Solaris 9 will not boot
Describe the issue On a new download and installation of Solaris 9 on UTM macOS 3.2.4 (58). it starts, checks the RAM then errors out complaining that the packet length is wrong.
Configuration
- UTM Version: 3.2.4
- OS Version: 12.5
- Intel or Apple Silicon? x86
Crash log
If the app crashed, you need a crash log. To get your crash log, open Console.app, go to Crash Reports
, and find the latest entry for either QEMU, QEMUHelper, or qemu-*. Right click and choose Reveal in Finder
. Attach the report here.
Debug log
For all issues, including crashes, you should attach a debug log. Open UTM, and open the settings for the VM you wish to launch. Near the top of the QEMU
page is Debug Log
. Turn it on and save the VM. After you experience the issue, open the VM settings again and select Export Log...
and attach it here.
Upload VM
(Optional) If possible, upload the config.plist
inside the .utm
. If you do not have this, you can upload the entire .utm
but note this contains your personal data. Since Github has an attachment size limit, you may want to upload to another service such as Google Drive. Link it here.

Hello, the way to boot is in the VM description, you have to type boot disk0
the way to boot is NOT in the vm description any more. (page redesign?)
I also saw nothing about "book disk0" as part of the (very convenient) steps to get "Sun Solaris 9" working inside Version 4.2.5 (81). But "boot disk0" does work to get me to a Solaris login prompt, and then https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/sun-solaris-9 helped me know that "root" is the login
