The link to the thread on the proxmox forum where many people report 8.x not working with proxmox 2.3: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/13013-Error-pfsense-freebsd Apparently it's now a known bug and is related to a KVM bios update. A dirty and temporary fix is to use an old bios (say from 2.0 or 2.2) in the vm config: === args: -bios /usr/share/kvm/bios_old.bin === It seems a fix has been submitted by the devs and it reportedly works: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/13013-Error-pfsense-freebsd?p=71136#post71136 I confirm the updated BIOS (which has already been committed to the debian packages) fixes the problems and allows 8.x to boot. So, I guess I'm going to happily revert that 9.1 to 8.3 eh… Still doesn't explain the CARP regressions though :( _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
