08:26:50 <stefanobsdcafe> Hello everyone! I'm currently configuring some OmniOS servers (bare metal and VPS) to increase my knowledge and application of the OS.
08:26:52 <stefanobsdcafe>  NetCUP and Contabo VPSes are fine, but it seems there's a problem with Hetzner: it seems that OmniOS is unable to detect the virtual disk, so it's both unable to install and, if installed via qemu, it will start a boot loop as the kernel is unable to mount the pool. Is there any workaround or anything I could do to help you to debug this?
08:26:56 <stefanobsdcafe>  FreeBSD and OpenBSD have no problems while NetBSD (that I tried some months ago)seemed to have the same behaviour
10:42:37 <l33t-> hi all
10:42:40 <l33t-> :)
10:43:12 <l33t-> you enjoy it kid ?
11:10:26 <warden> stefanobsdcafe: maybe the emulated storage controller is not supported by illumos? I think it's pretty unusual, but look at this list: https://illumos.org/hcl/
11:15:57 <stefanobsdcafe> warden: I'll try to identify the emulated storage controller. The disk driver is virtio.
13:51:13 <stefanobsdcafe> Ok, maybe I found the problem: The Virtio-SCSI supported by Illumos is 1af4:1004 while the Virtio SCSI controller at Hetzner is (from Linux): root@rescue ~ # lspci -nn | grep SCSI
13:51:15 <stefanobsdcafe> 06:00.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Red Hat, Inc. Virtio 1.0 SCSI [1af4:1048] (rev 01)
13:51:15 <stefanobsdcafe> As I can't change it from Hetzner, it would be great, as a test test, to change/add it into the OmniOS source - I could also recompile it and generate the ISO as I'm currently running OmniOS on a quite powerful bare metal server (128 GB Ram, etc). I can try, but I've never recompiled OmniOS so this will be a good way to learn something new about it.
14:03:21 <stefanobsdcafe> Now the question is: which file should I modify? I've tried to search for 1af4 but I can't find it inside the sources, but I've never modified any Illumos/OmniOS code
14:07:57 <stefanobsdcafe> I've found a reference on /etc/driver_aliases - I'll try to install via qemu and add there. 
14:43:58 <stefanobsdcafe> I've tried to add that to /etc/driver_aliases but, at reboot, it didn't work:
14:43:58 <stefanobsdcafe> - WARNING: vioscsid: PCI Revision 1 incorrect for legacy virtio device
19:43:35 <jclulow> I'm not sure that our virtio driver framework currently supports post-1.0 devices
19:43:54 <jclulow> (without the legacy/transitional fallback mode)
19:45:23 <jclulow> On the plus side, I think it should be possible to add that support with minimal changes to the actual specific drivers (e.g., viofi, vioblk, vioscsi, etc)
19:45:26 <jclulow> *vioif
19:59:45 <stefanobsdcafe> jclulow: I think that would be great. At least in Europe, Hetzner VPS servers are cheap and reliable - they'd be a great hosting solution for OmniOS. Unfortunately, they don't allow any configuration. NetCup works perfectly.
