KVM on Centos 6.3 cannot boot FreeBSD 9.2 AMD64
<p>On the same OS with the same kernels basically I cannot boot FreeBSD installer, I believe the issue is the host CPU.</p>
<p>One host runs an Intel and works, while an Opteron 2373 does not work despite suggestions from this thread: <a href="http://149.20.54.209/showthread.php?t=36761">http://149.20.54.209/showthread.php?t=36761</a></p>
<p>I've tried cpu options like "kvm64" "Opteron_G3" and none of them worked.<br />
</p>
<p>The bootloader hangs with the following:</p>

<p>You need to specify these cpu options:</p>
<p>-cpu core2duo,-xsave</p>
<p>I couldn't get it to boot with -cpu host and the -xsave (disables the xsave CPU function which is the other cause of the crash).</p>
