Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Stack not written error on install attempt
Oh, I think I know what that problem is. I saw problems with my Radeon X1550 PCI. That board has a PCI to PCI-E bridge on it, and I had similar issues you are reporting with Solaris 10 and Solaris Express. Early on (S10U6/7) I could get systems to boot with that board in, but then the system would enumerate all the normal ISA/PCI devices as PCI-E. Later version of Solaris just crashed with that board in. I think the PCI/PCI-E routing code in Solaris just gets supremely confused by the bridge and just gives up the ghost. I wonder if that NVidia card also has a PCI-PCIE bridge. I've got an extra Radeon PCI X1550 to loan to an OI/Illumos developer wants to take a shot at this Ben On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 4:58 PM, Daniel Kjar dk...@elmira.edu wrote: i pulled the video card and it booted and installed fine.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] AMD Phenom II X6 + 870 chipset, feedback?
AFAIK, you shouldn't have any problems with AMD procs. Sun used to ship servers with AMD procs so unless someone's gone and yanked all that code from the kernel (highly unlikely) then you shouldn't have any troubles. Drivers for the motherboard, on the other hand, so long as there isn't anything too cutting edge in the way of controller chipsets ...? -Gary ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Stack not written error on install attempt
That really sounds like it might be it since other oses work with it. I will just sit on it then I am going to use sunrays to talk with that server anyway.

Just [oi] sounds good - it'll let us identify mails visually, though having said that, I now wonder how important that is.
