Proxmox 2.2 , Freebsd 8.3 AMD64 freezes can not start installation.

Hi Again...

Not enough sleep but some progress....

As i mentioned I also have a reference Intel Board ULTRA STABLE for PROXMOX.
The Board is a DH67BL and i decide to put in the i3-3220T.

After 2 BIOS upgrades the 0151 does not work even if Intel tells so.
The 0159 does and now things gets messed up.

First the BIOS prompted That your use is on own risk.

According to Intel this BIOS update full supports the i3-3220T , so very weird.

Now the errors starts to show up on proxmox 2.2 , when i do a init 0 , it just hangs.

So i put in my OLD i5-2500K and everything works fine again.

What I can conclude is that you just should stay away from the i3-3220T it had several
problems if you what to use proxmox full scale...

PS! Thanks for your post i helped a lot :)

Hi snowman66..

What do you exactly want to have ????

The test machine is not working after all my testing , but i can take a screenshot of how it looks later on.....

If you what setup files please specify which....

PS! Remember Kubuntu 10.4 , 12.4 in KVM was working fine and OpenVz on the Intel i3-3220T...
All the FreeBsd versions I have tried was a different story....

Hi Again...

Sitting with an I5-3570 ivy bridge , the same problem as with the i3-3220T...

I have downloaded Pfsense 2.01 AMD64 , as the test iso.

If i install it (without kvm) Hardware acceleration , i can install Pfsense.

If i after the install turn the hardware acceleration on , it hangs where the Pfsense
prompts for Info....

Try this:

Go to your Hardware WebGUI and choose Processor, change it from KVM64 to QEMU64 then boot the freebsd 8.3 AMD 64 iso image.
It should work.

This is not fix for me, I had to disable in the option section of virtual machine the "KVM Hardware Virtualizzation" and now is booting, now I must see if VM lose in performance.

It does not work for sure. Don't know if haven't posted this info in this thread... Don't think so....

To add to this thread. I am experiencing the same troubles.:(
Running proxmox 2.2 or 2.3 on Asrock Z77 motherboard with intel i5-3570K. vt enabled, vt-x capable (the proc has hd4000 graphics on board and no vt-d support)
Updated from 1.40 bios to the latest 2.80 bios. No change. Still only able to boot further than the first bootmenu when I disable the KVM hardware virtualization.

Hope to get it running somehow soon. I would like to keep Proxmox and not go back to ESXi.

Kind regards,
Ed

Seems that Ivy bridge processor + proxmox/KVM + FreeBSD is a recipy for problems.
Hope it will be resolved. Tried different bios.bin files from seabios but that didn't help either.
Somewhere read something about disabling USB in perl file. Didn't help either.

Just to be sure, do you have updated proxmox to last bugfixes ? (seabios have been updated in last pve-qemu-kvm package)

#apt-get update
#apt-get dist-upgrade
 
Latest version didn't resolve the problem.
I'm having issues with another host that was working fine at first. It's booting now until RTC and then stops.

fyi
running pve-manager 2.3-13/7946f1f1, kernel 2.6.32-19
I saw seabios 0.5.1 2010... so looks like year 2010. What should be the latest version ?

My i5 ivybridge proxmox is showing 1.7.2... kraxel bios 2013.... (deinstalled pve-qemu-kvm with apt-get remove (it removed proxmox also) and installed proxmox again)
But still it's stopping after the menu.
 
I also experience this problem with an i7-3770s. Turning kvm off and having under 4gb ram allocated works. Tried every cpu type available, 2 different seabios. I have not tried the kernel patch.
 
I m having this problem with proxmox 3.1...

I have the same problem:
Proxmox 3.1-21
kernel: 2.6.32-26-pvepve-manager/3.1-21/93bf03d4 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz

FreeBSD boot only when KVM hardware virtualisation is off.
Otherwise installation stop on boot menu :/
 
I have a server Dell R210 II with VT enabled and newly installed Proxmox 3.1(system time is OK) even don't way to work pfSense 2.1 64-bit, show this error continually:

I need to resolve both problems S.A.P. because otherwise I will have to return to VMWare ESXi 5.1.
Help!
