[OpenIndiana-discuss] Solaris10 Guest on illumos KVM

[Carsten Grzemba]

I have Intel i7 and 8GB RAM.
$ isainfo -v
64-bit amd64 applications
 avx2 fma bmi2 bmi1 rdrand f16c vmx avx xsave pclmulqdq aes movbe 
 sse4.2 sse4.1 ssse3 popcnt tscp cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov 
 amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu 
32-bit i386 applications
 avx2 fma bmi2 bmi1 rdrand f16c vmx avx xsave pclmulqdq aes movbe 
 sse4.2 sse4.1 ssse3 popcnt tscp ahf cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx 
 cmov sep cx8 tsc fpu 
My problem is, 
- that the first Solaris boot for install already hangs after the Copyright notice, if I don't use no-kvm options
- with -no-kvm-irqchip it boots and installs but fails on zfs rpool (IO Error on zfs create)
