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?

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.
