In the same time, in 9.x = carp seems to be desperately broken: for example I was experiencing = weird panics on boot, weird behaviour, and, when enabling WITNESS, lots = of carp-related LORs.

A dirty and temporary fix is to use an old bios (say from 2.0 or 2.2) in = the vm config: =3D=3D=3D args: -bios /usr/share/kvm/bios_old.bin =3D=3D=3D It seems a fix has been submitted by the devs and it reportedly works: = http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/13013-Error-pfsense-freebsd?p=3D71136#pos= t71136 I confirm the updated BIOS (which has already been committed to the = debian packages) fixes the problems and allows 8.x to boot. So, I guess I'm going to happily revert that 9.1 to 8.3 eh=85 Still doesn't explain the CARP regressions though :(
