OpenIndiana stuck in reboot loop

[mohd-akram]

Describe the issue I can't seem to boot into OpenIndiana. I'm using the 2020.10 Live DVD. It reaches up to Booting..., stays there a bit and then restarts.

Configuration

• UTM Version: 2.0.22
• OS Version: 11.2.3
• Intel or Apple Silicon? Intel

I can't get it to boot from QEMU either. It may be a QEMU issue. If you can get it to work in QEMU, please reopen this, otherwise you may have to communicate with the QEMU devs.

Thanks for verifying, I'm very much a QEMU noob. I'll check with the QEMU folks. Thanks for this awesome app!

This works in virt-manager, so it seems to be a UTM issue. This is the command line it uses:

libvirt adds a lot of commands. I was wondering if you can get it running on just QEMU (and I presume you are running this on macOS).

[mohd-akram]

So the magical incantation that fixes the crash is -machine hpet=off:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
 -machine hpet=off \
 -accel hvf \
 -m size=1048576k \
 -cdrom OI-hipster-gui-20230502.iso

It seems virt-manager defaults to hpet being off. Maybe UTM should do the same.

Thanks for finding this. I’ll add this to the next update.
