Cheers to everone, but unfortunately, I can't boot from aether GUI nor text USB image, on ACPI v1 PC (Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L v1) and other fine 64-bit machines are probably affected. (https://www.illumos.org/issues/8119 , https://www.illumos.org/issues/8169) So, if you are keen to fresh install Openindiana/illumos distribution installation, and you can't boot from ISO/usb, you can check if it is maybe an ACPi v1 system. (already fixed in illumos btw.) Possible workarounds: - Copy working /boot/zfsloader from a working system into your ISO/USB image (easier to do with mounted USB) before installing. (For mine zfsloader , on currently installed osnet-incorporation@0.5.11-2017.0.0.16383 , I get for 'sha256sum /boot/zfsloader': 83ab6f84d64c21a22e706f290b0384a66910d2ba185ff790f176cc919248965a , shared on: https://mega.nz/#!2NBhyYwJ!E_2YeZQetwE6_247T6_K3DIhVXmFjJvEOnp8MS6WDYc ) - Use previous OI 201610 GUI snapshot images (I couldn't install from 201610 text USB image, because it can't deselect other disk when trying to install on multiple disk machine) , but also check: https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/MBR+reinstall+after+illumos+loader+update , after updating and before rebooting if you are using MBR partitioned disk(s). You are good using older install image if GUI and full-disk install using GPT On the positive side/Not affected: If you are on /hipster repository for some time and you do an update now, you will get bootable and working system, of you use GPT disks. (If you are on MBR partitioned disks, have to do an illumos loader update before rebooting : https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/MBR+reinstall+after+illumos+loader+update) IPS pkg(5) commands are much faster and use less RAM when repository doesn't have many changes in it, after the snapshot. --- One look over the shoulder on bug reporting and Oi snapshots: Problem with unbootable systems after regular update was reported on OI IRC at least 3(4) weeks before the end of April. (was using zfs freeze'd osnet-incorporation for a few weeks) Illumos fix landed before Openindiana snapshot ISO/images were made available. Testing of OI snapshot prior to landing was not public. Could not get usb/ISO to test it before snapshot landed. ISO/USB images were not recompiled and remade to include fixed illumos for ACPI v1 systems. If there is some universal wisdom to be taken out of it for everyone, maybe it could be: - Report all bugs to https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana/issues or https://www.illumos.org/issues/ as soon as you see it. - Don't count on IRC/mailing list reporting will do any good. - Don't count on bug will fix itself, if you yourself is not working on fixing it. - Testing on VM can't supplement testing on real hardware. - Doing OI snapshots coul be done with public testing, before OI snapshot. Possible workarounds: - OI image snapshot may be more frequent? (And tasked to be tried out if real goal could be supportable OI release in the future) Research proposal: - Knowing how to make bootable ISO/usb images, possible task of describing now to make one. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
