Hi,
I tried to install VirtualBox v3.1.8 under OpenIndiana but cause my computer to lock up and it also failed to reboot successfully.
I have now installed VirtualBox v3.2.8 but with errors (see below)
[ verifying class <manifest> ]
## Executing postinstall script.
Checking for older bits...
Installing new ones...
Loading VirtualBox kernel modules...
- Loaded: Host module
- Loaded: NetAdapter module
- Loaded: NetFilter module
* Warning!! Failed to determine Solaris 5.11 snv version. Skipped installing USB support.

Updating the boot archive...
Installation of <SUNWvbox> was successful.

I have successfully run my Windows XP VBox, more testing is required.
Given the discussion of the OpenSolaris Forums http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa ... 5&tstart=0 ,
reporting that the OpenSolaris brand is being retired http://www.cmswire.com/cms/information- ... 008649.php
Given that OpenIndiana.org developers aims to be binary and package compatible with Solaris 11 and Solaris 11 Express http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Frequent ... +Questions
can
1) OpenIndiana be used for testing
Update...
I am getting around 50fps when running Stellarium 0.10.4 under Windows XP
Update...
VirtualBox v3.2.10 installs and runs okay, I used the uname script method to temporarily replace /sbin/uname before adding the package and then removing it after the installation has completed.

Confirmed - I also installed VBox 3.2.8 on my oi147 and it also failed to wrap it's head around the changed/missing snv prefix.
Hopefully, there will be a fix for that in the future.

Re: VirtualBox v3.2.8 running on OpenIndiana b147
For the time being replace /sbin/uname with a script to fake the output of uname -r and uname -v
This is what I use:
CMD=$1
case $CMD in
'-r' )
echo "5.11"
;;
'-v' )
echo "snv_134"
;;
'help' | * )
echo "help"
;;
esac
exit 0
cu

Well, that doesn't seem to do the trick:
* Warning!! Failed to determine Solaris 5.11 snv version. Skipped installing USB support.

You nee to replace /sbin/uname instead!
/usr/bin/uname is just a link to /sbin/uname

Re: VirtualBox v3.2.8 running on OpenIndiana b147
I had the same error "Failed to determine Solaris 5.11 snv version. Skipped installing USB support".
The workaround is to unpack the .pkg file, edit the installation script and reinstall.
VirtualBox USB support seems to work fine after that.
Details, as I posted on the openindiana-discuss mailing list:
Unpack the package:
# pkgtrans VirtualBox-3.2.8-SunOS-r64453.pkg .
(note the "." at the end of the command). This extracts the package into a directory called SUNWvbox.
Edit SUNWvbox/reloc/opt/VirtualBox/vboxconfig.sh and replace all references to "snv" with "oi".
Reinstall virtualbox, from the modified directory (not from the pkg file)
# pkgrm SUNWvbox
# pkgadd -d . SUNWvbox
now there should be an error about vboxconfig.sh not matching size and checksum.
Edit SUNWvbox/pkgmap and fix the size and checksum of vboxconfig.sh
(the installer tells you the new values)
reinstall again
# pkgrm SUNWvbox
# pkgadd -d . SUNWvbox
No errors now.
HTH
