The hald segv & core dump should be this bug: Bug ID 6811793 Synopsis hald crashes because supported_frequencies_Hz is null http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6811793 Should be fixed in buils 111. > I also get a boot-time warning message that the > Hypervisor failed to accept the Ucode update. > > For precision, I can *only* boot into xVM whereas a > normal boot or even a failsafe boot fails by hanging > on snv_110. when I tried snv_109 a while back, none > of the three worked... Could this be bug 6818681? The ahci driver started to use msi interrupts, since build 109. On some chipsets (nvidia?) this doesn't work. When you boot xVM, msi interrupts are not yet supported; so that build 109 ahci works ok under xVM. Bug ID 6818681 Synopsis disable MSI interrupt for nVidia MCP78s [GeForce 8200] AHCI chipset http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6818681 Workaround: disable msi interrupts for ahci, add the next line to /etc/system and reboot: set ahci:ahci_msi_enabled=0 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
