[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI install on current gen desktop motherboards?

[Till Wegmueller]

Hey Carl

I don't know about Intel newest gen Most developers in illumos which we 
are based on are on AMD Ryzen now.

If you don't know if one of the illumos developers runs a modern Chipset 
there is a good chance it's a bit too modern and will need custom build 
again.

I know one illumos developers was recently asking for somebody to test 
Ryzen3 Support but nobody volunteered.
