In regard to: [OpenIndiana-discuss] 20190511 gui/text boot fails on Dell...:
I tried to boot OI-hipster-{gui/text}-20190511.iso on a Dell R710 II
server and was surprised to see it fail.
The ISOs are mounted through the virtual device manager of the iDRAC.
All the firmware is recent and maybe even current. Storage controller is
LSI 9211-8i with IT firmware.
The same ISOs do boot fine in VirtualBox.
OI-hipster-minimal-20190511.iso WILL boot on this hardware.
Is there something I’m missing or is this a bug?
Probably a bug, but I'm not certain where. I don't have an R710 with
full iDRAC that I could test with, but I will say that I've had boot
issues with some non-OI ISOs when going through the iDRAC virtual media
interface.
Is it possible for you to try the same ISO on physical media, and can
you verify the checksum on the ISO matches the published checksum? I'm
obviously just trying to rule out any possible download corruption that
might be triggered on physical hardware.
Since the minimal image works, it would be possible to use that and
then use 'pkg install' to install additional packages, if we can't figure
out why the other ISOs aren't working.
