Guest | Guest bitness | Host version | Host cpu | Host bitness | Status | Comments |
Solaris 10 U1 | 32 | kvm-12 | Intel | 64 | Works | later releases will detect the CPU is 64 bit capable and try to default to run a 64 bit kernel and fail, for those you have to override Solaris autodetection by adding "kernel/unix" to the kernel multiboot entry in GRUB |
