Hi all,

I'm new to OpenIndiana, and am hitting a problem that doesn't seem to be on Google anywhere:

I downloaded the latest oi151a release ISO today and installed it on an Intel x86_64 machine under VMWare. The install worked fine, but as soon as I tried to install any package, it pulled in an upgrade to 151a3 that includes a new boot environment. Unfortunately, the new environment can't boot, and loops endlessly between the grub menu and crashing.

The error is "Cannot _init zfs module", after complaints that /kernel/fs/amd64/zfs has the following undefined symbols: fnvlist_alloc, fnvlist_add_nvlist, fnvlist_free, fnvlist_add_boolean, and vmem_qcache_reap.

The offending command was:
ryan@dtrace:~$ which hg
which: no hg in (/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin)
ryan@dtrace:~$ sudo pkg install mercurial

A clone of openindiana exists and has been updated and activated.
On the next boot the Boot Environment openindiana-2 will be mounted on '/'.
Reboot when ready to switch to this updated BE.
(the openindiana-2 BE is the second failed attempt)

Any ideas? If I didn't know better I'd say this was a packaging error, but I really have no clue what the problem might be...

Thanks,
Ryan
