Re: Bhyve on a Core i7-920
Hi Brando, Howdy folks, i have encountered a strange issue when i was trying to run CentOS 6.5 with bhyve on a server with 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD Installed: VM unrestricted guest capability required Error in initializing VM the machine has 48GB of ram, and the cpu is a i7 920 as stated in the subject of this email. It has the instructions required to run bhyve ( VMX and POPCNT, as they appear in the dmesg log and in the Intel's Ark: http://ark.intel.com/products/37147/Intel-Core-i7-920-Processor-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI?q=core%20i7-920 ). Is there something wrong with this CPU? The 920 aka 'Bloomfield' is a first-generation Nehalem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core#Core_i7 That particular model doesn't have support for 16-bit real mode/32-bit protected/unpaged mode (aka "flat"). This is required for MP support for FreeBSD, or Linux support, since grub starts Linux in 32-bit flat mode. The VT-x feature that enables supports for this is known as 'unrestricted guest', and was introduced in the Westmere microarch. It *may* be possible to get Linux working with grub-bhyve by adding support to start it directly in 64-bit mode, but it would be UP only. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Bhyve on a Core i7-920
Do you have VT-d enabled in your bios? A disturbingly large number of servers and workstations come set factory default with virtualization support disabled. -Daniel bRa B writes: > Howdy folks, > i have encountered a strange issue when i was trying to run CentOS 6.5 > with bhyve on a server with 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD Installed: > > VM unrestricted guest capability required > Error in initializing VM > > the machine has 48GB of ram, and the cpu is a i7 920 as stated in the subject > of this email. > It has the instructions required to run bhyve ( VMX and POPCNT, as > they appear in the dmesg log and in the Intel's Ark: > http://ark.intel.com/products/37147/Intel-Core-i7-920-Processor-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI?q=core%20i7-920 > ). > > Is there something wrong with this CPU? > > Thanks > Brando > ___ > freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
