He got an immediate kernel panic
I've now booted (from an oi151a CD) with the kernel debugger switched on and was able to get a stack trace -- the crash apparently happens in a call to wrmsr() within speedstep_pstate_transition(), caused by an event related to power management (cpupm). Since I have no way of saving the stack trace, I had to take a picture of it. In the hopes that attaching photos is not a netiquette violation on this list, I'll try to send it along with this message (it's a B/W PNG with about 23KB, so it shouldn't eat too much bandwidth -- my apologies if this was a no-no). As it happens, it appears to be exactly the same stack trace that I see when trying to boot Solaris 11 on the same machine (using the kernel debugger). So it would appear that the problem has something to do with power management, and might be related to some known bugs concerning cpupm: https://www.illumos.org/issues/423 https://www.illumos.org/issues/1333 But the solutions/workarounds involve editing /etc/power.conf. I'm trying to get OI to boot up in the first place, and I couldn't edit a file on CD anyway. What I want to do is install OI, so I'll need to be able to boot an installer before I can get to fixing up the installed configuration. Any ideas? Does this warrant filing a new issue at illumos.org?
