Environment = XenHVM. >Description: Any attempt to create a new partition from within sysinstall causes the program to crash with a floating point exception. This issue is also present in FreeBSD 8.X, even with the stock XENHVM kernel. Seems I am also not alone with this problem: http://deadmemes.net/2011/03/05/freebsd-8-2-hvmxen4-update/ I suspect also (based on the article in the above URL) that it is related to geometry information being bad or presented badly to fdisk. I have free space on my primary disk which I wish to use and cannot because of this problem. >How-To-Repeat: Run FreeBSD 8.X or 9.0-BETA* in a Xen HVM environment and then Compile the XENHVM kernel. Run sysinstall and attempt to create a new partition, sysinstall crashes. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
