CentOS - May 2014 - freebsd hangs when install on centos6.5

Hi, All

    The freebsd(version: 10.0, RC3) can't be installed as kvm guest based on
CentOS 6.5(kernel: kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64, qemu-kvm:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2
-2.415.el6_5.8.x86_64). When installing it, it always shows 'booting'
and
hangs.

    My cpu&memory information:
        CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz
        Mem:     132189664

    My qemu-kvm command:
        /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name testbsd -M rhel6.5.0 -enable-kvm -m
2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid
7f68743b-d725-4c7d-dc7e-9aa6712584b3 -drive
file=/home/vAPV/test.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=none
-vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4
--cdrom /home/downloads/FreeBSD-10.0-RC3-amd64-dvd1.iso


    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance..

Hi
I took the following note when installng freeBSD on VirtualBox:

Installation in VirtualBox:

from
http://www.freebsd.org/
get a boot-install CDROM and burn it to a disk, because mounting the ISO 
file at installation-start does not work with freeBSD, you get a 
kernel-panic immediately. As installation source give one of the 
freebsd.org webs, Also, it is useless to copy an entire distribution to 
a local disk, using this as installation source woun't work either.

Possibly it may help you also on kvm.

This is because of an issue that has been fixed in later linux kernels.
upgrading to the kernel-ml or kernel-lt from El-Repo or trying an operating
systems with a more advanced kernel such as Ubuntu or Fedora should fix it.
