In regard to: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ASUS Z170-WS, Joe Reid said (at 5:57pm...:
I was thinking of migrating from Solaris to OI and was wondering if anyone knew of the ASUS Z170-WS mobo works? What's the current state of Skylake and the Z170 chipset?
What's your timeline for doing this? I ask, because I'm doing a build for Windows using a relative of that board, and I could try OI hipster on it just to see what works, before I do the actual install of Windows. It will probably be a few weeks before I'm in a position to try it, though. Without even testing it, I know that the USB3 or 3.1 support won't work, since Illumos doesn't support USB 3. I also can't remember if the ASUS Z170 boards are UEFI only; based on a recent comment (I think from Alexander), Illumos doesn't support UEFI boot. That could be a show-stopper. I'll be certain to update the HCL on the OpenIndiana wiki when I have the board and can test it, but as I said, that will be several weeks yet.
