[OpenIndiana-discuss] Kernel panic trying to install OI

2010-10-22 Thread russell

 Hi Thorsten,

I found that I experienced a similar kernel panic when attempting to 
perform a clean install of OpenIndiana which would occur at around 2% of 
the installation on a consistent basis.


I eventually worked out that I had to use GParted to delete any 
partitions on the boot disc prior to selecting Install OpenIndiana, the 
other thing I did was not change the hostname until after OpenIndiana 
has been installed.


Hope that helps.

Russell

If one of you can reproduce the panic, can you copy the stack trace in
panic message? I guess it wouldn't have written a crash dump, so you
may have to boot with the '-k' flag appended to the 'kernel' line in
GRUB, and the 'splashimage' line as well as 'console=graphics' removed
(needs both, or the console will still not be visible). That way the
system won't reboot immediately.

This should help us identify the bug.

Thanks,
