I haven't been able to upgrade since the July patches. I believe it has something to do with

• missing MCFG table should lead to I/O PCIe config access (illumos 6859)

Which seems to be tripping up on my machine. The symptom is that the console displays (this is a capture before r151020 which behaves the same):

SunOS Release 5.11 Version omnios-r151818-95eaa7e 64-bit

and then hangs. The system logs are empty so it happens early in the boot process. If anyone has a suggestion on how to get past this, I'm all ears.

I'm also open to picking up a new machine like the HP Gen8. I'm using this as a (very) small SOHO server to do email, web, and file services. The current machine is a 1U unit which has a motherboard similar to the SunFire v20, 4 disks: 2 mirrored 5TB(archive), 2 mirrored ~300GB drives (rpool), and 8 GB of RAM which works well for my purpose.

The goal is to configure the new machine similarly. I'm looking for recommendations on what configuration I should get and any gotchas to be concerned about. I'm looking forward to the reduced noise and power consumption. :)

Thanks in advance,
Gary
