Hi, I tried the options, and it seems it moved some more forward: after the kernel boot message on top, I got a notice about "detected 8 cpus, but 2 enabled at boot". Then I got a "splat" from the soundcard, and again nothing. I already patched the kernel for the "Loud splat", as stated here: https://www.illumos.org/issues/4316 but now I'm not sure if the iso CD was prepared before the patch... Any other clue? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Da: Udo Grabowski (IMK) A: [email protected] Cc: Gabriele Bulfon Data: 17 marzo 2014 13.19.25 CET Oggetto: Re: [discuss] Illumos on Dell Precision M4500 On 17/03/2014 12:17, Gabriele Bulfon wrote: Hi, I'm trying to install XStreamOS Desktop on a Dell precision M4500. The DVD loads fine, the kernel starts, then hangs without ever going to the text install phase. I found an old post of someone trying to do the same still with OpenSolaris, back at that times, having the same problem, never finding a solution. Anybody running XStreamOS, OI, or another illumos based distro on this laptop? I'm sure there is something to be hacked on the bios... Also, I would install it on an external disk, without disrupting the original content of the laptop, so to be able to boot both original windows and/or the external XStream. Any help? Add -B apix_enable=0,acpi-user-options=0x2 to the kernel line on grub boot (type e before the machine boots). If that helps, try without the acpi option. -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.f.Meteorology a.Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology http://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026
