I had a MacBook Pro 17" i7 that would not boot OI, either through rEFIt or MBR emulation.

He got an immediate kernel panic, and thinks that he saw a message about the CPU before the screen went blank; which leads us to believe that 2670QM may be too "new" for oi_151a. Has anyone else tried booting OpenIndiana with this CPU, or confirm whether or not it can be used? Or are we looking at the wrong explanation for the kernel panic? He also tried some other variations of Solaris: - - OpenSolaris snv_134 booted from an SSD also led to immediate kernel panic. - - Solaris 11 11/11 also got a kernel panic. - - Oddly, OpenSolaris snv_111 could be booted, after issuing warnings about a parser error in the cpudrv or cpupm module. But neither ethernet nor wireless were recognized, and the old nvidia driver didn't work (that could be updated).
