Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] New laptop compatibility? System76?
Integrators such as star labs would consider undertaking testing on oios if you were a potential customer. Integrators Tux computers Germany have not responded. Clevo may announce their new models for 2020 soon. https://www.clevo.com.tw/index-en.asp# Robert https://starlabs.systems/pages/star-labtop-compare On 23/11/2019 20:07, Dr Peter jones wrote: Dear Leonard, https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/lafiteIV-15/ System 76 customises the clevo chassis for particular distributions. You may consider asking system 76 to build you a custom machines or purchase a standard clevo laptop from PC specialists and swop out components yourself. It is unknown if clevo is planning an AMD version this year.

I wonder about their latest offerings.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Failed (?) boot/set-up on DELL Optiplex 780. Any solution...?
Hi - OK. Checked with ‘txt‘ DVD option - result the same. Also tryied with USB ‘txt’ boot option - also no booting... See - screen.

In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Failed (?) boot/set-up on DELL...: Hi - OK. Checked with ‘txt‘ DVD option - result the same. Also tryied with USB ‘txt’ boot option - also no booting... That's unexpected. I don't have a 780 that I can try, though I did just try an Optiplex 7010 and the USB txt booted there (but only in BIOS mode, not in UEFI mode). The 7010 is perhaps 3-4 years newer than the 780, though, so it's not a great comparison. From what I can see online, the Optiplex 780 is from 2010 and comes with either a Core 2 Duo, a Core 2 Quad, or a Core 2 Celeron. All of those should be 64 bit capable, which is a requirement for modern OpenIndiana. About all I can suggest is checking to see if the BIOS version is A15, which appears to be the latest for the 780. If not, try upgrading to that version to see if it makes a difference. See - screen. Is that any command I can input after the prompt ‘boot:‘ displayed...??? You can enable verbose boot via the menu, though depending on where the boot is failing that might not display any additional information. Others that know the loader better may have ideas for things to try. The output from lsdev and possibly the output from show might be useful to them (or not).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Failed (?) boot/set-up on DELL Optiplex 780. Any solution...?
Hi - yes, the BIOS is newest available - 'A15'. The only concert I have is mechanism called 'Intel MEBx' -> 'Intel Management Engine BIOS Extention'. Available on main-board of this DELL... There is 'check mark' to disable it (?) - but that not helped. However - previously I installed/tested on this PC: 'Debian', 'TrueBSD', 'LinuxMint' - all installations/boots not caused problems... Trying 'OI' boot/install - up to now - failed... With ~4 different boot media (2 x USB and 2 x DVD). Maybe someone tried to install 'OI' on this or similar machine and have some advice...? Rgds... D.
