<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> I've been trying to get the OmniOS installer working under kvm with qemu, and I'm always presented with the same kernel panic at the same place after the Oracle copyright notice, after which the installer restarts itself: SunOS Release 5.11 Version omnios-b281e50 64-bit Copyright (c) 1983, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. panic[cpu0]/thread=fffffffffbc2fac0 I've tried both the LTS and current stable installers, and they give the same results. I've tried disabling ACPI and HPET, varying the amount of RAM and VCPUs, etc..., to no avail. Here's the exact line I'm using to invoke qemu: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga std -m 2048 -cdrom OmniOS_Text_r151010u.iso -boot order=d omnios.img Output of 'qemu -version': QEMU emulator version 2.1.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard <big>And if it helps, the KVM host is Gentoo, with a hardened 3.15.8 kernel. The use-flags I used when building qemu can be found here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pastebin.com/hDTUgU4r">http://pastebin.com/hDTUgU4r</a> Omitting "-enable-kvm" lets the virtual machine run as expected, albeit at a crawl. I suspect that there may be a bug at work here, and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed.</big> <big>Thanks for your time.</big> </body> </html>
