Roughly yes.

Or follow the guide at:
http://docs.openindiana.org/dev/distribution-constructor/


That is indeed where I started, but there's a lot that document doesn't
say.  As someone that's never been through the process with
distribution-constructor, I was hoping to avoid a bunch of trial and
error.

I'll update and install distribution-constructor and give it a try.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Problems after updating to latest Hipster - OI-packaged Nvidia versions

[Lou Picciano]

Thanks John - and Stephan - for your help with this. Do now have 460 installed, 
running.

A key bit was that I had not know to uninstall the ’nvidia’ pkg itself. In any 
case, your beadm-mount-to-tmp approach got me there.

Other things now going on - including the persistent deadman timeout and kernel 
dump at any reboot or state change command - whether reboot or init 6

Will post to NVIDIA thread - though I don’t know that NVIDIA drivers are even 
related.

Lou

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [oi-dev] Obstacle to GPT label boot?

[Judah Richardson]

IIRC the DE would fail to start on UEFI boot and the display would just
show a blinking cursor. This is how
 I got
OI installed and booting (albeit booting in legacy mode.)

That is tricky:D because it was installed before I wrote UEFI support for 
illumos:D (technically it is still not complete, but thats another story). 

I was thinking, what point in time to count for this landing - because we did 
add it step by step, but I think this headsup should be the mark:

https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/developer/T97536ca6fe4642cf-M727f3d9b380cd0b011197de1/headsup-or-something
 


So 2019.05 should have those bits already.

my host is a bit old already, it is Supermicro X10SAE with Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU 
E3-1246 v3 @ 3.50GHz. It is doing ok for my needs (illumos dev and build host).

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Problems after updating to latest Hipster - OI-packaged Nvidia versions

[Lou Picciano]

Think this should be a new thread - I’ve been using our own OI-packaged NVIDIA 
drivers (not any Solaris-packaged versions, discussed elsewhere)

Thought I might do some testing of latest NVIDIA driver - to perhaps help with 
the body of testing data…

Since the last several updates to OI, I’ve also been seeing the kernel dump at 
the (forced) reboot. In fact the system will no longer $ pfexec reboot cleanly. 
(Topic for a different thread?)

This system has thus far survived all iterations, starting with 134a. So really 
at this point I’m trying to man the final rampart…

Update to latest Hipster: $ uname -v
illumos-b2761fb273

Am currently running nvidia-390, which is working fine overall. Wanted to see 
if we had any issues with nvidia-460. Cannot install it directly - for 
conflicts - so have tried to remove 390 first. Obviously a few things I don’t 
know here:

The following packages all deliver file actions to :

  
pkg://openindiana.org/driver/graphics/nvidia-460@0.460.56,5.11-2020.0.1.0:20210312T154637Z
  
pkg://openindiana.org/driver/graphics/nvidia-390@0.390.141,5.11-2020.0.1.0:20210311T151457Z

Where to start? Diligently digging through the archive - I wish our archives 
were better searchable. (Is this an orphaned task waiting in the wings for a 
parent? (me?) )

Regards to All, and thanks to those of you soldiering on, putting in a lot of 
work lately.

Hope all are doing well in these surreal times…   

Lou

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [oi-dev] Obstacle to GPT label boot?

[Judah Richardson]

Thanks Toomas. A few questions about that:

   1. Which OI version was originally installed? That would help me
   pinpoint where OI UEFI support landed
   2. What hardware is this on? If it's a prebuilt PC brand and model name
   would be great. If you built the PC yourself, I'd appreciate the brand and
   model of the motherboard
