I thought I would give Solaris 11 Express a go on some new desktops we
have and it failed to boot the live CD, since it freezes at:
PCI Express-device: pci8086,3...@1a,7, ehci0
ehci0 is /p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@1a,7
PCI Express-device: pci8086,3...@1d,7, ehci1
ehci1 is /p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@1d,7
I found this bug
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=15976 which it talks
about which problem, which was never solved.
I guess this type of error requires new intel drives which means that it
will never be fixed, since Oracle will not ship Core i3/5 systems and so
will not bother working on it.
Also, I guess since it requires Intel help then the OpenSolaris versions
of Solaris will not get any fixes either. So, the question "Solaris 11
is dead on desktops" is becoming true????
Cheers,
Andrew
