I have such a computer, which I intended to upgrade to 2017.04<br>
<br>
Is booting on a live-usb a valid test for presence/absence of<br>
further problems ahead ? (IOW is the problem in the new loader or<br>
in the kernel ?)<br>

<br></span>
As nobody told whether the issue lies within the new loader or<br>
in the kernel, and bug #8169 pointed at an issue in the loader,<br>
I tried updating the current installation with the grub loader<br>
kept in place (BE_HAS_GRUB=true in /etc/default/be).<br>
<br>
After the update, I can only boot into the new BE in single user<br>
mode. Two kinds of errors are displayed :<br>
<br>
1) svc:/system/metainit: default:<br>
method "lib/svc/method/svc-metainit"<br>
failed with exit status 127<br>
(shown three times then transitioned to maintenance).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This one is documented as resulting from an incorrect deprecation of a service.<br></div><div>It is fixed with svccfg delete metainit.<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">
<br>
2) APIC Error interrupt on CPU 1. Status 0 = 0, Status 1 = 80<br>
This second error is traditional on this computer and is<br>
normally avoided by the boot option "acpi-user-options=0x2"<br>
which was in place.<br>
<br>
Are these the errors which I was warned against ?<br>
<br>
Have they something to do with bug #8169 ?<br>
<br>
Do they mean I am kicked out, or is there a way to update<br>
to the latest state before the bug was created ?<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Only install media is affected as the bug was fixed the day after the release:<br><br><a href="https://www.illumos.org/issues/8119">https://www.illumos.org/issues/8119</a><br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
