Re: current fails to boot on VirtualBox

Same here. Fails to boot on both my workstation and laptop, fell back to 8.99.33

    Hello,
    
    it seems latest -current amd64 kernel no longer boots on VirtualBox.
    
    Booting GENERIC from
    http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201902161050Z/amd64/binary/kernel/
    
    stops after detecting CPUs and acpiacad0. After CPU detection there is
    ERROR: 3591 cycle TSC drift observed.
    
    CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 1500X.
    
    I can break into ddb, bt command on all CPUs shows they are in idle_loop.
    It makes no difference if I configure only one CPU for VirtualBox.
    
    bt for cpu 0:
    ddb backtrace
    --- interrupt
    x86_stihlt
    acpicpu_cstate_idle_enter
    acpicpu_cstate_idle
    idle_loop
    
    bt for cpu1:
    x86_stihlt
    acpicpu_cstate_idle_enter
    acpicpu_cstate_idle
    cpu_hatch
    md_root_setconf
    
    
    Booting with -2 switch (no ACPI) gets a bit further, but then has other problems
    detecting devices.
    
    However a few days old GENERIC from
    http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201902131540Z/amd64/binary/kernel/
    
    does boot successfully. (But vioif is broken again, ifconfig just hangs)
    
    
    A lot older kernel (8.99.18, I don't have the exact date) works without
    problems.
