Per subject, has abyone sucessfully used b99 with HP hardware?

I've been using opensolaris for some time on HP Blade. Installing from
os200805 back in June works fine, with the caveat that I had to manually
add cpqary3 driver (v 1.90 was available back then).

After installation, I regulary upgrade with "pkg image-update". In
general it works fine except for some warnings about cpqary3 on boot.
However,  upgrading to b99 doesn't work (it hangs on boot, perhaps
something to do with cpqary3). I was able to revert back to the previous
installation (b98).

After that, I decided to upgrade my zpool (b98 has zpool v13). Surprise,
surpise, the system now doesn't boot at all. Apparently I got hit by
this "bug" :
http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/ZFS_rpool_Upgrade_and_GRUB

The recovery procedure involve booting from CD/DVD. Thinking that
perhaps HP's update would solve cpqary3 problem, I tried adding cpqary3
v 1.91 to osol-0811-99.iso. Still didn't work. So I tried original
os200805 and b96. Doesn't work due to to zpool version (I should've seen
this one coming).

I'm trying b98 now, wish me luck :-P .

Fajar
