In theory by adding a "set dobiosdev=0" command in /etc/system. I haven't tested it, but I think the dobiosdev variable might be used very early during boot, before the /etc/system file is processed. In case the /etc/system set command doesn't work, you have to patch the dobiosdev variable in the /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix and/or /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix kernel file echo 'dobiosdev?W 0' | mdb -w /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

You are the winner! I'm up with b121 now. My 3G internet works out of the box, no need to patch the sio driver any more. Further quick tests: Oracle: check Sound: check Desktop effects: check Eclipse 3.5: check Next will be to try XEN again :) Oh btw, is there a way I can patch the kernel permanently at dobiosdev so I don't have to stop in the debugger each time during boot? -- Thank you so much, Regards, Georg. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Synopsis: "Kernel hangs during boot in startup_bios_disk with snv_120" http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6867906 In builds 120 or 120, certain x86/x64 system may hang during boot. Work-around: Boot the system under the kernel debugger by adding the arguments "-kd" to GRUB's "kernel$" entry and enter the following steps > dobiosdev/W 0 > :c -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] b121 hangs during boot on my laptop
Hi, I just tried upgrading to b121 from 2009.06. Unfortunately the new kernel does not want to boot. Trying to boot with -kv I see it is hanging very early, right after printing initialized model-specific module 'cpu_m.GenuineIntel' on chip 0 core 0 strand 0 It's not a hard lockup apparently, it responds to Ctl-Alt-Del. The laptop is a Dell Precision M65. -- Regards, Georg. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
