I was trying to load a FreeBSD 10 VM on my CentOS 6.4 machine, and it keeps hanging and not completing the boot. I have FBSD 9.x VM's running just fine, but if I try and load 10.x it's a no go.
Attaching to the console using VNC, I see:
gPXE (http://etherboot.org) - 00:04.0 C980 PCI2.10 PnP BBS PMM7FC0@20 C980
Booting from DVD/CD... CD Loader 1.2
Building the boot loader arguments Looking up the /BOOT/LOADER... Found Relocating the loader and the BTX
That is it, at that point it just hangs. I have tried from 2G RAM to 6G RAM for the VM, and from 1 to 4 CPU's, but no effect. The FreeBSD lists said I should load a newer QEMU-KVM, that there are much newer releases but everything I have seen claims that is not a good idea, that RH does version numbering much differently.
Has anyone run into this, or have any ideas on how to get past it, as I would love to load up the newest FBSD and give it a run as well..

Do you have to use KVM? IIRC it runs fine under virtualbox. I think 10.2+ should work on xen but haven't tried it yet.

The host is CentOS using kvm-qemu, so kinda hard to reload the 8 running VM's just to try another hypervisor. I am just trying to add a FBSD 10 guest to an established host..

Hello Juerg,
I wasn't sure what all was useful, so I figured I would respond back and post whatever was asked for that might help with sorting this out.
Here is the rundown on a few details on the setup. First off the hardware is an HP DL580G5 server with 4x E7450 Xeon CPU's in the server and 32G RAM, to a SAS array. The CentOS OS should be current as of this message, as I have applied all the latest updates using yum. I show the kernel to be Linux version 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64 and the qemm-kv version is showing as QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.1 (qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2).
The FreeBSD release I am trying to load on a guest VM is the production release of FreeBSD 10, the ISO grabbed from the master site is FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso, and the virt-install command I am using is:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n FBSD-10_vm1 -r 2048 --vcpus=1 --disk path=/dev/vg_virtual/FBSD-10_vm1 -c /images/FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso --graphics vnc,port=5920,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole --os-variant freebsd8 --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --network=bridge:br1
I am specifying the freebsd8 flag, as I see no sign of a newer os-variant I can use, so that was the closest to what I was trying to run. As stated before, if I try and boot FBSD 8 or 9, it works just fine, it's just when I try and launch 10 that I have this issue.
If there is any other info that would be helpful, just let me know..

Just a FYI. I'm successfully running FreeBSD 10.0-RC5 in a kvm VM (under Ubuntu, so probably a different version of KVM). Going to upgrade to -RELEASE today (downloading image now).
I don't know what the freebsd8 variant flag does in virt-install, but I don't bother with it. I just create the KVM definition as a clone of a previous one using 'virsh define' with an .xml file.
The following is an xml dump of my port building VM with the VM stopped:

Sorry I wasn't able to get this going on CentOS 6.5. I disabled XSAVE but that didn't make a difference. It looks like CentOS KVM is simply too old/broken for FreeBSD 10. Maybe you can try with a newer KVM BIOS so see if that makes a difference.

Why not? A VM is just payload for the system. If your production environment can't handle a test/debug/broken/untrusted/untested VM then it certainly doesn't deserve the title 'production system'.

Has anyone run into this, or have any ideas on how to get past it, as I would love to load up the newest FBSD and give it a run as well..

Attaching to the console using VNC, I see:
gPXE (http://etherboot.org) - 00:04.0 C980 PCI2.10 PnP BBS PMM7FC0@20 C980
Booting from DVD/CD... CD Loader 1.2
Building the boot loader arguments Looking up the /BOOT/LOADER... Found Relocating the loader and the BTX
That is it, at that point it just hangs. I have tried from 2G RAM to 6G RAM for the VM, and from 1 to 4 CPU's, but no effect. The FreeBSD lists said I should load a newer QEMU-KVM, that there are much newer releases but everything I have seen claims that is not a good idea, that RH does version numbering much differently.

I am not familiar with XSAVE, how can I set this when trying to load a new guest? I have been using virt-install to try and load the VM..

after virt-install, shutdown guest and with virsh edit guest_name
under cpu section change option for xsave
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <feature policy='disable' name='xsave'/>
or from your desktop with the gui virt-manager
