VirtualBox 5.1.6 Panics Solaris 12 Build 109

[dmmarx]

I run VirtualBox 5.1.6 on my new Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 running Solaris 12 build 109, with my previous created Virtual environments. When I start a Virtual Machine, the Solaris 12 system panics.

First as I boot up Solaris I see which I will guess doesn't matter: Oct 11 21:11:56 fantasia1 krtld: [ID 711624 kern.warning] WARNING: Signature verification of module /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/amd64/vboxdrv failed

Then when I run virtualbox with:

% uname -a
SunOS fantasia1 5.12 s12_109 i86pc i386 i86pc
% export VBOX_GUI_DBG_ENABLED=true
% export VBOX_GUI_DBG_AUTO_SHOW=true
% VirtualBox

as I start a Virtual Machine, VirtualBox immediately draws improperly on the screen with black splotches, (like it does not know the screen resolution). Then the screen goes blank, and the system panics.

closing as obsolete both Solaris and Virtualbox moved on since these 3 years and no report of this has been seen in the wild.
