[OpenIndiana-discuss] GPU HCL - nVidia Questions & Advice

[Guy Woolley]

  Edward,
               The system dies at the point you would expect Gnome to 
fire up - that's the effect of the kernel bug. But you can start OI if 
you choose the VESA option, and from there you can switch to the NV 
driver which comes with OI, which is what I've done. Illumos are aware 
of the problem and it's being reviewed by Colin Ellis for them.
