[OpenIndiana-discuss] KVM guests hang at boot on oi_151a4

[Jonathan Adams]

mine stopped working after u2 ... there is a "fix" on this issue:

https://www.illumos.org/issues/2626

# pkg uninstall driver/i86pc/kvm system/qemu system/qemu/kvm
# pkg install system/qemu at 0.15.0,5.11-0.151.1.2:20120209T223057Z \
system/qemu/kvm at 0.0.1.20110813,5.11-0.151.1.2:20120209T223223Z \
driver/i86pc/kvm at 0.0.1.20110820,5.11-0.151.1.2:20120209T214555Z

Hope it helps.

Jon
