HT is implemented in the processor, not the OS, although it affects the code paths used for CPU power management. It's unusual to find problems exposed by SMT (HT) but not SMP since resources such as caches are shared in the SMT case. Appending the following line to /etc/system and booting again with -k may give more details about the corruption: set kmem_flags = 0xf -Albert _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
