OK Serge, I've tried that kernel and it didn't help except maybe with a dmesg line that looks new (I might have just missed it).
1) With my long kvm invocation, I got the OSol kernel panic output shown in the .png attachment to an earlier message; but, also this line dmesg: [ 210.924821] kvm: 2594: cpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0xc0011023 2) With the short commandline you posted a few days ago the OSol kernel doesn't panic but attempts a BSDish dump, and no dump device is configured so it just stops. I will attach a .png of the visible last lines of that. In this case the dmesg line is not "unhandled rdmsr", but instead: [ 580.689021] kvm: emulating exchange as write Something looks interesting: in 1) kvm says "unhandled rdmsr", and in 2) the kernel call trace shows a few symbols with 'wrmsr' (see attached .png). Error regarding a model specific register? I don't have experience at this low level so I am only hoping there's a clue here. -Ed ** Attachment added: "screenshot of tail of OSol kernel dump" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/590201/+attachment/1879687/+files/osolcallstack.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590201 Title: OpenSolaris (previously working) no longer boots: kernel panics early -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
