https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200468 Bug ID: 200468 Summary: emulators/virtualbox-ose: hangs when using nmdm as serial device Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: vbox@FreeBSD.org Reporter: olgeni@FreeBSD.org Assignee: vbox@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(vbox@FreeBSD.org) Created attachment 157176 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=157176&action=edit Serial device fix When using nmdm(4) as a serial device, a VirtualBox VM will not start until the corresponding nmdm(4) peer device is open. For example, if you configure a test_vm like this: VBoxManage modifyvm test_vm --uart1 0x3F8 4 --uartmode1 /dev/nmdm0A it will hang at boot forever until /dev/nmdm0B is accessed. It possibly happens on actual serial devices too, but I don't have one to test. This case is already handled for Linux so we just have to expand the check to cover FreeBSD too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
