Ok, seems there are two separate problems on this laptop. One in the intel iommu driver. And another problem somewhere in the ps/2 i8042 keyboard and/or mouse driver; or maybe a bios system management mode issue with usb legacy device emulation. How was the usb flash boot device installed? Using the LiveCD, on that Acer AS3810T laptop? That is, the LiveCD does boot OK on the Acer? Does the LiveCD need the -B intel-iommu=no workaround? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
