What type of keyboard are you using? I’ve had problems with a USB 2.0 keyboard (newer, slim Apple keyboard), but USB 1.1 keyboards work (old, thick plastic Apple keyboard). John On Jan 13, 2015, at 2:24 AM, Lukas Kaltenbach via smartos-discuss smartos-discuss@lists.smartos.org wrote: Hi

I generally use raw over qcow because it's faster and easier to use with system tools - kpartx, etc. The new qcow2 versions are better, but I still prefer raw. Nicholas On 14 January 2015 at 03:38, Nahum Shalman via smartos-discuss smartos-discuss@lists.smartos.org wrote: On 01/12/2015

I remember encountering this on a home test PC and it turned out to be the on-board graphics card of the motherboard. This particular board only was a little old (no KVM support) and only had DVI on it. Booting under serial did work though (via the serial jumpers on the board) and I

Nahum, I wonder if it would be possible, after detaching SSD from the mirror in your step #2, to pass the device over to Linux running locally in KVM and 'secure erase' it from KVM other than physically disconnecting it from the smartos machine? Which Intel SSD are you using that you haven't had
