Guys; Uh guys.......
Here's an attempt to install via virt-install a paravirtualized Solaris 10 x86 (8/07). (For those who did not follow my previous post, the host machine was booted using xVM Hypervisor and Neveda Build 77 as Dom0) **************************************************************************************** #virt-install -d --para --name=Solaris --ram 768 --file /dev/zvol/dsk/datahome/Solaris --location=/export/home/admin/iso-images/Solaris/sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd-iso --nographics Starting install...

When booted without xVM the shutdown includes power off. I'm guessing that the xVM layer does not properly call the ACPI interface? Warmest Regards Steven Sim Fujitsu Asia Pte.
