Hi, I installed https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/202204091610Z/amd64/installation/cdrom/boot.iso on a freshly set up VM with the default settings, using VirtualBox 6.1.32 on Windows 11.
The installation went smooth, and NetBSD booted quickly when the VM had only 1 CPU configured. I shut down the VM, increased the CPUs to 4 and started the VM. Booting did not succeed, the last message is: [1.0369161] apcicpu3 at cpu3: ACPI CPU After that, the VM burns CPU cycles but does not proceed. After I stopped the VM forcefully and restarted it, booting continued to this message: [14.5656984] kern.module.path=/stand/amd64/9.99.96/modules [77.6403715] WARNING: system needs entropy for security; see entropy(7) The long delay between these messages looks unhealthy. At this point, ACPI shutdown worked though. On the next try, booting succeeded in almost no time. After "shutdown -r now", the next boot hangs after this message: [1.0080102] acpicpu3 at cpu3: ACPI CPU After configuring the VM to have 2 CPUs, booting succeeded quickly 5 times in a row. After configuring the VM to have 3 CPUs, booting stopped after "acpicpu2 at cpu2: ACPI CPU". Are these known problems? Roland
