[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana Zone refuses to boot, gives a core dump

[Dave Koelmeyer]

Hi All,

I have an oi_151a x86 system, and I've created a shared IP Zone in the 
same way I've always done in the past on this system (which currently 
has four other Zones installed).

Once my zone has been created and installed, I get this when attempting 
to boot it (#zoneadm -z heliod-zone boot):

dave at mymachine:/home/dave$ pfexec zlogin -C heliod-zone
[Connected to zone 'heliod-zone' console]

[NOTICE: Zone booting up]

Looking at the logfile output for the affected service in the zone, I 
get this:

Has anyone else encountered this behaviour before?
