In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] 20190511 gui/text boot fails on...:
Cool so something was better this time round with the media
Since the new ISOs and USB images are now released, unless either of you want me to test/compare something with the old ISOs, I plan to do all further testing with the 20191106 images.
What you could try is booting via UEFI mode and see if that works.
I was under the impression that UEFI boot did not work for any Illumos-based system. Has that changed? Or do you mean that testing UEFI mode might allow loader to get farther, even though booting will eventually fail because of missing UEFI support later in the process?
My guess is that Dell broke something in the old Bios Bootloader code.
That certainly could be. It's hard to understand why previously only 2 of OIs images encountered the issue, and now from Jedi's testing with the new images, it's down to just one that doesn't work.
The new error you are getting from the gui image could also be a read error. Could you post the output of lsdev from the ok prompt?
I'm still working on downloading the new images, but I will do so once I can test. Jedi may beat me to it. Tim
