I was a very satisfied OpenSolaris/ZFS padawan until the Shadows of the Dark
Empire covered our Sun in march.
During these dark times the continuous disturbances in the Source without doubt
caused my very Source-sensitive motherboard to completely give up its hope and
spirit.
To support the struggle against expanding Source imperialism I first and
foremost have to get back hold of my ZFS data which are tied to the latest
zpool and zfs version supported in the final development release 134 (i.e.
zpool version 22 and zfs version 4).
I would like to employ the newest AMD chipset and CPU, i.e.:
Phenom II X6 1090T
AMD 890FX / SB850
on the currently only board I know of with ECC memory support
Asus Crosshair IV Formula
At the end of april, Joe Kotran already queried these forums about OpenSolaris
compatibility but no answer has been given yet and neither the HCL provides any
usable information:
https://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=477897
I strongly believe the first symptom of OS death is lacking support for even
essential new hardware like CPU/chipsets from the main vendors.
And although I really fell in love with Solaris and would prefer it anytime
over Linux or any other Operating System I can not afford being forced into
running on old hardware due to lack of any information whether compatibility
with recent hardware exists or is at least being worked on.
Can therefore someone please enlighten me whether the aforementioned CPU,
chipset and other mobo hardware are supported by 134 or any available version
of OpenSolaris or OpenSolaris based distribution and whether any other
distribution than OpenSolaris itself provides support for zpool version 22 and
zfs version 4 and a migration path from OpenSolaris?
It's pretty hard to believe that nobody in the last 4 months since their launch
was able to at least try to boot 134 or some newer builds on AMDs newest CPU
and chipset to see whether there are some issues or total lack of compatibility.
If compatibility is still missing, is anyone at all working on adding it and
can they provide some ETA?
Are any Illumos, Nexenta, Shillix or Belenix project participants involved in
developing hardware support, serious testing and updating of the HCL for common
hardware at least or are we all still dependent on the whims of Oracle?

Dusan,
I have similar one - Phenom 2x6 1055T + 890GX chipset.(MSI 890GXM-G65)
And I have tried OSOL 134 running on VMware ESXi 4.1 on 1055T + 880G
chipset(GIGABYTE GA-880GM-USB3) ,It doesn't work,LiveCD stops while
booting (workaround is decreasing vCPU core (6→2) editting VM
settings,and after installing,re-increasing vCPU core (2→6).
Anyway let me check this weekend.(perhaps I will try 1055T+880G)
Thanks,
