Could you please try with virt-manager and see if it works there? If it does, can you please try this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063900#c2 It does not work either and replacing QXL GPU with VGA does not change that. On the other hand, replacing <cpu mode='host-model'> (which sets -cpu SandyBridge to qemu-kvm on my machine) with <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'<model fallback='allow'>cpu64-rhel6</model> fixes the panic. Unfortunately, it runs out of memory quickly with default of 512M. Changing that to 1024M makes it boot to the desktop. In the desktop, mouse cursor does not move. Removing the USB tablet and leaving the PS/2 mouse attached fixes this problem. The boot is ridiculously slow, but the desktop works mostly fine then. I verified this problem exists on real hardware too, so that's nothing related to Boxes or QEMU. So, to summarize, the following needs to be done to make Solaris work: * Avoid CPU being set to SandyBridge * Assign 1024M of memory * Remove USB Tablet (In reply to Lubomir Rintel from comment #3) > > * Avoid CPU being set to SandyBridge Are you sure SanyBridge is the issue? Could you please test this config: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>SandyBridge</model> Thats what Boxes has been using lately (3.14). > * Assign 1024M of memory We do that by default now too. > * Remove USB Tablet That is something that still needs doing: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747910 I've just checked solaris 11.2 (the newest) and gnome-boxes 3.14.3 and the crash still occurs. Daniel, would you have any ideas about this?

Could you please test this config: > > <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> > <model fallback='allow'>SandyBridge</model> Just FYI, the "SandyBridge" part is not hard coded by Boxes but rather Boxes uses the model libvirt capabilities report to be the host cpu model. I have been attempting to fix this issue. So far I am encountering the same limitations specified in https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status I am tracking the progress on this issue upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/issues/600 After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release. Therefore, it is being closed. If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened. The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
