Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 11.2 on a Qemu box with KVM and libvirt on a Linux host. For reference, the virt-install command I'm using is % virt-install --name bsd --memory 4096 --vcpus=2 --cpu host \ --cdrom $HOME/tmp/FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso --disk path=/media/store/test/bsd.qcow2 --network user \ --virt-type kvm --os-type=freebsd11.2 When I try to boot the kernel (using the bootonly ISO), I'm getting an infinite loop that prints "unexpected cache type 4". I managed to trace it to this announcement: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2016-April/060466.html Since it relates to SMP and my box has an AMD K10 processor (Phenom x3) so I figured I'd limit it to a single core through --vcpus=1 and sure enough, it worked and I was greeted by the installer. Is this a known issue? Or am I doing something wrong? Or could it be that my particular CPU model is unsupported? --- ~erkin
