PfSense won't install as Xen VM at HP Microserver
-
Hi,
I've got exact same problem. I'm also using Xenserver 5.6fp1 on a AMD Phenom x64 cpu. Pfsense 2.0 AMD64 gives me the same error as suncheez. Pfsense 1.2.3 is working just fine.
Edit:
Tried a couple of things to narrow down:
-Tried updating 1.2.3 to 2.0 RC3 through WebGui but it fails the same: http://dropmocks.com/mUeFg
-Installing 2.0 in Virtualbox on Intel Q6600 CPU host works just fine
-Updated my Asus M3A78EM (AMD CPU) mobo to latest firmware, to no avail -
Hi,
I am also using Xenserver running on the HP Microserver and want to install pfSense 2 on it.
And after a lot of searching and reading i have found a work around to get it working.
This is what i did:At the boot menu choose option 7 "Escape to loader prompt"
set hw.clflush_disable=1
bootInstall pfSense.
After the installation, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf.local by running the following command from the shell prompt.
echo "hw.clflush_disable=1" >> /boot/loader.conf.local

Hey wmlaros, thanks for sharing your solution. Didn't work for me though (Athlon II Neo 64)

wmlaros you are a true hero!
I have been looking for a solution for this at least a year now, and until I read you post a couple of hours ago I had found nothing at all that even came close to solve that problem.
My setup, which now works:
Xenserver 5.6sp2
AMD Phenom
II X4 955 Processor, 4 cores
pfsense 2.0-AMD64 (installed with 4 cpu kernels)Thank you ever so much!

Yes! Absolutely awesome. Running pfsense 2.0 release on XenServer 5.6 SP2 on AMD Athlon 64 x2

Are you planning on upgrading to XenServer 6.0?

When it's stable. BETA software is fun, but not always the best decision. I lost all my guest systems once because I wasn't careful.

Works like a charm! Thank you so much wmlaros!!
