Hi,
I'm trying to build a virtual TrueNAS instance using KVM but I'm getting a kernel panic on boot of the ISO.
The error appears to be related to the Intel virtual function driver; the physical hardware is an Intel I350 where the physical interface is controlled by the host and there are 4 virtual function devices available for the VMs.
The host hardware is an IBM X4 3650, dual E5-2650v2, quad I350 (built-in), Mellanox ConnectX-2 and LSI HBAs.
The host OS is Ubuntu 20.04, fully patched.
I tried an identical configuration using:
- FreeBSD 13.0: I was able to boot the OS and register the NIC (igb0).
- FreeBSD 12.2: I got a kernel panic (although the level of detail for the error seems less).
- ArchLinux: ! was able to boot the OS and register the Intel virtual function NIC.
- Ubuntu: ! was able to boot the OS and register the Intel virtual function NIC.
- FreeBSD 12.2 without the Intel VF: ! was able to boot (no NIC since it was removed).
- TrueNAS 12 without the Intel VF: I was able to boot (no NIC since it was removed).
Is this solely a case of waiting till FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD13 or does anyone know of a patch/fix to TrueNAS 12 that would allow using the Intel VF devices?
Thanks in advance,
Sal
