Hi Fabian,
> exit_reason 33
From the Intel SDM, vol 3B Appendix C, this error is "VM-entry failure
due to invalid guest state".
These errors can be difficult to debug given the large amount of guest
state involved :(
However, looking at the state from your dump:
> tr desc[0] 0x0000000000000000/0x00000000/0x00000000
I believe you will have to set this. Here's the comment and relevant
code fragment from grub2-bhyve
grub-core/kern/emu/bhyve_hostif.c:grub_emu_bhyve_boot32()
/*
* XXX TR is pointing to null selector even though we set the
* TSS segment to be usable with a base address and limit of 0.
* Has to be 8b or vmenter will fail
*/
desc_access = 0x0000008b;
assert(vm_set_desc(bhyve_ctx, 0, VM_REG_GUEST_TR, 0x1000, 0x67,
desc_access) == 0);
grub2-bhyve has been able to load/boot multiboot images, so I suspect
the register settings in grub_emu_bhyve_boot32() are a good place to
start from.
later,
Peter.
