KVM on stock Ubuntu Server 14.04.03, running on dual Xeon E5504. It looks like the crash is related to the NIC. I was using SRIOV with an Intel 82576 NIC. But now I see that if I switch to an emulated rtl8139 NIC, I can successfully boot the OI and OmniOS stable ISOs. > > As for OmniOS on virtualized environments: > > - Matt already pointed out OmniOS works well on VMware.

It's based on r151014 instead or r151016. Do you know who to bug to get a new Vagrant build? -Alan _______________________________________________ developer mailing list developer@open-zfs.org http://lists.open-zfs.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
