Re: centos 4 bhyve guest
Does anyone have an experience on booting CentOS 4 as a bhyve guest? This should now be partly fixed with grub2-bhyve 0.30 (the latest version in ports). I've tried the 4.8 x86_64 install DVD and booted with a single vCPU guest. SMP isn't yet working. 4.8/i386 has issues with the atpic and detecting PCI devices that I'm still looking into. With 4.8, I used ahci-hd for disks since there seemed to be sporadic issues with virtio-blk. In addition, 5.11 now seems to work fine, UP/SMP and with virtio-blk. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: centos 4 bhyve guest
I believe only CentOS-6.x and newer are currently supported. I am in a similar predicament where I'd like to port some development CentOS5.x systems and am unable to. With CentOS 5.11 it's possible to get some early kernel output by setting the "earlyprintk=serial" kernel command-line option. But, this disappears when the switchover to the main console happens. I'd be keen to learn what issues exist preventing this and see if I can help in any way to get older CentOS systems supported. I suspect that Centos 5 does boot, but without console output there's not much that can be done :( It might need some Linux kernel builds and insertion of debug to work out why the console settings from grub aren't being used. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: centos 4 bhyve guest
Does anyone have an experience on booting CentOS 4 as a bhyve guest? I want to convert one of my very old servers which requires CentOS4 because of commercial software to a virtual machine, but I got the following error when I tried to boot CentOS-4.8-x86_64-bin1of5.iso: Just tried that ISO and got the same result (a triple-fault). I'll look into it. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
