Solved Can't boot install iso image for 14.0 i386

P

Paul Floyd

Using
FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-i386-20220331-d53927b0bae-254105-disc1.iso

and installing to a VirtualBox VM (13.0-RELEASE amd64 host)

The boot ends with "CPU doesn't support long mode"

No problems with older i386 versions

Is there any vbox setting that I should be using?
 
Was 32-bit set before boot?

Originally it was 32bit. I also tried 64bit.

I'm on a slightly older version of VirtualBox (quarterly updates):
paulf> pkg info -x virtualbox
virtualbox-ose-6.1.30
virtualbox-ose-kmod-6.1.30

As I said the host is 13.0-RELEASE

My host cpuid has the following flags

I'm wondering if that is just too old, and perhaps there's a vbox setting to enable a required flag that it doesn't do by default.

Paul Floyd back to basics, for a moment. For your copy of FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-i386-20220331-d53927b0bae-254105-disc1.iso, does the checksum match what's in <https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/sn...14.0-CURRENT-i386-20220331-d53927b0bae-254105>?
 
The sha512 is OK

Thanks. It's strange that this particular (Tier 2) installer:
  • ☐ does not boot on your supported RELEASE ?
  • ☑ does boot on my non-supported version of FreeBSD ?
Let's post to freebsd-current. Are you a subscriber?

Booted in normal mode (not safe), yes?



Which is the most recent i386 guest that does boot?

uname -aKU
Click to expand...

From memory 11.3, 11.4, 12.0 and 12.1 all worked (now deleted)

Currently working 12.2 12.3 13.0 and 13.1 (all -RELEASE except 13.1 which is -BETA3)

$ uname -aKU
FreeBSD freebsd 13.1-BETA3 FreeBSD 13.1-BETA3 releng/13.1-n250010-ca2b1e3480b GENERIC i386 1301000 1301000

Older versions of 14.0-CURRENT i386 did install and boot OK. However, because of previous failed installs when I tried selecting optional packages (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261653) the VM disk got wiped.

Clearly from the above bugzilla I was able to boot FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-amd64-20220127-2c449a4c5a3-252673-disc1.iso and get as far the installer failing.
