Hi all,
I'm facing some problems trying to install a FreeBSD
7.0-RELEASE-amd64, on a Dell PE 2950III, dual Xeon Quad core, 8GB RAM.
After (FBSD) boot menu count down, it shows a dump of the CPU
registers and a message: BTX Halted. No matter what is changed in VM
setup.
It does not happen with i386 version.
Which is the best release to install in this box? Should I go
ahead with i386?
Thank you,
- Marcelo
I have multiple VM's running the i386 version under ESXi. I think you need
to examine what purpose you are running the FreeBSD VM, and then choose
what version to run. The amd64 64-bit version can address more resources,
but if you are not going to dedicate those resources in excess of 32-bit to
the VM, you don't need to run the 64-bit version. Also there are a lot
less ports in the 64-bit version.
