[OmniOS-discuss] xnf panic

[Andy Fiddaman]

Al,

I've prepared a hot-fix containing this driver update if you'd like to
test. I tried to test it myself on AWS but can't provision any type of
machine from that unofficial CE r151022 AMI in London. Just snapshot the
EBS volume first in case of problems.

To install:

  pkg apply-hot-fix https://downloads.omniosce.org/pkg/r151022/7186-xnf.p5p

which will create a new boot-environment, and reboot.

Assuming it looks ok, this update will be part of next Monday's release.

Regards,

Andy
