Arch Linux UEFI Bhyve Setup

[Vincent Olivier]

Hi,

A new thread for this same target setup: https://twitter.com/MUP4/status/814595352112283649

Please note that the tap interface naming doesn’t follow the nomenclature in the diagram as I am just testing isolated aspect of the setup for now.

The « Cinq » FreeBSD 11 machine already the ALTNET non-UEFI (grub-bhyve) machine running Arch Linux. I wanted to try UEFI with the same Arch Linux distro but it doesn’t seem to work.

Here is the grub-bhyve command sequence that I used for the Arch Linux installer on the the ALTNET virtual machine:

zfs create -V4G -o volmode=dev bhyve/altnet

grub-bhyve -m /bhyve/altnet/setup/device.map -r cd0 -M 512M altnet < /bhyve/altnet/setup/grub.cfg

bhyve -A -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge -s 1:0,lpc -s 2:0,virtio-net,tap0 -s3:0,virtio-blk,/dev/zvol/bhyve/altnet -s 4:0,ahci-cd,/bhyve/archlinux-2016.12.01-dual.iso -l com1,stdio -c 1 -m 512M altnet

Here is its grub.cfg file:

linux (cd0)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201612 ro
initrd (cd0)/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img
boot

Here is its device.map file:

(cd0) /bhyve/archlinux-2016.12.01-dual.iso
(hd0) /dev/zvol/bhyve/altnet

Here is my adaptation of the above for the UNIFI UEFI virtual machine, just for the Arch Linux installer:

zfs create -V2G -o volmode=dev bhyve/unifi

bhyve -c 1 -m 512M -A -H -P \
	-s 0:0,hostbridge \
	-s 1:0,lpc \
	-s 2:0,virtio-net,tap1 \
	-s 3:0,virtio-blk,/dev/zvol/bhyve/unifi \
	-s 4:0,ahci-cd,/bhyve/archlinux-2016.12.01-dual.iso \
	-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
	-l com1,stdio \
	unifi

But when I run this, I get this:

Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD
UEFI Shell x86_64 v1
UEFI Shell x86_64 v2
EFI Default Loader
Reboot Into Firmware Interface
Boot in 1 sec.
rdmsr to register 0x34 on vcpu 0
Unhandled ps2 mouse command 0xe1
Unhandled ps2 mouse command 0x0a
Unhandled ps2 mouse command 0x01
Unhandled ps2 mouse command 0x41

And then it stalls. I waited max 2 minutes and then I did a "bhyvectl --destroy --vm=unifi” in another session. I tried different bhyve flags (-w, etc.) to no avail.

Is there hope for me?

Happy new year!

Vincent
