Sorry for the small mistake:
when I wrote that the boot stops "exactly after the following messages",
I meant the "equivalent" of those messages, since the text pasted was
taken from the previous successful boot.
Here a screenshot of the actual place where the boot stops:

Hello everyone,
for future reference: I disabled the EMS console and the virtual serial
port in the BIOS, and the "REPEATED LOGIN FAILURES ON /dev/term/a"
disappeared completely.
That issue is solved.
Since everything was working, I then reconnected all the 6 data drives
to the built-in HP B110i AHCI controller and I booted again.
Now the boot process stops after the identification of the drives sd7
and sd8 connected to the Sil3124 SATA add-on card, while the drives on
the B110i built-in card are sd1-sd6.
It stops exactly after the following messages:
scsi: [ID 583861 kern.info] sd2 at si31240: target 1 lun 0
genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] sd2 is

/pci@0,0/pci8086,1c1c@1c,6/pci12d8,e111@0/pci1095,7124@0/disk@1,0 (sd2)
online
Before I reconnected the drives, at that point the boot was proceeding
further with the following lines (see https://pastebin.com/M8hvzV5u ):
genunix: [ID 454863 kern.info] dump on /dev/zvol/dsk/zones/dump size
1420 MB
genunix: [ID 127566 kern.info] device pciclass,030000@0,1(display#0)

mac: [ID 435574 kern.info] NOTICE: e1000g0 link up, 1000 Mbps, full duplex
unix: [ID 504448 kern.info] NOTICE: Fastboot: Couldn't open
/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive
The "recovery" option in GRUB can still bring me to the login prompt,
but I'm not sure where to look for the cause of the issue.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance.

Dear all,
I'm evaluating SmartOS, after some years of OmniOS.
I have a HP ML110 G7 (single E3-1220 v2, 32 GB ECC) with a Sil3124
add-on card with 2 SSDs connected to it, no other disks in the HP B110i
built-in controller.
I flashed a USB key with SmartOS, I plugged it in the internal USB port,
and I created the zones pool in the mirrored SSDs.
At boot I always get the following message:
---
WARNING: Couldn't read ACPI SRAT table from BIOS. lgrp support will be
limited to one group.
SunOS [...]
WARNING: KCS error: ff
---
then the login prompt.
If I login via SSH and I check the logs, I see
messages: https://pastebin.com/M8hvzV5u
auth.log: https://pastebin.com/zLQnEn8f
syslog: https://pastebin.com/NMzmzzuk
From time to time, after completing the boot, I hear a beep coming from
the server, once it even rebooted by itself. The beep comes at the same
time of the "REPEATED LOGIN FAILURES ON /dev/term/a" error.
I paste some parts that could be interesting:
/log/messages:

It is maybe worth mentioning that before this install from a USB flash
drive in the internal port, I used a SD card on the internal SD slot,
while keeping all the 8 disks connected (2 SSD, 4 HDD in the B110i
controller, 2 HDD on the ports meant for optical media) and I got this
kernel panic:
https://postimg.org/image/azk1nzbpv/
I checked the memory with memtest86 and it passes all the tests. The
computer never had any hardware issues, at least until few days ago when
I deleted my very old OmniOS install.
Moreover, after these issues with SmartOS, I tried the latest OmniOS and
it works fine (maybe important: it boots directly from the SSDs).
There must be something in my SmartOS install, that however is
completely clean.
Could you please help me solving these issues?
Thanks
Olaf
