Dear libvirt experts,
I can not instantiate even a simple machine when using the 'vbox' hypervisor:
s14% virt-install --connect=vbox:///session --virt-type vbox --name vtest --memory 500
ERROR cannot obtain CPU freq: No such file or directory
s14% virsh -c vbox:///session
błąd: cannot obtain CPU freq: No such file or directory
(1)
How to fix this error? The VirtualBox driver seems to be installed:
s14% virsh -V

That error message means the following system call is failing
if (sysctlbyname("dev.cpu.0.freq", &cpu_freq, &cpu_freq_len, NULL,
0) < 0) {
virReportSystemError(errno, "%s", _("cannot obtain CPU
freq"));
return -1;
}
Afraid I don't know enough about FreeBSD to say why that might
fail, but there's obviously something unexpected in the setup
or deployment of your system that differs from what we previously
had tested with.
Regards,
Daniel

This is interesting. We have a code for getting this info on FreeBSD, but for some reason
it's not working on your system:
src/nodeinfo.c=1041=int nodeGetInfo(virNodeInfoPtr nodeinfo)
--
src/nodeinfo.c-1083- unsigned long cpu_freq;
src/nodeinfo.c-1084- size_t cpu_freq_len = sizeof(cpu_freq);
src/nodeinfo.c-1085-
src/nodeinfo.c-1086-# ifdef __FreeBSD__
src/nodeinfo.c-1087- if (sysctlbyname("dev.cpu.0.freq", &cpu_freq,
&cpu_freq_len, NULL, 0) < 0) {
src/nodeinfo.c:1088: virReportSystemError(errno, "%s", _("cannot
obtain CPU freq"));
src/nodeinfo.c-1089- return -1;
src/nodeinfo.c-1090- }
src/nodeinfo.c-1091-
src/nodeinfo.c-1092- nodeinfo->mhz = cpu_freq;
src/nodeinfo.c-1093-# else
src/nodeinfo.c-1094- if (sysctlbyname("hw.cpufrequency", &cpu_freq,
&cpu_freq_len, NULL, 0) < 0) {
src/nodeinfo.c:1095: virReportSystemError(errno, "%s", _("cannot
obtain CPU freq"));
src/nodeinfo.c-1096- return -1;
src/nodeinfo.c-1097- }
src/nodeinfo.c-1098-
src/nodeinfo.c-1099- nodeinfo->mhz = cpu_freq / 1000000;
src/nodeinfo.c-1100-# endif
I guess the sysctlbyname() call on te line 1087 failed, but I'm not sure why. Maybe
the name is version dependent?

Hi,
Could you please show an output of the 'sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq' command?
PS I'm not aware of anybody using libvirtd on FreeBSD with the vbox
driver, so quite probably you're entering an unexplored territory. I've
tried connecting to 'vbox:///session' though and it worked, but I didn't
go further.
.
Yours faithfully,
