any idea if/when this code will be merged into -CURRENT?

I just stated playing with booting -CURRENT as a PV Xen guest with an NFS root, 
and I see a similar hang.

Basically, the kernel pulls in /sbin/init over NFS but keeps re-reading the 
last 8K of the file over and over and over...

Not sure if it's related to your issue?

will try, if I can get it compiled. There seem to be some hiccups at the moment.

not an option, because for various reasons I need to run FreeBSD as the host 
OS. But thanks for the suggestion.

ah, crud.

Xen is not an option either, because AFAIK FreeBSD still doesn't have dom0 
support. Is there any other virtualization option to look into?

I double-checked, and the message actually does show up in demsg even when I 
kldload from the loader - I just managed to miss it.

turns out that because I used the loader to kldload vmm.ko, I did not see the 
following error message, which is thrown when loading it when booted:

vmx_init: processor does not support desired primary processor-based controls

The CPU in this box reports as:

Shouldn't this be sufficient to support bhyve?

bhyveload "vm_create: Device not configured"

2013-04-30 Thread Eggert, Lars
Hi,

I'm starting to play around with bhyve, and I'm trying to byhveload a disk 
image that I otherwise use to netboot some headless servers. When I tried that, 
I get:

root@five:~ # bhyveload -d /home/elars/dst/rootfs test
vm_create: Device not configured

Google comes up empty with this error message. Any idea what could be causing 
this? I do have the vmm.ko loaded and the system is running a recent -CURRENT.

Thanks,
Lars
