[OmniOS-discuss] Installation Boot hangs after CPU/USB initialization - Intel Motherboard

[Svavar Örn Eysteinsson]

FreeBSD 10.2 and Solaris 11.3 boots and installs just fine.

I have read the mailing list thread below. thanks for that.

I have no floppy support on this motherboard. I have also disabled the C3 and C6 state in the BIOS.

I have also tried to boot up with :

-m verbose -v -B iommu-enable=false -B immu-enable=false -B immu-intrmap-enable=false

Also tried out -B acpi-user-options=0x2 to completly disable ACPI, and it's the same story. The kernel complains
about no ACPI but will hang just on the same spot as always.

Thank you kindly.
