I use the configuration that VirtualBox shows me. If I reduce the ram to 1024 it is a little bit faster.

Next test: Opensuse Leap 15.4. Absolut no problems.

How much ram is the minimum for openindiana?

Next questions:

Windows Vista works.
Solaris 10 works.

Why is openindiana so ram intensiv?

What is the configuration for this vm?

Hello,

I think you are right. Lenovo T60 has 4 GB ram but only 3 GB can be used for 
ram.

Hi Elima

This sounds very much like you are running out of memory. Please note that 
VirtualBox uses all memory assigned to the guest immediatly.

Ah, ok. But:

You must start the Additions from the CD/DVD drive inside the guest to start 
the installer.

Actually, I had wrongly mentioned the Extension Pack. What you need are the 
guest additions:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html 
<https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html>

Please do see if you can install these and whether performance improves.

As for the comparison between the two different computer models, please compare 
the CPU, disk, RAM, and virtual memory.

     I read the manual to install the extensions. They are there and
     have a
     hook.

     Can it be that my Lenovo T60 is too small? But openindiana on a
     real HDD
     with the same Lenovo T60 works.
