I would like to use the i3's HD530 to drive one of adafruit.com's 800x480 touch screen's. An X server in portrait mode on a display that has only 1 mode and might not auto-negotiate well: so decent video support would be nice. But I can live without that as long as I can install and use a serial console, even if it takes some additional simple video card. I don't need audio (it's home heavy-NAS server), nor Thunderbolt at the moment. I see both network adapters, I219-LM and I handful of entries for I210, hoping one is -AT. I see my LSI SAS2308, but not the Marvell 88SE9215, but there are other options, especially if all 6 on-board SATA ports work. Any idea about the Mellanox ConnectX-2 I see ConnectX. Not a show stopper. so - does anyone know if OI boots on an ASUS Z170? I found a Nov 2015 article about UFEI on an ASUS Z170-A, it looks as though CSM was enabled and legacy options were the default. Can anyone confirm with recent BIOS? -- joe ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ASUS Z170-WS
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.

Gabriele Thanks all for feedback, I suggest trying with OI Hipster 20160421 ISO/USB image to try it out. (http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/hipster/) How much RAM do you have? Do you use text install because intel graphics driver DVD/USB does not work? If already installed and running some previous illumos/OI one can do beadm create, then beadm mount and delete all itt's contents , beadm unmount, and then zfs send/zfs receive -F to that new BE's dataset, to get copy of already installed OI on another machine/VirtualBox, having existing BE and data intact (always have backups,too of course). That won't help testing and fixing installing but could help you running it in general on that hardware. I suppose legacy USB support should be enabled if you want USB keyboard support before system boots. Not being able to boot form USB-connected DVD is separate (I think illumos) issue. Not being able to use USB keyboard during GRUB stage should be reported to illumos. Anyway, post bug reports , please, stating exact Openindiana snapshot/release you tried (suggest 20160421 to be current), so that they can be recorded and get more info if needed to be solved later. (Or so you can test things to help solving). We surely need more testing and thank you for reporting and involvment, feel free to send more feedbacks.. ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

My keyboard WAS working fine after install (on extra PCIe USB 2.0 card, because 2 on-board USB 2.0 slots did not let me use keyboard as USB, but just PS/2 in legacy mode ONLY). That behavior has changed with some Illumos changes after March 29.03.2016 (was not searching net to see what was changed, I have hit VirtualBox crashing because SMAP feature added to Illumos - see http://wiki.openindiana.org/pages/diffpages.action?pageId=22773825&originalId=30802442 note) Right now, on grub screen I cannot use USB keyboard (which works later, after system is booted; which is another problem - not relevant to topic).

I had the same issue last week. First I guess there was a issue during writing the data to the USB I tested the USB on several systems, the only that was working was an old ASUS netboot (eee-pc) So I guess it must have to do something with 32/64Bit or processor type, all other systems which are not working are 64bit May this help Regards Christian ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
