[smartos-discuss] Please test ACPI update

Hi All, I'm working on updating ACPI CA (acpica) to include iasl (ASL compiler and AML disassembler). At the same time, I'm moving forward to the current version. Before I push it into SmartOS and eventually illumos, I would like to have it tested on a wide variety of hardware. Since you probab

[smartos-discuss] RFD 121 bhyve brand

Hi all, As I'm sure many have heard, we are working on bringing bhyve to SmartOS. As part of that, I'm currently working on a bhyve zone brand. The intent is to have a brand that works well for all illumos distros and is easily wrapped with vmadm so it works well with Triton. https://github.com/

[smartos-discuss] new (old) acpi build for testing

Hi all, I've done a bit of surgery on the way that we build acpica in SmartOS and would appreciate it if people can give this a quick spin on a variety of hardware. Unlike my previous attempt, the version of upstream code is not changing. This time around, I've just brought in iasl. In the proc

If you don't build SmartOS platform images, you can skip this message. The fix for: OS-6465 add iasl requires a couple of new variable definitions in illumos.sh. The corresponding change in smartos-live sets these when projects/illumos/illumos.sh
