I'm having an issue with OpenBSD guest systems. They install fine, but when it comes time to reboot I get:

Booting from Hard Disk...
Using drive 0, partition 3.
Loading
ERR X

Any suggestions?

  1. which install ISO do you use? (pls provide link to download)
  2. can you post you config of this KVM guest (see /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf)
I will test it in our labs (also with the upcoming 1.2 with KVM-85)
 
Here's the ISO:
http://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/i386/install45.iso

Config:
ame: worf
ide2: install45.iso,media=cdrom
smp: 2
vlan0: rtl8139=DE:46:78:5E:C7:9D
bootdisk: ide0
ide0: vm-102-disk.qcow2
ostype: other
memory: 512

I can get it to boot on another node in the cluster. It still doesn't fully boot in that case however, it just fails a little later.

I confirm that it does also not work on Proxmox VE 1.2 with KVM-85.

As it is also not listed here you can report the issue to the KVM project.
 
I have tried to migrate an OpenBSD 4.5 instalation from VmWare to KVM. During the boot I have an error with nvram.

Today I will try a clean installation.
 
I have exactly the same result with a new instalation with proxmox v1.3. But I haven't give up yet.......
 
Hi,

I am running PVE 1.4 with different kernels:

2 x OpenBSD 3.4 i386 on 2.6.18-1 (previously on 2.6.24-8 for ~60 days)
1 x OpenBSD 4.1 amd64 on 2.6.18-1 (previously on 2.6.24-8 for ~60 days)
1 x OpenBSD 3.6 i386 on 2.6.24-8 (running roughly for 70 days now)

Cant' say anything about 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 however but those above run partly heavy loads and hadn't had any hickup yet.

The last one even runs on a software raid (not supported setup).

Hope this helps,
Christoph
