It falls in the it "sort of works" bucket.
I am running OmniOS succesfully on a SmartOS host. I've also run SmartOS in KVM for testing (on SmartOS). ide + e1000 nic + nousb work best, vioblk also works but the installer for OmniOS does not handle that one. After install it is possible (recently) to swap out the e1000 nic for a virtio one, those are now also working very well. The main problem is the USB host in all my KVM's. Not using USB on the qemu side is the easiest fix. But yeah, it could use some improvements to make it "just work". --- ~ sjorge On 2015-10-12 23:46, Gabriele Bulfon wrote: > Hi, now that I have kvm working on XStreamOS, I started playing with it. > Linux boot and runs usually fine, both console and graphic.
