Hi all, maybe the usual advice would work: try to disable ACPI by
editing the GRUB boot line when the installer is booting and adding
-acpi-user-config=0x2 ?
If that works and you can install, you might then try to use the
"eeprom" command to see what levels work for you.
0x2 is completely disabled.
0x4 allows hyperthreading
0x8 is the older Solaris 10 ACPI behaviour (not sure on the version)
Hope this helps...

I don't have much in the way of details but I'm using that board with the Xeon
equivalent (X3430) an 16GB of RAM. I never had a single hiccup or any thoughts
of tweaking the install process. In fact I bounced between Sol11 and OI for a
bit until I settled on OI, with never a thought on the install procedure.
Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck!

Hello,
I have attempted to install Open Indiana 15a on a SuperMicro X8SIL
motherboard with 8 GB of ram and an Intel Core i3 CPU. I created the
usb installer from mac os X as described in the wiki.
I was able to boot the X8SIL-F from the usb, but after I select the
version of open Indiana to boot (I have tried all the variants
starting with the first) and select the language US-English [47] and
select the English keyboard [7] I see a message reading 'configuring
system' and it reboots. I've tried several times and the result is the
same.
I don't have any expansion cards and have tested the memory.
I looked up my motherboard on the motherboard matrix on the oi wiki
and found this result:
mATX
Intel 82574L dual nic and IPMI.
tested under oi_148b
I have also tried yanking one of the memory chips and operating with
4 GB of ram.
Could it be that 15a is not compatible with the X8SIL-F motherboard?
If so is there a place where I can download the old oi_148b version?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
