Hi Alfred,
What will happen is during the extract process the install will hang. No
network IO happens and on the host I see bhyve's CPU hit 100% for each
core assigned.
For reference this is the bhyve command invoked via Neel's "vmrun.sh".

I tried to gdb the bhyve process but that was bad news. Is there a set
of steps usually taken to help pinpoint what is going on when we this
state?
Does the previous snapshot (r247640) work better ? The relevant
change there was the recent virtio guest MFC.
Some things to try:
- boot bhyve uniprocessor
- is the bhyve process performing any disk i/o, or is it just
spinning ?
the bhyvectl program can dump a lot of vm state - you can try
something like
sudo bhyvectl --get-all --cpu=0 --vm=<your vm name>
sudo bhyvectl --get-all --cpu=1 --vm=<your vm name>
If you do this repeatedly, it may be possible to see some patterns
e.g. counters incrementing, %RIP values being the same etc.
Hmm, I keep seem to be getting this:
/usr/home/alfred # bhyvectl --get-all --cpu=0 --vm=freebsd-stable
lowmem 0x0000000000000000/536870912
highmem 0x0000000100000000/0
errno = 16
/usr/home/alfred # bhyvectl --get-all --cpu=1 --vm=freebsd-stable
lowmem 0x0000000000000000/536870912
highmem 0x0000000100000000/0
errno = 16
Regarding gdb and bhyve, for debugging I usually start bhyve under
gdb in the foreground and send output to another pty with the gdb "set
tty" command (note the other pty should have a 'sleep 100000' command
run to avoid input being captured) - this way, a ctl-C in the gdb
session will drop into gdb and allow breakpoints to be set etc.
I will try this next. Thank you.
later,
Peter.
