reproduced with latest vanilla qemu-kvm .. i've just build it without any optimalizations like this: `./configure --prefix=$HOME/chroot/opt/qemu-kvm-0.13rc1; make`
(qemu) info version info version 0.12.91 (qemu-kvm-0.13.0-rc1) it acts just same .. i'm trying at first to hunt down what has happend in sunos kernel .. well, i hope that we'll be able to fix it as soon as possible because it's just very miserable that we're unable to use the best (in my opinion) virtualization platform .. regards, daniel -- emulated netcards don't work with recent sunos kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. Status in QEMU: New Bug description: hi there, i'm using qemu-kvm backend in version: # qemu-kvm -version QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.5 (qemu-kvm-0.12.5), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard and there are just *not working any of model=$type with combinations of recent sunos (solaris, openindiana, opensolaris, ..) .. you can download for testing purposes iso from here: http://dlc-origin.openindiana.org/isos/147/ or from here: http://genunix.org/distributions/indiana/ << osol and oi are also bubuntu-like *live cds, so no need to bother with installing behaviour is as follows: e1000 - receiving doesn't work, transmitting works .. dladm (tool for handle ethers) shows that is all ok, correct mode is loaded up, it just seems like this driver works at 100% but .. rtl8169|pcnet - works in 10Mbit mode with several other issues like high cpu utilization and so .. dladm is unable to recognize options for this kind of -nic others - just don't work .. i experienced this issue several times in past .. woraround was, that rtl8169 worked so-so .. with recent sunos kernel it doesn't. it's easy to reproduce, this is why i'm not putting here more then launching script for my virtual machine: # cat openindiana.sh qemu-kvm -hda /home/kvm/openindiana/openindiana.img -m 2048 -localtime -cdrom /home/kvm/+images/oi-dev-147-x86.iso -boot d \ -vga std -vnc :9 -k en-us -monitor unix:/home/kvm/openindiana/instance,server,nowait \ -net nic,model=e1000,vlan=1 -net tap,ifname=oi0,script=no,vlan=1 & sleep 2; ip l set oi0 up; ip a a 192.168.99.9/24 dev oi0; regards by daniel
