[OpenIndiana-discuss] Problems after updating to latest Hipster - OI-packaged Nvidia versions

[Lou Picciano]

OK - Following on to this thread… As I’m testing out an ancient Nvidia card on this machine, logs at boot are requesting reversion to nvidia-390.

So: 
$ pkg uninstall nvidia-460
$ reboot (though the system no longer properly reboots since the last several updates; deadman timeout, then ‘hard’ reboot required.
	- topic for a different thread, I imagine.)
	- (In addition, zones set to autoboot do not (autoboot) - perhaps due to now very-long/much-longer process of mounting all ZFS systems?)
$ pkg install nvidia-390
$ svcadm clear lighted:default
