FreeNAS on Proxmox VM

[tincboy]

I'm not able to install FreeNAS on a 4GB, 4 Core VM based on Proxmox server
It just freezes at menu of FreeNAS
Any experiment running FreeNAS on VM ?

Should work just fine.
Are you positive that you have 04 cores available?

What disk type do you have the boot partition set to? Virtio is not a good choice BTW.

Works fine here but I would not recommend it. We have even installed it ones on a USB stick.
Use real hard ware for your NAS.

I installed the 32 bit version on a 4 core vm just fine , but when I'm trying to install the 64 bit version ,
As soon as I select install in the boot menu , It freezes.
here is my vm config file.

boot: cd
bootdisk: ide0
cores: 4
ide0: local:5350/vm-yyy-disk-1.raw,size=25G
ide2: local:iso/FreeNAS-8.3.0-RELEASE-x64.iso,media=cdrom,size=114562K
memory: 13000

net1: rtl8139=C2:2D:FB:9F:03:0C,bridge=vmbr1
onboot: 0
ostype: other

Not really helping you with you problem, but you may want to try openmediavault.

It uses a lot of the freenas codebase, but on a debian 6 base. So its should virtualize a lot better given its compatibility with virtio disk and network adaptors

Previously I was able to fix this issue by upgrading the Proxmox, But now in latest version 3 of Proxmox I have the same issue again,
Any help from Proxmox team?

When you say "it" freezes what do you mean?
The keyboard does not respond? Have you tried to closing the VNC window and re-opening it?

Hi,

could be related to this:
http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/16...ion-and-VirtIO-not-possible?highlight=pfsense

If FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD 8.3 this could be the reason for not working with AMD64 version but with I386 version.
