[Users] How to setup FreeBSD 8.3 Guest on oVirt 3.3

[Dresel Christopher]

Sure already tried that - IDE, no Ethernet at all, everything related to VirtIO disabled - no success.

Quoted from the forum:

"It has nothing to do with the virtio driver. It is a more deeply rooted problem inside KVM in its emulation of CPU's over Intel chipsets in combination with *BSD amd64."

As I already virtualized pfSense with an older Version of Intel Chipset (Sandy Bridge) with KVM and Hardware Virtualization I really think it's related to the newer Haswell chipset. The same configuration with an i386 ISO build works.

Best Regards,
Christopher

I'm pretty sure you can't disable hardware virtualization on a vm basis.
Btw, does FreeBSD boot if you use an IDE disk and e1000 NIC (did go quickly through the proxmox forum thread and issues seem to be virtio related)? This will decrease performance for sure, but maybe it's sufficient.
My Solaris vms are for compiling and Puppet module tests, so IDE and
e1000 emulated devices are fine for me.
