Hello there, I have been struggling to create a obsd 6.4 VM on xen(4.10.1) with HVM. After booting from the CD (install64.iso as a virtual cdrom), the installer cannot detect the disk to install the OS. During the installation, the installer says: "Available disks are: none."
I already have a obsd 6.0 VM instance running for a while, I tried to do the same with the installer from 6.0 (install60.iso) The installer worked fined and detected the disk as wd0 device. See below the boot console output of both versions (obsd6.4 and obsd6.0) In the obsd6.4 output, I noticed the following timeout which could explain why the disk is not detected. xbf0 at xen0 backend 0 channel 5: disk xbf0: timed out waiting for backend to connect xbf1 at xen0 backend 0 channel 5: cdrom I tried multiple configurations of guest VM on Xen, but cannot find a way to make it work with the 6.4 installer. Any idea of what could going on? Any help would be appreciated.
