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

[Bryan N Iotti]

Maybe you could try disabling ACPI in BIOS if possible, or otherwise use 
the acpi-user-options=0x2 at boot.

Read here for more info on disabling ACPI on boot:

BTW and OT, I hadn't even thought that attaching an image to message 
here might have been bad etiquette/netiquette, so I apologize for that.
