Bug ID: 288886
Summary: bhyve fails to start Fedora guest
Product: Base System
Version: 14.3-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bhyve
Assignee: virtualization@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: dwmw2@infradead.org
Running FreeBSD-14.3 on an Amazon EC2 c6i.metal instance I used a Fedora Cloud
image based
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/42/Cloud/x86_64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-Generic-42-1.1.x86_64.qcow2
and converted it to a raw image with qemu-img
It doesn't work. First time I try, this happens:
root@freebsd:/home/ec2-user # bhyve -c 2 -m 2048 -A -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge -s
1:0,virtio-net,tap0 -s 2:0,ahci-hd,Fedora-Cloud-Base-Generic-42-1.1.x86_64.raw
-s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio vm0
virtual machine cannot be booted
Second attempt (immediately after the first, repeating the same command):
root@freebsd:/home/ec2-user # bhyve -c 2 -m 2048 -A -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge -s
1:0,virtio-net,tap0 -s 2:0,ahci-hd,Fedora-Cloud-Base-Generic-42-1.1.x86_64.raw
-s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio vm0
vm exit[0]
reason VMX
rip 0x0000000000000000
inst_length 0
status 0
exit_reason 33 (VM-entry failure due to invalid guest state)
qualification 0x0000000000000000
inst_type 0
inst_error 0
Abort trap
root@freebsd:/home/ec2-user # sh: turning off NDELAY mode
