Problem migrate zones solaris 10

Question

Hi,
i'm trying to migrate one non-global zone from one machine to another machine. The steps I have followed are:
1) On the machine where I have the zone that I want to migrate:
# zonecfg -z myzone export -f /myzone.cfg
# cd /export
# find zones/myzone -fstype lofs -prune -o -fstype ufs | cpio -ocm -O /myzone.cpio
2) On the second machine, I have copied the myzone.cfg and myzone.cpio, and after:
- I modified in myzone.cfg the option set physical with the correct one for this machine
# zonecfg -z myzone -f /myzone.cfg
# cd /export
# cat /myzone.cpio | cpio -icdm
# cp /etc/zones/index /etc/zones/index.bak
# perl -pi -e 's/^myzone:configured/myzone:installed/' /etc/zones/index
[root@pontevedra]# zoneadm list -icv
ID NAME STATUS PATH
0 global running /
- myzone installed /export/home/zones/myzone
But I have a problem when I boot the zone:
[root@pontevedra]# zoneadm -z myzone boot
zoneadm: zone 'servicio-zone': mount of /proc failed: No such file or directory
zoneadm: zone 'servicio-zone': call to zoneadmd failed
I don't know what happen... can anybody helpme?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Darren,
Thanks God I've succesfully installed Solaris 10 to my laptop, after "swimming" for a while in google :)
It said that this was a bug of Solaris 10 when installed in PC with Pentium III or II processors.
Here is the solutions (hope someone with same problem with me could find it useful) :
1. After the GRUB menu appears, edit the kernel line then append -kd at the end (to enter kmdb upon boot), then boot
2. Then type this command when kmdb prompt shows, [0]>
[0]> cmi_no_init/W1
[0]> :c 3. It should boot and run without problem, then follow the installation menu and option
4. After reboot, again follow step 1 & 2 when GRUB menu shows. I promise this is the last time :)
5. To make it permanent, add this following instruction to */etc/system* once the system up
set cmi_no_init=1//Henry
