Not sure if you ever figured out anything on this one, but I am seeing the exact same symptoms as you, and my configuration over here is: HP Proliant DL580-G5 w/4 hexacore Xeon E7450 processors and 32G RAM Host OS is CentOS 6.4 (kernel 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64) If I load FBSD 9, no problem, in fact I have 9.2 running ZFS quite well currently, but as you mentioned, if I try and load 10.0-BETA3, it starts to boot and just freezes, and I have tried it multiple times. Not sure if there is anything I can do on boot that might help with this, or if there is any way to help debug this issue, but it's for sure a change in 10.0, as any older releases are just fine. --- Howard Leadmon > -----Original Message----- > > I want to run FreeBSD 9.2 under KVM/QEMU, but this is not working due to > CPU problems.
