Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
Ubuntu hardy heron 8.04 amd64
I've used this guide to get my virtualization kit: https:/
KVM backend, libvirt-bin toolbox and virt-manager as the graphical manager.
I have installed successfully the FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE as a guest operating system.
The problem appears to be when rebooting the machine, specifically:
a) After the installing FreeBSD using the 7.0-release iso image. Upon finishing the FreeBSD installation (default values), I exited the installation and the machine was rebooted. I noticed the error.
b) If I execute the reboot command within the guest operating system, the machine reboots and I notice the same error.
The error is:
"hptrr: no controller detected
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> e.g. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input"
I don't know if it's related, but I also cannot reboot using the virsh reboot command:
$ virsh --connect qemu:///system reboot freebsd
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
libvir: error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainReboot
error: Failed to reboot domain freebsd
The shutdown command does not work. When I execute the libvirt shutdown command:
$ virsh --connect qemu:///system shutdown freebsd
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
Domain freebsd is being shutdown
...but the virtual machine does not shutdown.
The only thing that helps in this case is to destroy (kill) the virtual machine, and start it again.
$ virsh --connect qemu:///system destroy freebsd
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
Domain freebsd destroyed
$ virsh --connect qemu:///system start freebsd
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
Domain freebsd started
...now the virtual machine works
Attached the screenshots of the two cases.
