(OI) When it started happening?
This is important, since Virtualbox should continue to support Illumos based distributions like Openindiana, but that is up to Virtualbox developers and there is not many developers not paid by oracle that do develop Virtualbox. Perhaps just a minor effort is needed for Illumos/OS to be supported for virtualbox and maybe people at Virtualbox are already doing it but I am not sure. At least Virtualbox works on Openindiana , with KVM module removed and/or "export VBOX_HWVIRTEX_IGNORE_SVM_IN_USE=true" used prior invocation and SFE repository workaround for GCC/Virtualbox working On Openindiana 151a: (look for virtualbox) http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1840 _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
