[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on HP ProLiant Microserver Gen8

[Jarrad Piper]

I've just received my Gen8 Microserver (G2020 model). Unfortunately the
NIC's are not detected in OI's installer. It looks like it uses a Broadcom
5720 chip which is not supported. I have tried to use the latest Broadcom
drivers for Solaris 11 but the NIC's are still not detected. For now I have
popped in an older Broadcom Dual Port NIC. Also of note is that KVM freezes
when booting a VM with this CPU (even with the suggested fix in the OI KVM
Wiki).

Jarrad.
