There is already support for AVX in the kernel, but the Sun Studio/gcc <br>
that compilers that come with the system don't support it. libc/libm <br>
also don't have optimized versions, but this is rectifiable. (Our <br>
compilers/gcc should support it, but I've not tested on real hw + OI)</div></div></div></div></blockquote>Okay. This moment is clear for me now.

I'm unclear what's under the hood for Optimus support, but I suspect <br>
it's possibly a combination of Intel/NVIDIA driver support and enabling <br>
it in the bios.<br><br>
Intel used to provide really good support on Solaris, but I'm not sure <br>
if that's still the case? If it wholly depends on the NVIDIA drivers I <br>
suspect it'll just work as it would on linux.<br></div></div></div></div></blockquote>Absolutely true.

When you say it didn't start what *exactly* do you mean? Try flipping <br>
the ata/achi setting in the bios and seeing if that lets the live cd <br>
work. Also please try an older opensolaris to see if that works and <br>
report back.</div></div></div></div></blockquote>Switching SATA to IDE mode solved 151 starting problem.<br>Then I switched it back to AHCI, tried to boot OpenSolaris 133 - it booted correctly.<br>But now OI 151 boots good in AHCI mode, so I can't reproduce the bug.
