solarisx86_64 guests freeze on x86_64 linux hosts

[upendra]

Host - Gentoo-Linux - x86_64 Guests - Solaris-10-x86_64-latest patch level - 2 Guests VirtualBox Version : 3.0.2

Solaris guests freeze and become completely inaccessible. Only solution remains is reset/power off.

Can this be resolved? I am willing to help in case any more information is required to get this resolved.

Thank you and good luck!!

VBOX.log for a solaris node which was frozen and was later reset.

I forgot to mention that there is Linux and windows gues running on same version Virtualbox who continue to run without any issues. Solaris guests run fine as long as they run. They freeze after 5-10 hours of usage. I could never find these solaris guests running more than a day.
