I put 3500 Mb, which was ok for live cd install through the gui.
I used the "OI-hipster-gui-20200504.iso"
The printed screen from the failed boot is attached.
The kernel seems to be dumped : module "ahci" null pointer dereference ...

Here is the annoying solution:
- The bug described in the previous post said that it was related to SATA optical drives.
- I removed the optical drive from boot order
- I changed SATA for IDE for both the HDD and optical drive
- Just change to IDE wasn't enough - Just removing the optical drive from boot wasn't enough either!
However, it is annoying because IDE isn't as good as SATA. I don't know if it is lowering the VM performance?
It should be fixed anyway...
Distribution: Solaris 11.4, Oracle Linux, Mint, Debian/WSL

Rep:
Thanks for the feedback!
I doubt using IDE vs SATA would have any noticeable impact on performance. Not sure about virtIO support in your case, but that would be the fastest solution should disk is really a bottleneck.
