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

Fri Apr 1 10:18:41 UTC 2016

I installed OmniOS on another machine, with Intel cpu and SATA controllers in ACHI mode
from a USB Key. 100% success.

Moved the hard drive to the problematic machine and the same story continues.
It will boot up, but soon as the CPU initializing is done and USB controller is probed it will freeze and hang.

As the screenshot shows.

Pretty much the same if I boot the installation from USB/SATA CDROM...

So it seems that I'm stuck with running Solaris 11.3...
