Category: intel Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tim Knowles (knowlet) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: FreeBSD/PC-BSD text screen corruption Initial Comment: Using either kvm-83, kvm-82 or kvm-81 I am unable to install FreeBSD or PC BSD due to screen corruption (screenshot attached). The initial boot menu is shown and is legible. Once you have selected the boot option & the boot process continues the screen becomes corrupted. I initially discovered the problem when setting up an LVM backed guest in virt-manager but I have attached a minimal cmd line below that allows you to trigger it. 1) It would appear that this problem was introduced in kvm-81 (kvm-80 does not exhibit the problem with FBSD or PCBSD but I have not tested any other versions of kvm) 2) If I use the -no-kvm switch with KVM-83 this problem does not occur. Details: Host: 1 x Intel Core i7 920, Fedora 10 64bit. 6GB memory (Dell Studio XPS 435) kvm-83: self compiled - gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) cmd line: /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -cdrom 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso Guests: FreeBSD 7,1 PC-BSD 7.0.2 PS: I'd also like to add my thanks for creating KVM, it's fabulous tool.
