyve (version 0.23)
I see in console message: VM unrestricted guest capability required
Error in initializing VM
I've read a thread with the similar problem. As far as I understoo
> Is that means there is no way to install Linux as guest with current
grub-bhyve implementation and my hardware?
Yes, that's correct.

Hi Lars,
I just upgraded to r272468 and bhyve stopped working. When I start a VM

Aargh, looks like the recent ACPI-CA import caused this :( Working on
a fix now.

Are there any news/plans/progress with possibility to run Windows as

Hi Allan,
If/When bhyve gets the UEFI boot stuff to be able to do 'any OS' (from
my understanding, this is the approach that will be used for Windows),
would that remove the requirement for UG to boot Linux, if it was booted
via UEFI?
It cements the UG requirement even further: UEFI is a form
