Hi! After playing with OS 200805 on the Fusion Virtual Machine I have installed the OS on the Lenovo X61s Thinkpad. Most important works, but there are some problems:
1) HD performs emergency head parking on shutdown. Probably the same bug occurs in Linux two years ago ( http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7674#c7 ). It does not happen on restart, that is why possible reboot into Linux or Windows and shut down properly. 2) HD makes click sound several times per minute. Details are described in the thread http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=234097. It seems to me, workaround exits: I boot the laptop in Linux, execute hdparm -B 254 , then reboot into OpenSolaris. Something weird, but looks like BIOS does not reset advanced power management settings on reboot. 3) OSS sound driver ( I use customized version from http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=60143&tstart=0 ) sometime eats 15-20% cpu. Luckily, solution is simple - http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=60497&tstart=0 4) I have enabled cpu power management in /etc/power.conf and set 10s threshold. But I did notice that when power cable is plugged on, my settings in the power.conf are replaced by another one. Simple dtrace script shows that 'hald' overwrites the 'power.conf' file. #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s syscall::open:entry / strstr(copyinstr(arg0), "power.conf") != NULL/ { printf("File: %s\n", copyinstr(arg0)); printf("Process: %s\n", curpsinfo->pr_psargs); } 0 72093 open:entry File: /etc/power.conf Process: /usr/sbin/pmconfig -f /tmp/power.conf.y0aiRa 1 72093 open:entry File: /tmp/power.conf.y0aiRa Process: /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-cpufreq Is there a config file to override cpu thresholds which 'hald' uses? BTW: I have installed Gnome Power Manager. As a result the display brightness Fn_home/Fn_end buttons work fine with snv91 5)Compiz 'works' 5 seconds, after that the system hangs. The same effect with some 3D screensavers. 6)Suspend does not work: Jun 24 15:41:37 vitaly-laptop genunix: [ID 535284 kern.notice] System is being suspended Jun 24 15:41:39 vitaly-laptop genunix: [ID 122848 kern.warning] WARNING: Unable to suspend device pci17aa,20b3 at 0. Jun 24 15:41:39 vitaly-laptop genunix: [ID 537702 kern.warning] WARNING: Device is busy or does not support suspend/resume. 7) nwam does something wrong with my WEP-128 encrypted network (Mac Mini with shared internet connection is used as an access point) I use the script below instead: pfexec svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam pfexec svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default pfexec ifconfig iwk0 unplumb pfexec ifconfig iwk0 plumb pfexec dladm connect-wifi -e x-code -k x-code -s wep -a shared iwk0 pfexec ifconfig iwk0 dhcp start In other respects the system works great. Thanks. This message posted from opensolaris.org
