I thought I would check the state of play with OpenIndiana and SmartOS working (booting) on desktops with Intel 5i chips or at least on Intel DQ67SW boards.

Old bug reports:
    fail to boot installer with H55 chipset with core i3
    https://www.illumos.org/issues/352
and
Installation on Intel H55 chipset with Core i3 does not work with osol_134
    https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=15976

I tried the latest SmartOS ISO to see if any changes have happened but the boot process failed in the same position. I have the same problem with the last OpenIndiana iso install image and the old Solaris 11 Express. Strangely Solaris 11 now works, which did take be by surprise, so it would be good if Illumos kernel get fix this problem.

Here is the debug output of the boot process (Intel DQ67SW):
-------

ehci0 is /pci@0,0/pci8086,38@1a

PCI Express-device: pci8086,38@1d, ehci1
