It's honestly kind of amusing how fast it is to boot up a Linux VM on vmm(4).

@cynicalsecurity Linux guests have been supported for a long time now, you just need to make sure GRUB is configured to do serial.

@brynet I tried back at 6.3, I think then forgot about… oops. Useful to know again!

@brynet With vmm I get random crashes of the vm or random vm hangs with it pegged to 100% cpu. Running Alpine on current (X1 6th gen). What distro are you running that works well?

@egtann This is just Ubuntu. I can't say I've noticed that lately, at least on AMD SVM. This is a Ryzen machine.

@brynet holy cow I can't even get to the installer for Ubuntu before it freezes up. Stuck on the installer boot menu.

@egtann I assume you're configuring the bootloader to use serial?

@egtann I'm pretty sure I tested Ubuntu works on an Intel Skylake laptop, are you on -current or 6.6 -release? Anyway, if you can reproduce it, send a mail to bugs@.

@brynet very well could be! Looking forward to the merge, then I'll test.
