--- Comment #17 from Cameron <cam@neo-zeon.de> ---
I've managed to work around this.=20

There's 2 issues here:
1. Rather than using an Opteron_* model in kvm for the CPU, etc. Use kvm64.
Others may work as well. I believe this alone will Just Work if you haven't
been building from source.

2. Did you build everything/anything from source? You probably don't want to
set=20
'CPUTYPE?=3Dnative', etc in /etc/make.conf (or perhaps you can find somethi=
ng
"safe" to set it to?).=20

If you are building from source AND had CPUTYPE set to something like
Opteron_*, you'll probably need to rebuild your *current* working version
before you can attempt to switch the CPU model to 'kvm64'. An Opteron optim=
ized
build won't even boot if you set the CPU model to 'kvm64' IIRC.

First, unset CPUTYPE if you have it set and then rebuild _everything_. Rebu=
ild
world, kernel, and ports. Once you've confirmed that everything still works
(you can reboot, your daemons still come up, etc), you should be able to sw=
itch
your virtual CPU model to kvm64.

Once your system runs with with kvm64 set, you can build the newer version =
of
FreeBSD that you want to move to. To be safe, try the newer kernel first (as
you should in general anyway) to confirm that it's working without surprise=
s.

Seeing as how I found that much more than the kernel and the base system we=
re
affected, this could very well be a compiler regression for the Opteron tar=
get.

Anyway, hope this helps!
