[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI-dev-148 failure on V20z

[Deano]

Hi Marion,
That's great that you want to help find and fix the bug you've seem to have
discovered :)
As its low level, it's likely more in the illumos sphere, so might be worth
asking there about it.
Another simple thing to try would be the experimental OI on illumos build to
see if it occurs with the future OI core.

If you use IRC, it might be an idea to join the illumos and oi-dev channels,
to get some more real-time debugging assistance.

Thanks,
Deano

Thanks for the references to the net installer.  When I get back to it
on Monday, I'll probably try installing from USB as well.

However, given that S11-Express 2010-11 installs from the CD drive just
fine, and that it can also read the OI-148 CD just fine on this machine, it
seems clear that there's something "wrong" in OI-148, not with the hardware.

So, while a net-install or USB-install are workarounds, I am still looking
for some advice on diagnosing and helping to fix this problem, so future
revs of OpenIndiana will not have this obstacle.  I'm offering our hardware
and a bit of my time toward solving this problem.  We've got six of these
V20z's, and we're also feeling trapped in Oracle-land, so helping to improve
the alternatives to the gold-plated offerings from Oracle seems like a
worthwhile investment.

Regards,

Marion
