    Hi,

    Since that bug, I have converted to  only Intel cpus, openindiana 
runs great on the corei3 system i just build :-)     However, that last 
amd cpu i bought that openindiana installed   was  an amd athlon 2 x4 
620. seems that bug only relies on the dual core anthlon 2.

   Regards
   Edward
