I=92ve been trying to get bhyve to work on a system with the following = specs: FreeBSD 10.0 64 bit ASUS P6T Deluxe Intel i7 920 According to what I=92ve researched my cpu should have the VT-D = extensions. However many users of this motherboard have complained = about ASUS not properly supporting VT-D with Xen and something about a = problem with tables getting corrupt due to a problem with the bios. On = the third link below which is the Xen wiki it even states that this = motherboard needs a bios update which is not available to the public. https://communities.intel.com/thread/28389 = http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=3D20090402224408018&SLanguage=3Den-= us&board_id=3D1 http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/VTd_HowTo I am curious though if this would be what would be causing my problem = with bhyve? I suppose I am willing to just by a new motherboard if so. =20= I can run kldload vmm and I see a bunch of text fly by and then = something about uhci interrupt problem. As soon as that happens the = messages repeats my network drops and no keyboard input. However the = message repeats and it doesn=92t appear that the system has fully locked = up otherwise. However on another system that works I notice that = kldload VMM does not show this information it just loads the module. Is there a way I can gather more logs somehow so that I can determine = what text is appearing before the uhci errors? Perhaps some kind of = dump procedure? Or is there a way I can confirm that freebsd can = properly see and utilize the VT-D extensions. VirtualBox runs fine with = the VT extensions enabled. I also made sure VirtualBox wasn=92t = installed or loaded before I tried bhyve. I=92ve tried to research for = a week or two before posting here. Joe Maloney
