I have nv-63 installed on a Dell Precision 670 (dual Intel p4s) using zfs with no problems when I attempt to start to install nv-69 from CD #1, just after the Copyright notice and "Use is subject to license terms" prints to the screen (when device discovery usually begins), my system panics and begins to reboot the solaris panic message splashes across the screen too fast to read before immediately resetting and rebooting the machine I''ve been able to install nv-69 successfully on other Intel (server) platforms any ideas or suggestions or help would be appreciated This message posted from opensolaris.org
using hyperterm, I captured the panic message as: SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_69 32-bit Copyright 1983-2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. panic[cpu0]/thread=fec1ede0: Can''t handle mwait size 0 fec37e70 unix:mach_alloc_mwait+72 (fec2006c) fec37e8c unix:mach_init+b0 (c0ce80, fe800010, f) fec37eb8 unix:psm_install+95 (fe84166e, 3, fec37e) fec37ec8 unix:startup_end+93 (fec37ee4, fe91731e,) fec37ed0 unix:startup+3a (fe800010, fec33c98,) fec37ee4 genunix:main+1e () skipping system dump - no dump device configured rebooting... this behavior loops endlessly This message posted from opensolaris.org
Apparently known bug, fixed in snv_70. http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6577473 On Aug 14, 2007, at 8:28 AM, Bill Moloney wrote:> using hyperterm, I captured the panic message as: > > SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_69 32-bit > Copyright 1983-2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Thanks all for the details on this bug, looks like nv-70 should work for me when the drop is available I''ve been using an older P3 based server to test the new separate ZIL device feature that became available in nv-68, using a FC flash drive as a log device outside the zpool itself I wanted to do some additional testing using the faster Dell 670 system but could not get nv-68 or 69 to install ... now I know why ...
