I've not noticed xenified kernel on S10 U6 DVD.
and also don't expect S10 U6 kernel to support pv_ops , what is,
in general,  enough to run in DomU.
However, looks like PV drivers are in place (just a guess).
Installing S10U6 HVM at Xen 3.3 Ubuntu Hardy Dom0 ( hypervisor backported from 
Intrepid Release) , i was able to obtain IP via bridge with
vif = ['bridge=eth0'] and successfully run installed HVM DomU (32-bit)
Notation vif = ['type=ioemu,bridge=eth0'] didn't allow to get IP
during DHCP install.

Gurus;

I've been running Solaris 10 on a HVM domain on my machine (running SXCE 
snv_93 x86) for some time now.

Now that Solaris 10 Update 6 (10/08) has been released, I tried creating 
a Paravirtualized Guest domain but got the same error message I got 
previously...

# virt-install -n sol10 -p -r 1560 --nographics -f 
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/sol10 -l /stage/sol-10-u6->

Starting install...
Could not find an installable distribution at 
'/stage/sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso'
Domain installation may not have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start sol10'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.

I see some people on this list successfully creating and running a PV 
domain using Solaris 10....

Does Solaris 10 Update 6 (10/08) support full paravirtualization on xVM?

Warmest Regards
