AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition (Agena), Socket AM2+, Family F, Model 2, Stepping 3, Revision DR-B3.
Is that exact enough? :P

AMD ZM-82 and ZM-86 Ultra X2 or "Puma" CPUs

Problem still exists for 2.2.4. All new AMD ZM "Puma" CPUs will not boot Solaris / OpenSolaris with AMD-V enabled. Well, I need to re-state that.... All (2 different) machines I have tested with the new Puma CPUs, do not work. 2.1.4 does, but then you miss out on all the new toys. It's kind of like watching all the new motorbikes passing you on the street while you are still on your mothers bicycle. Sure, the bell is kind of cool, but.... :?

Found and fixed the problem. A fix will be included in 3.0.4.

Sorry by Amiga was not a GAME CONSOLE. It was "also" a game console or in fact a set-top box (CDTV/CD32). Basically it was the best computer ever.

Sorry to wake this thread up just for a side note. :)
