OpenSolaris update to version 2009.06 in VirtualBox

[Sigismundo]

Hello,

I have run into the following problem while trying to update OpenSolaris 2008.11 to 2009.06 running in VirtualBox 2.2.4. The system creates a new boot environment, but when I try to boot into it, I get this message:

"cpu0: failed to upgrade microcode from version 0x0 to 0x17",

whereupon I get sent to the console login.

I found a similar bug description on a website http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase ... id=6757123 :

"Virtual machines typically do not allow a guest OS to update
the microcode. An unmodified guest OS cannot tell that it's
running on a virtual machine, therefore it diligently reported
the failure. The user of the guest OS should report such warning
to the virtual machine vendors to let them know
- The virtual machine should allow reading of the microcode
version
- That their microcode is way out of date."

Does anybody know a fix for this? Alternatively, does anybody know which package I need to exclude from the update in order not to change the microcode?

Thank you very much.
