I am not trying to run bhyve, bhyve is not crashing. FreeBSD 11 in my case (FreeBSD testBox.test.domain 11.0-STABLE FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #0 r312349: Fri Jan 20 12:29:17 GMT 2017 root@testBox.test.domain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/vnet-test amd64) is running on a Xen HVM, and as I am trying to attach bridge0 to any interface (either xn0, or epair0a, or so on), the server is crashing and rebooting. I had the line ifconfig_bridge0="addm xn0 addm epair0a up" on the /etc/rc.conf , and the server went into an infinite crash-reboot loop. What I would like to have, if possible, is running FreeBSD 11 stable on the server, use vnet/vimage for my jails so I can isolate each of them from one another. Currently I am building world with the patch suggested by Trond (started that before I read the mail from Andrey). But if that is unlikely to bring a solution, that would mean most people on VPS with jails that are using Xen are going to suffer from any upgrade to 11 (or having new servers running 11) -- which is definitely undesirable. If anyone would like me to run further test on the box, please let me know what you'd like me to run, and I can come back with the response. Having a reliable/stable solution is the objective from my end. Thanks to all for your suggestions/comments. Regards SK
