the failure of not mounting the root file system maybe a symptom of a failed iso copy. However, it's entirely possible that qemu is choking on the dma commands that Solaris is sending down to the virtual driver, and causing the problem. There are some patches that Juergen Keil posted in the archive which can probably help that particular issue. > > I used the command: > % qemu -hda <img created for hda> -cdrom <iso for solaris install> -d > int,pcall -boot d <img created for hda> I looked at my start line and it looks like you have both -hda solaris10, and solaris10 at the end of your command line. How about removing the trailing solaris10 and see how that goes. I think you probably want to add -localtime to the start command as well. Yes, you'll probably see some RTC errors when Solaris starts, but I've gotten Solaris 10 to load with the CVS code plus Solaris patches. > but only an empty log file was created on /tmp.
