Does this happen even before you run any VMs? (i.e. from the GUI)? Could you please provide more info. when you noticed this?

[Jeff Hoffman]

System reports this but I believe it is a 64bit hosts.

SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_126 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

Happens before running any VBox Guests, looking at it viz GUI interface, and running top.

Do you have the VirtualBox GUI open when this happens?

[Jeff Hoffman]

No see attached ps.txt file for the processes running..

[Ramshankar Venkataraman]

Why is VboxSVC and VBoxXPCOMIPCD hanging about without any VM? Did you launch them manually? This could be a bug with VBoxSVC not terminating. Does killing VBoxSVC help reduce hald CPU usage?

[Jeff Hoffman]

Well I updated my Boot admin to SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_127 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris yesterday and restarted the box there was an update to the SUNWhal package....

Seems to have fixed it.

I noticed 3.12 Vbox is out will update that later today.
