Hi Pete,

Sep 10 03:25:01 bells kernel: vmx_init: processor does not support desired basic capabilities

^^^ This is what's causing the issues, and is covered in the first bug report I mentioned (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203994)

Would you be able to dump the MSRs for the FreeBSD guest as mentioned in the bug report ?

I also received this input from the ISP, they are running this kernel:
  4.15.0-47-generic #50~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP

 I'm now wondering if this is too old a kernel :(

reading through that ticket i set this in loader.conf:
hw.vmm.vmx.use_apic_vid=0

and verified via sysctl:
$ sysctl hw.vmm.vmx.cap.virtual_interrupt_delivery
hw.vmm.vmx.cap.virtual_interrupt_delivery: 0
$

since you mention this is a possible bug with KVM is there some useful information i can relay to my ISP (they are a BSD friendly vendor) that they can try on their end as a workaround, or perhaps something they ping the linux/kvm community about?

As above, this isn't the issue for this particular case: it manifests as a hypervisor guest immediately exiting when started.

later,

Peter.
