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:

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? Michal
