I was trying to load a FreeBSD 10 VM on my CentOS 6.4 machine, and it keeps hanging and not completing the boot. I have FBSD 9.x VM's running just fine, but if I try and load 10.x it's a no go. Attaching to the console using VNC, I see: gPXE (http://etherboot.org) - 00:04.0 C980 PCI2.10 PnP BBS PMM7FC0 at 20 C980 Booting from DVD/CD... CD Loader 1.2 Building the boot loader arguments Looking up the /BOOT/LOADER... Found Relocating the loader and the BTX That is it, at that point it just hangs. I have tried from 2G RAM to 6G RAM for the VM, and from 1 to 4 CPU's, but no effect. The FreeBSD lists said I should load a newer QEMU-KVM, that there are much newer releases but everything I have seen claims that is not a good idea, that RH does version numbering much differently. Has anyone run into this, or have any ideas on how to get past it, as I would love to load up the newest FBSD and give it a run as well.. --- Howard Leadmon
Do you have to use KVM? IIRC it runs fine under virtualbox. I think 10.2+ should work on xen but haven't tried it yet.

[CentOS-virt] Loading a FreeBSD 10 VM on QEMU-KVM..
Why 6.4 when 6.5 is out? Also, you haven't mentioned what type of storage you are using, have you tried both IDE and virtio?

I am not familiar with XSAVE, how can I set this when trying to load a new guest? I have been using virt-install to try and load the VM.. --- Howard Leadmon> -----Original Message----- > From: centos-virt-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-virt- > bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Bane Ivosev > Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 12:19 AM > To: Discussion about the virtualization on CentOS > Subject: Re: [CentOS-virt] Loading a FreeBSD 10 VM on QEMU-KVM.. > > try to turn off XSAVE cpu option for the guest. > > On 01/14/2014 04:52 AM, Howard Leadmon wrote: > > > > I was trying to load a FreeBSD 10 VM on my CentOS 6.4 machine, and it > keeps > > hanging and not completing the boot.
