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

[Gordon Ross]

There is apparently a regression between oi_147 and oi_148 on some
machines, which makes keyboard/mouse and/or ATA disks unusable. It
still needs investigation (I would, but no time just now).

See, for example:

http://www.illumos.org/issues/551
http://www.illumos.org/issues/563

I'm guessing something to do with ACPI and/or power management, as
the devices act like they're powered off.  But that's just a guess.
