I am having this issue as well and it appears to be linked to 10.11.4 as it worked on 10.11.3 on my desktop and still works on 10.11.3 on my laptop. My guess is that it is an Apple bug.

[NoEffex]

They indeed changed hypervisor.framework and I'm not certain exactly what. It is not a huge change when I did a binary diff on the library (/System/Library/Frameworks/Hypervisor.framework) but it definitely appears to have broken it. I would wager that it is Apple's fault, so I will just use the old framework until it is fixed hopefully before they release 10.11.4 (non-beta).

@jeremyhu I filed it under 24223377 and it was marked as a duplicate of 24073994

Should be fixed in the seed that just went out today.

[AntonioMeireles]

@jeremyhu THANKS!!!!!

@jeremyhu By the way, are there any plans on publishing Hypervisor source in foreseeable future? :(

[cbarratt]

@jeremyhu - Are you referring to a new OSX 10.11 beta seed?

[caarlos0]

Same issue here.

Any workarounds?

[jeremyhu]

Actually, my apologies. I think I may have spoken too soon. I was told the fix would be in seed 2, but looking into it a bit more, I think it isn't. Sorry, please sit tight.

@cbarratt Solved this issue on 15E33e :)

@jbergstroem Thanks fixed :)

I recorded screencast. See

@zchee what do I need to do to user the new version?

[zchee]

@caarlos0 Sorry, I am not good at English :( I didn't quite understand what you meant.

Could you explain it in more detail?

[caarlos0]

@zchee sorry..

as far as I understood, the issue is fixed, right?

I was wondering what are the steps to fix it in my machine... (I am with the latest xhyve version already)

[zchee]

@caarlos0 Sorry, I do not yet understand all :( Do you still have this problem occurs?

OS X builds 15E27e has a Hypervisor bug. OS X builds 15E33e fixed. Did you upgrade your OS X to 15E33e (OS X El Capitan v10.11.4 beta 2)? If you use OS X version is not 15E27e, It is not related to this problem.

(I am with the latest xhyve version already)

This issue is not related to the xhyve

[caarlos0]

@zchee oh sorry, it's me that is messing up... I thought it was a xhyve update, but it is an OSX update... so, yeah, I need to update my OSX :package:

sorry for the misunderstanding.

[zchee]

@caarlos0 :)

[cbarratt]

Annoyingly I'm on public beta rather than developer beta so I don't have any new updates :(

[caarlos0]

@cbarratt yeah me neither
