iohyve: Install hangs when install ubuntu 15.10

Hi,

I’m on newly updated stable FreeNAS 9.10, and I’m trying to run ubuntu 15.10 server edition in a bhyve.

$ iohyve version
iohyve v0.7.3 2016/01/08 Bear in a Datacenter Edition

After some basic setup:

$ kldload vmm
$ kldload ndm
$ iohyve cpiso path/to/ubuntu-15.10-server-amd64.iso 
$ iohyve setup pool=NAS
$ ln -s /mnt/iohyve /iohyve

I now have:

$  zfs list | grep -i iohyve
NAS/iohyve                                                   622M  1.02T    96K  /mnt/iohyve
NAS/iohyve/Firmware                                           96K  1.02T    96K  /mnt/iohyve/Firmware
NAS/iohyve/ISO                                               621M  1.02T   621M  /mnt/iohyve/ISO
NAS/iohyve/ISO/ubuntu-15.10-server-amd64.iso                  96K  1.02T    96K  /mnt/iohyve/ISO/ubuntu-15.10-server-amd64.iso

Then to create a guest:

$ iohyve create devbox 50G
$ iohyve set devbox loader=grub-bhyve os=debian ram=2048M cpu=2

$ iohyve getall devbox
Getting devbox props...
os           debian
boot         0
ram          2048M
name         devbox
cpu          2
loader       grub-bhyve
tap          tap0
con          nmdm0
description  Sun
bargs        -A_-H_-P
autogrub     \n
persist      1
size         50G

At this point, I try to run the install command, and it never exits:

$ iohyve install devbox ubuntu-15.10-server-amd64.iso 
Installing devbox...

I can see some processes running, which never exit:

3785  0  S+   0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/iohyve install devbox ubuntu-15.10-server-amd64.iso
13829  0  R+   0:10.83 grub-bhyve -m /iohyve/devbox/device.map -r cd0 -M 2048M ioh-devbox

Am I doing something wrong?

For comparison, if I use ubuntu-14.04-server-amd.iso, it seems to work.

Well done! There would be no war in the world if all GitHub issues where opened with this verbosity. Thank you.

Above you used kldload ndm when the command is kldload nmdm, might explain why the console is empty. Although it does sound like you are getting part way through the installer.

I ran the same config as you mentioned above with success. Installed on a traditional partition scheme (no LVM), booted 2nd and 3rd time without issue. That said I did have to run iohyve destroy devbox after the installer finished and attempted to reboot. This deletes the VMM instance.

Also there is a new version of iohyve, 0.7.5.
