Hello,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 on PVE 7.4.16.

I try with installation cd, restoring working 9.1 installation using Clonezilla (disk to disk) every time same error - stuck on kbd1 at kbdmux0.

Default settings - CPU 2x2, numa enabled, BIOS Default SEABios, VirtIO SCSI single.
Try to change a lot of them include changing the version of PVE (from 7-5-6-4-3-2) - still the same issue.

What could be the reason of that and how to procedure?

Thanks in advance !
 
Hi necaccs,

include changing the version of PVE (from 7-5-6-4-3-2)
Is upgrading to PVE 8.1 and trying there an option for you?

There have been some threads about *BSD not booting (different symptoms) on some 8.0 versions (that did boot on 7.x), which have since been resolved.
 
For the moment cannot be upgraded to 8 version.
I think I try almost every setting for hardware.
Can you suggest some tricky method or something that I missed?
 
Find any solution on this? I am seeing the same problem and CPU is at 100% with any number of CPUs and memory uses is reported as maxed out.
In my base I imported a running FreeBSD image from ESX using the new ESX importer.
 
Kernel loading hangs on kbd1 at kbdmux0 (in my case it was on FreeBSD 9.3) and all cpus are at 100% load

Set the cpu emulation mode - core2duo

1. Add via proxmox gui for VM Serial Port (0)
2. Select it in Display
3. Turn off the VM
4. In the host console, launch the VM and connect to the console
qm start 100; qm terminal 100

5. In the bootloader menu, press 3 - “3. [Esc]ape to loader prompt"
6. Next type
Code:
set console=comconsole
boot

7. After loading, edit /boot/loader.conf (simple editor “ee /boot/loader.conf”)
Code:
console=comconsole
virtio_load="YES"
virtio_pci_load="YES"
virtio_blk_load="YES"
if_vtnet_load="YES"
virtio_balloon_load="YES"
virtio_scsi_load="YES"

Exit console using Ctrl+O
