just booted Tribblix USB for new PC. The format command says no disks found. I've installed windows (to turn off LEDs and warm boot), FreeBSD UNIX, Slackware & Devuan GNU/Linuxes, and had almost finished installing Gentoo GNU/Linux. NetBSD UNIX, Artix GNU/Linux didn't detect disks... well, their USB didn't even boot on this PC (but on a laptop) so this may not only be a Tribblix issue. Any suggestions or should I just try OmniOS CE next?

How are your disks connected?

M.2/NVMe

definitely are there and one I'm installing to is new

Did you check nvmeadm list/

i will now

Basically what I'd start with is understanding did we detect a PCIe device and/or attach a driver.

Then we can see why or why not a block device is missing.

I'm going to have to step out, but I don't know that I'd expect much difference betweeen Tribblix or OmniOS unless the install media is a dramatically different age.

i forgot to 'su - root'. OS I usually install with let you immediately login as root with no password, and I wasn't used to this

i already made Solaris partitions (also for OmniOS CE) using aforementioned. The device names look very much longer than in the instructions

this was yesterday? and this is coming from linux' qemu so not sure if it trasnlates but one CAN also just boot in the terminal , using serial tty and as such making it like a chroot (but more constrained).

rmustacc: sorry I disappeared for a bit there. I've just rebased change 4351, but don't know how to proceed for integration.

spicywolf: Nothing to apologize for. The final bit is written up at illumos.org/docs/contributing/#submitting-a-patch.

Feel free to reach out if you have any issues.

rmustacc: roger that. In order to edit the issue, my user (karaiwulf) will need to be assigned to it. The issue number is 17516.

If you refresh the page that should be taken care of now. I assigned you, but you should be able to do it yourself in the future now.

Awesome. Thank you very much!

Actually, do you have any advice for testing the hermon_fm.c changes?

spicywolf: there's not really a good way to test it given even just the paths that are in there, especially as most folks don't have hardware. I think given the nature of the change it'll be okay if you can't test hermon, just mention that in the testing notes.

rmustacc thank you.

i got both Tribblix and OmniOS CE working... but to boot the other, I have to either do a command in one or with zpool anywhere or just put them on separate drives?

Does anyone have any ideas on how I'd produce some specific scsi errors?

Well, I am using a VM, I suppose I could just destroy the underlying file while its trying to access it.
