Host crashes on all installs

[garrettboone]

I am brand new to bhyve but have already established a FreeBSD 13.1 host and can do jails and linux compat without any problems. I wanted to run a Debian or Ubuntu VM, and am getting stuck.

I was trying to run bhyve in a jail. I have also tried running it on the host, but the follow results are the same either way (which I think is expected, although I don't know what the problem is):

I can get a grub loader to show, but can't get past it. I experimented with different settings, tried uefi, etc. I've tried with install -f and without. But, I get a blank screen. I saw the issue about setting screen resolution, though ultimately, even when I try to follow the testvm example with a FreeBSD 13.1 iso, it causes the host to crash before I can even finish typing vm console testvm.

Any idea what might be causing this?

From the testvm log:

From the last Debian attempt:

I am running a droplet at Digital Ocean, 8GB RAM, 4vcpu. I have looked through system logs and jail logs but cannot find anything else. I suspect it has something to do with the droplet.

# dmesg | grep Features2

I got a bit further by adding serial_boot="YES" and hititng 3 on testvm.

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK set boot_serial=NO
OK boot

But then droplet hangs again.

Couldn't figure it out, closing.
