Or, why does the 20201031 usb image text install crash

What is AMD XIII? I have three AMD Ryzen systems. None of them behave
that way. This is the one I use most often:
<mills@qtpie:1309>$ psrinfo -vp
The physical processor has 8 cores and 16 virtual processors (0-15)
...
x86 (AuthenticAMD 800F82 family 23 model 8 step 2 clock 3200 MHz)
AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor
The install is slow as a dog in graphics or text modes.
That may not be a problem. After all, you only install once.
It either bootloops just after
zfs0 /pseudo/zfs@0
or it dumps core at the first language choice screen.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
That certainly could be a problem. Did you capture the core file
or record the traceback?
Thank you *very* much for the reply.
It's an AMD Athlon II X3 @3Ghz w/8Gb RAM
It's on an AM2+ board -- I know. But still...
Anyway. The failures I indicated here turned out to be a bad PSU.
I've since replaced it, and I get to the color Welcome screen.
But, a couple things; the (onboard) Nivdia Gigabit port (nge0)
causes OI all kinds of grief -- loop message regarding ipsec, followed
by dhcpd error(s). Finding that, I simply unplugged it, and shoved
an Atheros WiFi card in it. Restarted the install, and got No disk
drives found. Well, the BIOS finds and confirms it's in good shape.
Will allow me to boot from it. But not OI. Oh it's sata (II). Anyway;
I replace the drive, and boot the OI install. Same problem -- No
drive found.
Sigh...
I'm not here to complain; well maybe a little ;-)
But really. I'd just like to discover *why* the OI install is so
unhappy. Any thoughts || suggestions? It's an Nvidia chipset
(NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE & nForce 430 chipset)
That's about all I think I could add.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond, Gary!

Well I found a drive that had OI (illuminos-dde7ba523f) installed
on an old AMD 2 core sempron and plugged it in. It booted it, and
apparently re-configured itself to the (current) hardware.
I just wish I could perform an OI *install* to this. It's clear
that the hardware is supported. I even tried the text || gui install
images that installed what's now running on it. Confusing.
