Summary: FreeBSD fails to reboot

Initial Comment:
Xeon E5430, ubuntu 8.04 x86_64, currently kvm-62. Reports of same issue in kvm76:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm/+bug/239107

Host kernel: 2.6.24-19
Guest: FreeBSD 6.2, i386 and amd64

Problem: FreeBSD will start normally as a guest OS. When a "reboot" is issued to the guest, it will not come back up without destroying the guest, and then starting it again.

Screenshots from a reboot:

Note that the drive is listed.

In the second screenshot, the drive should be listed right after the Timecounters lines.

If the guest is destroyed at that point, and restarted it will come up fine. This can be reproduced 100% of the time. Happens both when using a file or a partition for the guest OS.

Message:
KVM-76: When passed --no-kvm option - the reboot is happening without any
problems, so this has something to do with kernel kvm module as well.

Message:
Reproducible for kvm-74,kvm-75,kvm-76 with FreeBSD 6.2, 6.3 and 7.0.

This is KVM-specific bug. QEMU 0.9.1 does not suffer from it.
