Hello. In order to verify some build issues on solaris, I tried to install sol10 x86 in a kvm vm. But unfortunately it does not work: after the grub prompt and choosing "Solaris 10 x86" boot entry, the kernel gets loaded (there's a row of dots displayed during that), next, the following message gets displayed:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_147148-26 64-bit Copyright (c) 1983, 2013 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. and the guest stays there for a long time, spinning up 100% of its CPU, and nothing more happens. The same happens when run with or without kvm (ie, tcg and kvm behaves the same way). When run in kvm, kvm_stats shows just a few exits (about 600/sec) and nothing more than that. Any idea what to do with that? I think that supporting solaris as _guest_ OS is an important goal for qemu/kvm (as opposed to _host_). Thanks, /mjt
