Hi list,
i've a problem running freebsd as a guest on linux+kvm. The only problem
is that sometimes, when I boot the system it dies and this happens also
if I run the vm with and without -nographic option. Using the qemu GUI I
can see the it stops on the boot loader menu after the countdown and the
only mode to resume the system is reboot the vm. I've reduced the
autoboot delay to 1 without no result.
Someone know something about this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
This is exactly how to *not* ask a question.
Please take the time to read this very informative article:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise
For instance, you've omitted important information such as:
- linux version
- qemu version
- freebsd version
- freebsd error message when "it dies", if any
- KVM configuration options (disk mode and such)
We've been running FreeBSD 7 then 8 as a guest in Debian linux/KVM for
over 3 years now for our pre-production environment and are very happy
with it.
Please post some more details, that we might be able to actually help.

True, I'm sorry, too few informations.
The host system is Slackware64 Linux 13.37
QEMU emulator version 0.14.0 (qemu-kvm-0.14.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008
Fabrice Bellard
FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3
kvm option: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -pidfile $PIDFILE -cpu host -smp
$NCPU -m $MRAM -k $KB -enable-kvm -drive
file=$IMAGE,media=disk,index=0,cache=writeback -net
nic,model=$NICMODEL,macaddr=$MAC -net
tap,ifname=$TAP,script=no,downscript=no -runas $USER -monitor
unix:$SOCKET,server,nowait -nographic -daemonize
There are not errors. When there is the countdown it seems to die.For
example it stops to 9 seconds or 6 and stop (die) No boot line, only the
boot loader menu blocked. To avoid this
I want say that freebsd work very well under kvm, the problem is
presented every 2/3 startup of this virtual machine.
What disk format do you use, with KVM ?
QCOW2, RAW, VirtIO ?
We're running with QCOW2 here, emulating IDE drives and we don't have
any problem.

I'm using QCOW2.
For ide drives do you give -hda?
Info: if I give Enter during the countdown, it starts, if i leave the
countdown to finish, it crash.
But running with -nographic there isn't sense to give "enter"
Leaving delay boot to 10 sec, always block. Set delay boot to 1, it give
me some "crash".
There is a possibility to run directly the system instead print the
menu? I must install lilo/grub?
Thanks in advance.
