How were you disabling the other cores? If not doing so from the BIOS, probably the easiest way on SmartOS to do it is to boot w/ kmdb (-kd in the boot args) and when KMDB loads, type ‘use_mp/W 0’ then ‘:c’ to continue. If might also be useful to include the -v flag as well to see how far it’s getting in the boot process.

I've given up on the idea of any Illumos flavour ever running on my little home server, so I'm planning to swap out the main board. The backstory of this is that I successfully ran Solaris 11 on it (encrypted ZFS -- I'm paranoid) and when I upgraded the BIOS (I know, never upgrade the BIOS, but I was hoping to fix a NIC oddity) it no longer booted. I found if I disabled all but one core, Solaris would still boot, and I still run it that way, which is pretty unsatisfactory. SmartOS will not boot whatever I do. All other unix-like OSes run fine across all cores. I have posted about this on the list before, but to no avail. I don't want to buy a whole new machine, so I need a Mini ITX motherboard that'll take an i5 6400 (so 6th gen) CPU. Anyone got anything that's known to work? The one that doesn't is an ASUS H110I-Plus. thanks in advance Rob smartos-discuss | Archives | Modify Your Subscription
