So here?s the deal I have an Asus M2N-E motherboard, AMD64 X2 4000+ processor, 1 GB of ECC RAM. All devices in the system pass the driver compat test.
I am running 0811 with no problems. If I try update-all on the 0811, or I try a live CD of 2009-06 or 1002 (have run all the way up to r126), the system only gets past loading the kernel, then it dumps and reboots. I have tried a large number of things including bootstrapping down to the minimum cards and hardware (above). I have updated and downgraded the BIOS. I have tried disabling ACPI, setting it to both 2 and 8 via GRUB on boot. The system BIOS does not allow disabling ACPI. I cannot seem to get the system to load one module at a time so I can log it out. Either I am doing this incorrectly (likely!) or it is crashing out before it even begins loading modules. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. What are the proper switches to add to the kernel$ line in GRUB that will allow me to most helpfully debug this? Is this a known issue that I am missing somewhere? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
