[CentOS-virt] Endless reboot of Solaris 10 under KVM

[Mathieu Baudier]

Hi,

in order to test a future deployment of our apps on Solaris, I tried to
virtualize Solaris 10 (update 7) in KVM.
It installed fine but afterward it keep rebooting: reboot -> GRUB -> reboot
-> GRUB etc.

I know that Solaris is not officially supported by CentOS/KVM in CentOS 5.4:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Virtualization_Guide/chap-Virtualization-KVM_Restrictions_and_support.html

And the issue seems to be well known:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/solaris-10-guest-endless-reboot-under-kvmqemu-602987/

I got Solaris to work virtualized in VirtualBox 3.0.x (in Fedora) so I have
a workaround.

So, I don't have much hope that one can get Solaris to work under KVM, but I
still wanted to ask here, in case some of you would have faced this already
and would know some magic trick...
(or at least to spread the information)

Cheers,

Mathieu
