Hi all, The projects/bhyve_svm branch is ready to be merged to HEAD. This branch contains patches to bhyve to enable it to work on AMD processors with SVM/AMD-V hardware extensions[1]. Pretty much any AMD processor since 2010 will have the features required by bhyve. bhyve on AMD supports (almost) all the features available with Intel [2]. All guest OSes supported on Intel are supported on AMD. All the bhyve-related utilities function similarly on both Intel and AMD platforms [3]. The patch against HEAD revision 273066 is available for review and = testing: https://people.freebsd.org/~neel/bhyve/bhyve_svm.diff [Neel=92s web = directory] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization [2]: bhyve doesn't support PCI passthru on AMD at this time [3]: bhyvectl has grown some processor-specific options Thanks and regards, Peter, Neel & Anish[akgupt3@gmail.com]=
