Running OpenSolaris had been a qualified success (no usb, unusable w/ cpu > 1; otherwise OK).
Now, after passing OpenSolaris' grub menu the (OSAL) kernel panics; kvm spins.

I can boot (this same machine) into Ubuntu 9.10, which has not had the latest security updates,
and with that the OpenSolaris VM works as expected.

This Ubuntu 10.04 has had all package updates (including recent kernel security issue). Sorry,
but I have not tried to start the OpenSolaris VM for some time, so I cannot associate the
problem with a particular update. It *did* work with the fresh 10.04 install (after changing -soundhw
to work around cpu hogging).

Working with this system: Ubuntu 10.04 Server 32 bit; Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 64 bit;
MS Vista 32 bit; Plan9
