I installed solaris from sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso. It were with the default rtl8138 NIC, and the installer configured rtls0 interface (so it actually at least recognizable). I left `ping -f $solaris-ip' process running for whole night - it were still running in the morning without any visible issues, at 100% CPU usage (2 cores - for ping, host kernel and kvm processes). Now, it looks like I forgot solaris enough to being unable to set up new network driver, so I can't easily switch to e1000. Maybe reinstall will be faster for me. So, basically, I can't reproduce the issue. /mjt
