Sadly not. I've had to do everything so far with a screen and a USB
keyboard.

I am, of course, happy to do anything that might help fix this issue for
everyone. If there's kmdb digging, test builds to try, or anything else,
I'm keen to help out and maybe learn a thing or two. Can do this out of
band, email, IRC, github ticket, whatever's best.

Re: [smartos-discuss] hanging boot on ASUS box

[Robert Fisher]

No joy with anything ACPI, XHCI or legacy boot. I've tried absolutely
everything in the BIOS, and I can't even make it fail in a different way.
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Ubuntu, all work great. SmartOS, OmniOS, Solaris, all
lock at the same point.

Anyone got any more ideas?

I suggest you to disable ACPI and/or XHCI (-B disable-xhci=true) either in BIOS 
or in bootloader. Those two sub-systems I have most problems with on newer 
Intel systems.

Legacy boot?
