VirtualBox freezes when Solaris 9 x86 32bit detects the keyboard.

Reported by: cmihai Assigned to:
Priority: blocker Component: other
Version: VirtualBox 1.6.2 Keywords: Solaris 9
Cc: Guest type: other
Host type: other

Description

- Solaris 9 x86 32 bit install CD fails with <bootdev>: can't open - bios configuration error when VT-x is enabled. - The installer freezes when detecting hardware (a set by step hardware detection shows detecting SYSTEM KEYBOARD freezes the virtual machine).

Skipping keyboard detection at install gets me Webstart - Solaris Installer - pick language (keyboard doesn't work).

I assume serial install or JumpStart? would work fine.

Host is SXCE 91, VBox 1.6.2 AMD64 package from Sun.

I also would like to test Solaris 9 x86. Do you have any idea where I can get a freeware DVD, like Solaris 10 ?

What host OS? (SXCE is hardware I think)

SXCE == Solaris Express Community Edition, build 91. It's the latest snapshot build of the development branch of Solaris.

You can download a CD or DVD or Solaris 9 here:

I have added the logs from the Solaris 9 virtual machine folder. If you need more info, I'll be happy to provide it.
