I do see some options for managing C states. I’d need to confirm when I’m back at work (unfortunately I’m out for the week) for specifics, but ISTR some issues involving them. > On Jul 22, 2018, at 9:23 AM, Robert Fisher wrote: > > ​> Are there any power management options in the bios? > >

​> Are there any power management options in the bios? Very few. "ErP Ready" lets you set a sleep state (S4 or S5), and you can enable or disable power on by PCI-E, Ring or on a timed schedule. I've tried them all in all possible states but, as you can imagine, none of them had any effect.

Thanks for the advice everyone, but nothing is helping. Using `use_mp/W 0` makes no difference. It hangs at exactly the same place. (However, doing this on Solaris 11 allows it to boot. This is the same as disabling the cores in the BIOS.) Booting with `-B disable-xhci=true` also changes

That Solaris works w/ a single CPU makes me wonder if it might be OS-7079 (still under review/testing so the fix hasn’t been integrated yet). The bug was introduced in 2009 (so it’s very possible Solaris still has this bug), but seems to have been hard enough to hit that it hasn’t been
