I am not sure if it has been reported already but this commit http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=d7a51dbbaa70677846453f8c961590913052dd86
(replacing pc-bios/bios.bin with a newer version) breaks booting of FreeBSD on recent qemu (starting roughly with qemu- 1.3.0-rc2). Using a FreeBSD host, and a FreeBSD guest, the qemu thread runs at 100% and the console is stuck after the 'pci0' probe: ... hpet0: <High Precision Event Timer> iomem 0xfed00000-0xfed003ff on acpi0 Timecounter "HPET" frequency 100000000 Hz quality 950 Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 900 acpi_timer0: <24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0xb008-0xb00b on acpi0 pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0 Reverting the bios fixes things. I wonder if it isn't the case of reverting this change ? cheers luigi -- -----------------------------------------+------------------------------- Prof. Luigi RIZZO, ri...@iet.unipi.it .
