Hi, I am trying to run FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso inside VirtualBox and am having some problems.
The error messages I am getting are similar to the ones mentioned here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-December/065079.html My host environment =================== Operating System: Windows 7, home edition, 64-bit VirtualBox for Windows, version 4.1.12 r77245 CPU Information ================ I downloaded the CoreInfo.exe utility which is part of Windows Sysinternals utilities ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb545027 ) According to this utility, my CPU is: ============================================================ Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 13, GenuineIntel HTT * Hyperthreading enabled HYPERVISOR - Hypervisor is present VMX - Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization SVM - Supports AMD hardware-assisted virtualization EM64T * Supports 64-bit mode ============================================================ So my CPU support 64-bit mode, but does not support hardware-assisted virtualization. Error message ============= If I try to mount and then boot it under VirtualBox, I get this error: CPU doesn't support long mode Consoles: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive C: is disk0 BIOS 639kB/523264kB available memory FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 (r...@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu, Tue Jan 3 06:51:49 UTC 2012) Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guess BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0: FATAL: int13_harddisk: function 42. Can't use 64bits lba Does anyone know how to fix this problem in VirtualBox? QEMU for Windows ================ Just to try something else, I downloaded QEMU 0.9.0 for Windows from: http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/ I extracted the zip file into a directory: C:\local\qemu-0.9.0-windows I then ran: cd c:\local\qemu-0.9.0-windows qemu-system-x86_64.exe -L . -m 128 -cdrom c:\temp\FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso The ISO booted up just fine. From the dmesg output, this was the emulated CPU: CPU: QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.0 (1666.98-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x623 Family = 6 Model = 2 Stepping = 3 Features=0x78bfbfd<FPU,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,SE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2> Features2=0x1<SSE3> AMD Features=0x20100800<SYSCALL,NX,LM> Does anyone know how I can get VirtualBox to behave the same way as QEMU for FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso?
