Only pure ARMv8.0 virtualization is supported on ARM, the Virtualization = Host Extensions are not currently used. Hosting Linux=C2=AE guests or = FreeBSD guests with more than one vCPU requires VMX unrestricted mode = support (UG). The easiest way to tell if an Intel or AMD processor supports bhyve is = to run dmesg or look in /var/run/dmesg.bootfor the POPCNT processor = feature flag on the Features2 line for AMD=C2=AE processors or EPT and = UG on the VT-xline for Intel=C2=AE processors. END QUOTE I read that as: no implementation for running on ppc64 is available to even try to build. The source code for that would have to be created first. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
