Re: [pfSense] problems running pfSense 2.1.5 running in a kvm session

If you know vi commands, you can type:

sudo virsh edit pfSense  (substitute the actual VM name)

Look for the line like:

hvm

This line will be different depending on the version of KVM and the choices you 
made when you created the VM. The example above is from a working pfSense VM, 
but sometimes 
machine='pc-1.0' works too. 

Also, in Virt Manager, I usually select Processor > Configuration > Copy host 
CPU configuration, to give the guest all the features of the host's cpu. 
However, if this causes problems, selecting  'qemu64'  can work well for some 
systems.

By the way, although pfSense/freebsd does support virtio, you have to take 
steps to enable the driver. It's usually less work and more reliable to use 
e1000 nics.

[pfSense] problems running pfSense 2.1.5 running in a kvm session

2014-11-05 Thread Joe Landman

Hi folks:

  We are working on running pfSense in a VM on a machine for a trade 
show.  The installation went fine, then I rebooted.  The attached image 
shows where it died.  Any thoughts on this?  Is this known not to work?


  I am using two bridges on a linux host, one each for 
internal/external network.  Using the virtio network device.  I'll try 
others, but would welcome any thoughts on this.


  VM config is:

2x virtual cores
4GB ram
8GB disk
2 nets, one WAN, one LAN, both virtio based

  Used the pfSense LiveCD 2.1.5 to install

  Thanks!
