[OmniOS-discuss] xnf panic

[Al Slater]

Hi Andy,

OK, I booted a t2.micro instance from my AMI (Original OmniOS CE r151022
HVM).  Updated pkg and then updated to r151022as.

Then shut the instance down, changed the type to m4.large, then started
the instance.  A panic/reboot loop ensued.  Stopped the instance.

Changed the instance back to t2.micro and booted.  Applied the hotfix
and rebooted.  Rebooted fine.

Stopped the instance, changed instance type to m4.large, and started the
instance.  The instance started and I could log in just fine.

To be sure, I stopped and restarted the instance a few times. It always
came back up ok.

So, the patch looks good to me.  If you can think of any more tests you
would like me to run, I'll give them a go for you.

Thank you for the speedy fix.

regards

Al
