[OpenIndiana-discuss] Upgrading from 134b to 148 fails

[Jonathan Adams]

For the LiveCD:

not sure if it's affected, but when you do the live install, have you
unplugged and re-inserted the keyboard/mouse, possibly in different
sockets ... I know our v20z's were a little shaky ...

otherwise, if you have the ILOM working then it might well be worth
trying to control the keyboard and mouse over that interface.
