Re: centos 4 bhyve guest

2014-11-21 Thread Peter Grehan

  Does anyone have an experience on booting CentOS 4 as a bhyve guest?


 This should now be partly fixed with grub2-bhyve 0.30 (the latest 
version in ports).


 I've tried the 4.8 x86_64 install DVD and booted with a single vCPU 
guest. SMP isn't yet working.


 4.8/i386 has issues with the atpic and detecting PCI devices that I'm 
still looking into.


 With 4.8, I used ahci-hd for disks since there seemed to be sporadic 
issues with virtio-blk.


 In addition, 5.11 now seems to work fine, UP/SMP and with virtio-blk.

later,

Peter.

 Tried CentOS 7.0 and 6.6. No difference. FreeBSD runs in my bhyve OK,

If you read the handbook, it first does an 'ls' on the cd. You have to
load files that actually exist, they might have slightly different names.

The instructions in the handbook were based on how the files were named
on a CentOS 6.5 cd, 6.6 might be slightly different.

Hi Alex,

Ok I'm dumb — my earlier issue was a result of failing to
create the backing HDD. Now it boots and loads CentOS 6.6
fine. Try updating grub-bhyve?

Best,
Conrad

I believe only CentOS-6.x and newer are currently supported.  I am in a
similar predicament where I'd like to port some development CentOS5.x
systems and am unable to.

I'd be keen to learn what issues exist preventing this and see if I can
help in any way to get older CentOS systems supported.

cheers,

  Does anyone have an experience on booting CentOS 4 as a bhyve guest?
  I want to convert one of my very old servers which requires CentOS4
  because of commercial software to a virtual machine, but I got the
  following error when I tried to boot CentOS-4.8-x86_64-bin1of5.iso:


 Just tried that ISO and got the same result (a triple-fault). I'll 
look into it.


later,

Peter.
