Inside the freebsd guest, you need to have 'console="comconsole"' in /boot/loader.conf in the freebsd guest. Then you can do
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda freebsd.img -m 512 -vnc :1 -serial stdio -enable-kvm to see the hang. Do it without -enable-kvm, and it doesn't hang. I set up a precise container on a raring host, with precise's qemu and seabios. The results there were the same! Finally, both bug reporters say that in quantal there was no such hang. This points to the kernel as the culprit. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157589 Title: kvm hangs for freebsd guests since raring upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm/+bug/1157589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
