[OpenIndiana-discuss] A KVM switch broke my server?! Lightdm is panic'ing the kernel

Still beating my head against this, I checked the NVidia drivers

According to the machine :

dmesg | grep -i nvi
Sep  4 11:35:11 skaro pseudo: [ID 129642 kern.info] pseudo-device: nvidia255
Sep  4 11:35:11 skaro genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] nvidia255 is 
/pseudo/nvidia at 255
Sep  4 11:35:11 skaro nvidia_modeset: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Loading 
NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms 390.144  Wed Jun  2 
22:57:33 UTC 2021
Sep  4 11:35:17 skaro nvidia_modeset: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Unloading

So it's got 390.144, and physically, it has a Geforce GT 1030 in it, 
which matches :

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/177153/en-us

So it should be the right driver for that card.

the Xorg.0 logfile :

carl at skaro:/var/log$ grep -i nvid *
grep: can't open "authlog"
grep: can't open "lightdm"
Xorg.0.log:[   277.419] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
Xorg.0.log:[   277.419] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module  390.144  Wed Jun 2 
22:58:50 UTC 2021
Xorg.0.log:[   277.439] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
Xorg.0.log:[   277.441] (II) Loading

Xorg.0.log:[   277.445] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver  390.144 Wed Jun  
2 23:00:36 UTC 2021
Xorg.0.log:[   277.445] (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported 
NVIDIA GPUs

Nothing weird about the driver :

ls -la /usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers/amd64/nvidia_drv.so
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     bin      7966304 Aug 13 18:01 
/usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers/amd64/nvidia_drv.so

I am *stumped*. I have run out of things to check and eliminate.

Carl
