[illumos-gate] 16397 Re-enable VERW-using x86_md_clear() function on RFDS-afflicted Intel CPUs -- Dan McDonald <danmcd⊙mi>

Nice, thanks danmcd

andyf: do you by any chance have an ena hotfix for 151048m ?

Not handy, I can build one.

Probably really quickly

it keeps hanging trying to install illumos-tools

Try hf.omnios.org/r48/ena.p5p

i'm trying to test out the CRB interface for the tpm driver

our internal server running win2019 for hyper-v testing doesn't have one, and hyper-v so helpfully still lets you add one to a VM, but then it doesn't actually work at all (tried freebsd as well, it won't attach despite it being present)

YW andyf (sorry, was at the Subaru dealer... literally pushed it from a punchin session to home).

andyf: definitely did the trick..

23 years later and punchin is still being used!

ouch.

jbk great - I'm going to RTI that tomorrow. It's holding up well for us too.

awesome

i've building illumos right now on this instance so I can (hopefully) do some quick iteration on the CRB support as needed to get that working

Nice :)

Working with nitro instances almost feels easy these days, with ssh to the serial console etc.

yeah, azure hopefully won't be too bad either (i mean, slow as molasses to provision or do anything else, but)

i've got to look at tsoome's recent commit and see if that works around azure's broken firmware well enough

um, I was trying to dig trough azure, but haven't got too far yet...

through*

i mean, unless you want to :)

the one branch doesn't give any output, but it also doesn't reset the VM

so it was at least good enough to get the OS loaded and make sure there wasn't anything else that was needed

you mean the headers update? I do not think it would help with that issue

i thought i saw some eficonsole changes as well

only small bits to use/set up guid variables etc

but I'm working towards the real fix...

just need to get some test base:D

if you're using omnios, all my hyper-v work's been upstreamed there

I have both oi and omnios:)

i don't know if oi's grabbed any of it or not

so I was looking how to set up custom os image in azure etc:)

andyf: does the omni tool allow you to build an VM image?

we convert the raw image to a vhd and then upload that as a blob to azure

then you can create an image from that blob

and then create a vm from that image

yep. I figured out that much. ofc my first issue was that at the time of working with image, I was behind crappy wifi and image upload was very slow and insterrupted:D

interrupted even:)

kayak does - and we have cloud images in .raw, .vmdk, .vhd, .qcow2

With omni, it's `omni build_media` but there might be some setup required, I don't remember offhand.

ou, so I can build vhd directly with kayak? neat.
