You might also struggle with drivers for Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth and 
USB on Alder Lake. I have a *Simply NUC Topaz 2 i7* (Core i7-1260P) with 
2 x *Intel I225-LM* Ethernet and *Intel WiFi 6 AX200*. Haven't been 
successful in installing *OmniOS,* either via USB 
 or PXE

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana for PowerPC

Also, from the other emerging-platforms.  I believe that was the

I do not believe that I ever saw any of the code or binaries for MIPS,
or the IBM mainframe stuff.

I think that the ARM stuff is still available, and is/could be very
relevant.

Another approach might be to para-virtualize the OpenIndiana kernel to run  
under the OKL4 Microvisor.  The FAQ (http://wiki.ok-labs.com/FAQ) suggests  
that Work has been done already towards supporting MIPS and PowerPC  
architecture processors.  This has been done for Linux (OK Linux).


No idea if anyone has actually tried to para-virtualize OpenIndiana for  
OKl4 or other hypervisors.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] UEFI Secure Boot?

[John Connett]

It's a few years since I used OpenSolaris and I was wondering if
anyone is working on UEFI Secure Boot for the open source Solaris-like
operating systems.

I have looked at the oi-dev-151a5; NexentaStor-Community; OmniOS and
SmartOS installation media and none of them appear to support UEFI
booting (no EFI directory).

My target system is a Supermicro X9SAE (Intel C216 chipset) with an
Intel Xeon E3-1275 v2 (Ivy Bridge) CPU.  It has AMI Aptio firmware
(EFI Specification Revision 2.3.1; Version 4.6.53).

Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation installs in UEFI Only mode as does
Fedora 17 (with some graphics problems).

I have tried installing from several of the distributions in Legacy
Only mode but none of them went far, possibly because it is rather
close to the leading edge.

  suggestions on how to investigate or fix this?
 
 I haven't attempted this in OpenIndian, but I think it should still work to
 use the -v
 Option in grub to set the boot sequence into verbose mode.
 
 see

 for a nice
 http://lserinol.blogspot.com/2009/02/booting-opensolaris-in-verbose-mode.html
 blog discussing how to set the verbose mode.

May thanks.  I appended -m verbose -v to the kernel line as suggested.
Here's the result:

[...]
