Hi FreeBSD-stable, I'm having problems booting 8.1R on a KVM virtualised host backed on AMD hardware. It works flawlessly on Intel backed KVM. Please find attached the message I get on boot. This loops endlessly. Can anyone give me any advice on how to start tracking this down? I'm happy to give developers access to some paid instances on ElasticHosts where this problem occurs, if it helps debugging it. (It works fine in ElasticHosts' lon-p and sat-p data centres, but not in lon-b, and Intel vs. AMD is apparently the difference). -- Best Regards, Luke Marsden Hybrid Logic Ltd.

Hi all, Thanks for your responses.> 1. Please, build your kernel with debug symbols. > 2. Show kgdb outputI will build a debug kernel as per your instructions and post the results as soon as I can. Likely in the next couple of days. I have secured us test hardware at ElasticHosts to debug this as necessary. As a reference point, 8.0R runs fine on this particular infrastructure: Linux KVM on AMD hardware. More detail to follow. Thank you. -- Best Regards, Luke Marsden Hybrid Logic Ltd.
