not sure if this is the right place for report this, on my working KVM test ring with a Intel 2600K cpu I start to test several guest OS, CentOS6 and Debian 6.0.2 both work great with good i/o and network performance, but on Solaris 10 u10 08/11 installation went ok, however network hang after a few packets are sent, e.g: ssh to guest OS hang after a few commands are issued, this is a know problem?

QEMU options used:

VNIC=2
VM=lacerta
VNC=2
CD=sol-10-u10-ga2-x86-dvd.iso
DISK=disk0
MAC=$(/usr/sbin/dladm show-vnic -po macaddress vnic${VNIC})
sudo /smartdc/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-boot cd \
-enable-kvm \
-vnc 0.0.0.0:${VNC} \
-smp 2 \
-m 2048 \
-no-hpet \
-localtime \
-drive file=/dev/zvol/rdsk/lpool/kvm/${VM}/disk0,if=ide,index=0 \
-drive file=/export/home/calmeida/Downloads/${CD},media=cdrom,if=ide,index=2 \
-net nic,vlan=0,name=net0,model=e1000,macaddr=${MAC} \
-net vnic,vlan=0,name=net0,ifname=vnic${VNIC},macaddr=${MAC} \
-vga std
