[OpenIndiana-discuss] Kernel panic with Intel i7-2670QM CPU (HP EliteBook 8560w)

[Lou Picciano]

Geoff, 

On the face of it, this looks remarkably like the power management and interrupt issues many (including Yours Truly!) are seeing on SandyBridge CPUs (our is an i7-2600K). These problems often manifest as an 'Interrupt Storm'. Check the bug lists for reports - and some suggested workarounds. 

Trying to work through what I think is the next iteration of this problem; that I can reliably crash our build machine with the -j(n) option to gcc. 

More to follow...

Hello all, 

A colleague attempted to boot oi_151a from CD on an HP EliteBook 8560w 
laptop: 

http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/321957-321957-64295-3740645-4307559-5071171.html 

... the variant with Intel i7-2670QM. He got an immediate kernel panic, 
and thinks that he saw a message about the CPU before the screen went 
blank; which leads us to believe that 2670QM may be too "new" for oi_151a. 

Has anyone else tried booting OpenIndiana with this CPU, or confirm 
whether or not it can be used? Or are we looking at the wrong 
explanation for the kernel panic? 

He also tried some other variations of Solaris: 

- - OpenSolaris snv_134 booted from an SSD also led to immediate kernel 
panic. 

- - Solaris 11 11/11 also got a kernel panic. 

- - Oddly, OpenSolaris snv_111 could be booted, after issuing warnings 
about a parser error in the cpudrv or cpupm module. But neither ethernet 
nor wireless were recognized, and the old nvidia driver didn't work 
(that could be updated). 


Thanks, 
Geoff
