best branch for bhyve on AMD?
Greetings, I am running FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE r261733 amd64 on a system with an AMD Brisbane CPU: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ (2835.16-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = AuthenticAMD Id = 0x60fb2 Family = 0xf Model = 0x6b Stepping = 2 Features=0x178bfbffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT Features2=0x2001SSE3,CX16 AMD Features=0xea500800SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,RDTSCP,LM,3DNow!+,3DNow! AMD Features2=0x11fLAHF,CMP,SVM,ExtAPIC,CR8,Prefetch kldload vmm gives these kernel messages: amd_iommu_init: not implemented amdv_init: not implemented amdv_cleanup: not implemented module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vmm, 0x80f5abf0, 0) error 6 and # bhyveload -m 256 -d /dev/zvol/bigz/bhyvetest bhyvetest gives: vm_create: Device not configured Am I right in thinking that bhyve support for AMD processors is not yet in -STABLE? If so, is there working code for bhyve under AMD anywhere? Where? -HEAD, projects/bhyve_svm or somewhere else? Is it considered experimental, stable, or something in between? Should it work with the above processor? Looking forward to trying bhyve on this hardware. Thanks!

Hi John, Am I right in thinking that bhyve support for AMD processors is not yet in -STABLE? Yes, that's correct. If so, is there working code for bhyve under AMD anywhere? Where? -HEAD, projects/bhyve_svm or somewhere else? projects/bhyve_svm Is it considered experimental, stable, or something in between? I'd home somewhere on the stable side of experimental. I've had good success with it on a Phenom II, but looks like at least 1 user has had issues. Should it work with the above processor? I think your model may be predate the h/w nested paging support that bhyve relies on (EPT, or RVI in early AMD terminology). The list of AMD CPUs with RVI is at: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU120AMDRVICPUsHyperVWin8.aspx ... and the Athlon 64 X2 isn't on that list :( 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
