Hi all:

I'm trying to get Solaris 11 running in a SmartOS KVM zone. However, I'm
seeing the error "couldn't find suitable memory target".

Here's a screenshot http://imgur.com/AU6AeQ8
To get that level of detail, I set debug=all, and set pager=1 in the grub
menu before booting it up.

While I passed -k to the the $multiboot $kern $kern, a reading of the grub2
source shows me that it is grub which has faced the error before even going
to hand over control to the Solaris kernel.

FYI, here's the equivalent on Solaris 11 on VMWare Fusion, where I was able
to install Solaris 11 successfully : http://imgur.com/B2eWKYe

Here's how I'm starting the KVM instance.
[root@00-1e-67-99-81-d3 /zones/9310d9b3-e6bd-44a5-a156-b452c5e471f9/root]#

The md5sum of my ISO image is 99a71c71bdbf7d9649fc2f24185a6934.

Here's the json that I'm using to set up the KVM Zone:
