Description Lukas Svaty 2014-08-04 09:04:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
As we have FreeBSD9.2 in VM Operation Systems list, the boot of FreeBSD9.2 should work. However it freezes right after start of installation after boot menu:

FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso:

Comment 1 Omer Frenkel 2014-08-05 05:44:19 UTC 
what is the status of the vm in the webadmin?
please attach engine+vdsm+libvirt+qemu logs
Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2014-08-06 11:23:40 UTC 
what about virtio console setting in Edit VM?
Comment 3 Lukas Svaty 2014-08-07 10:19:46 UTC 
status of VM: Powering Up -> Up
adding vdsm, qemu, libvirt, engine logs
VM options, standard VM without any change in options (except name, disk, network) -> Virtio Console Disabled

Comment 8 Lukas Svaty 2014-08-07 10:47:48 UTC 
after conversation with dev

possible problems:
1. PXE boot
2. 32bit iso (instead of Vinzenzs 64bit)
Comment 9 Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2014-08-18 07:17:26 UTC 
Lukas please check whether or not you could figure out if this is a problem of the PXE boot. From what I can tell, there's no indication that this is a problem of devices or any settings we can tune. It rather seems to be a problem of PXE boot.
So please test if your PXE boot setup for FreeBSD works with a VM created for instance with Virt Manager.

@Lukas: please update your investigation results here:
Comment 11 Lukas Svaty 2014-09-02 11:43:33 UTC 
Tried PXE boot on local machine / Virtual via virt-manager
Seems the problem is in PXE boot of FreeBSD 9.2.

Also tried booting from iso via iso domain and it works for 32 and 64bit system.

PXE boot cfg:
label FreeBSD9.2
    menu label ^FreeBSD9.2-i386 
    pxe path/to/image/FreeBSD9.2/boot/pxeboot
Comment 12 Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2014-09-02 11:47:57 UTC 
Closing since this is not a issue of RHEV and seems to be a problem specific to the PXE boost code used in fbsd
Comment 13 Lukas Svaty 2014-09-02 12:38:23 UTC 
seems the bug is on FreeBSD side and is being investigated

Comment 14 Sven Kieske 2014-09-12 07:56:47 UTC 
It would be cool if you can add this information to the freebsd bug report
because it looks like it will get closed otherwise.
There is information that this is indeed a bug in ISC-DHCP?
