I have what appears to be roughly the same situation as described by Robert
Fisher (ASUS H110 board and a 6th gen i5). Booting with -v i end up with:
root on /ramdisk:a fstype ufs
Neither F1+A nor Shift+Pause breaks out of this. Following suggestions from
Robert's thread, I've attempted "-B disable-xhci=true" and "-B
disable-acpi=true" but saw no difference. I have also disabled all C-states,
power management, UEFI, power management and speedstep-type of things I could
find but saw no difference.
rmustacc said he hadn't seen reports of coffee lake at all, working or not.
ricco386 suggested looking through this seemingly related issue:
https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/issues/727
Though I didn't understand everything going on in that thread, and knowing that
I am likely running a different version than what is depicted there, I did
follow steps from this point:

Here is what I saw at the point of the hang, which definitely differs from what
was shown in that thread:

So ...
I've been running SmartOS on Supermicro hardware for several years at small
customer sites, using a mix of native zones and KVM to achieve a more-or-less
all-in-one server solution. I set them up and automate what management I can,
and don't revisit until/unless there are problems. It basically just works - so
I never end up getting very deep into troubleshooting. Because of this, I'm
unfamiliar with kernel debugging and all that - so I don't have much to share
relating to my problem other than what is listed above.
BUT the Gigabyte/i7 box is one I just built in hopes of playing around - so
it's currently available to bang on in case someone cares to hold my hand
through doing so. Perhaps this can be used to find/circumvent issues related to
coffee lake. Any help would be appreciated.
