For guest; ACPI is on, everything else is off. Turning on VT-x does not make the problem go away. It works fine on metal. Using a stock OpenSolaris 2008.11 guest, enter the kernel debugger. To do this: {{{ o when the grub line comes up, hit 'e' o go to the splashimage line and hit 'd' to delete it o go to the foreground line and hit 'd' to delete it o go to the backgound line and hit 'd' to delete it o go to the kernel$ line and hit 'e' to EDIT it o hit backspace/delete to remove "",console=graphics"" o use the arrow keys to move the cursor before the -B $ZFS-BOOTFS, and add -kd o the line should now look like kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -kd -B $ZFS-BOOTFS o hit return to enter changes and go back o hit 'b' to boot }}} Wait for the kmdb prompt [0]> {{{ o at the kmdb prompt, set the var and continue.. vbox guest will die here and be left in a ""aborted"" state. NOTE: Make sure initial k is lower case.. virtual box always seems to capitalize it (a bug?) and I have to delete and type it again. o kobj_file_bufsize?W 0x100000 o :c }}} From the guest log... {{{ 00:00:01.112 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#0: disk, PCHS=16383/16/63, total number of sectors 20971520 00:00:01.112 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#1: no unit 00:00:01.113 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#2: CD/DVD, total number of sectors 0, passthrough disabled 00:00:01.113 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#3: no unit 00:00:01.113 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.113 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#1: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.114 Port0: no driver attached 00:00:01.114 AHCI ATA: LUN#0: no unit 00:00:01.114 AHCI ATA: LUN#1: no unit 00:00:01.114 ATA: Ctl: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.114 AHCI ATA: LUN#0: no unit 00:00:01.114 AHCI ATA: LUN#1: no unit 00:00:01.114 ATA: Ctl: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.114 ATA: Ctl: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.114 ATA: Ctl: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.115 NAT: passing domain name sfbay.sun.com 00:00:01.115 NAT: DNS address: 129.145.155.220 00:00:01.115 NAT: ignored DNS address: 129.145.154.118 00:00:01.115 Audio: Trying driver 'coreaudio'. 00:00:01.115 Audio: set_record_source ars=0 als=0 (not implemented) 00:00:01.198 DevPcBios: ATA LUN#0 LCHS=1024/255/63 00:00:01.199 PGMR3InitFinalize: 4 MB PSE mask 00000000ffffffff 00:00:01.230 VM: Halt method global1 (5) 00:00:01.230 Changing the VM state from 'CREATING' to 'CREATED'. 00:00:01.230 Changing the VM state from 'CREATED' to 'RUNNING'. 00:00:01.240 Guest Log: BIOS: VirtualBox 2.1.2 00:00:01.240 PIT: mode=2 count=0x10000 (65536) - 18.20 Hz (ch=0) 00:00:01.259 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: RESET, DevSel=0 AIOIf=0 CmdIf0=0x00 (-1 usec ago) CmdIf1=0x00 (-1 usec ago) 00:00:01.259 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.284 Guest Log: BIOS: ata0-0: PCHS=16383/16/63 LCHS=1024/255/63 00:00:01.285 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#1: RESET, DevSel=0 AIOIf=0 CmdIf0=0x00 (-1 usec ago) CmdIf1=0x00 (-1 usec ago) 00:00:01.286 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#1: finished processing RESET 00:00:01.287 PIT: mode=2 count=0x48d3 (18643) - 64.00 Hz (ch=0) 00:00:01.307 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=20b7c000 w=640 h=480 bpp=32 cbLine=0xA00 00:00:03.765 PIT: mode=2 count=0x10000 (65536) - 18.20 Hz (ch=0) 00:00:03.768 Guest Log: BIOS: CDROM boot failure code : 0003 00:00:03.768 Guest Log: BIOS: Boot from CD-ROM failed 00:00:03.770 Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from Hard Disk... 00:00:03.770 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: RESET, DevSel=0 AIOIf=0 CmdIf0=0x20 (-1 usec ago) CmdIf1=0x00 (-1 usec ago) 00:00:03.770 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: finished processing RESET 00:00:03.774 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=00000000 w=720 h=400 bpp=0 cbLine=0x0 00:00:03.802 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: RESET, DevSel=0 AIOIf=0 CmdIf0=0x20 (-1 usec ago) CmdIf1=0x00 (-1 usec ago) 00:00:03.802 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: finished processing RESET 00:00:04.244 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=20b7c000 w=640 h=480 bpp=0 cbLine=0x140 00:00:54.710 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 42.
