Hi Nikola,
I have tried with re-installation, AND I am using Jim's fix and IT is
working with this kernel:
$ uname -rosv
SunOS 5.11 illumos-258e862 Solaris
Until now, all updates went fine. Since then (some changes made after
approx 2016-03-29 makes it failing).
H/W is quiet new (I had to add extra Graphic, Network and USB 2.0 PCIe
cards to have OI working). Here extracts from 'dmidecode' utility:

OI /hipster is installed to SSD and HD is used for user HOME directories:

0. c2t0d0 <Samsung-SSD 850 EVO 250GB-EMT01B6Q cyl 28078 alt 2 hd

/pci at 0,0/pci1849,a102 at 17/disk at 1,0
And in attachment you can find screenshot from "device driver utility"....
I *know* that this HW is not covered by any HCL, but as I want to
stress: it has worked like charm (very fast and supporting several VMs
at the same time) UNTIL some changes have been introduced to recent
kernel versions or OI structure.
Since my work heavily depends on VT and VBox is only one which was
working in OI, you can understand my problem: cannot upgrade hipster and
use newer versions (plenty of changes made recently).
From the other side, I have no idea how to debug this (even VBox.log
shows no errors).
Anyway, thank you for coming back with some ides...
With best regards.
