For my part I've found that a9 has problems running KVM with a Windows guest - it will usually boot, but will crash within a couple of minutes. Historically, updating KVM on OI has always been problematic - most versions have been broken in one way or another - so a9 isn't especially bad in that regard. With any luck I'll be able to just keep running the old version of system/qemu/kvm, rather than having to hold back from a9 altogether, but I won't be able to try that out for a few weeks. Other than that, everything appeared to look fine. I don't use any of the graphical packages that some people seem to have problems with though. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
