OpenSolaris 64-bit kernel 118 boots again

I'm happy again after trying out the OpenSolaris build 118 kernel from www.genunix.org

It now boots up successfully on my Quad-core Xeon E5410 processor. OpenSolaris 2008.05 was the last version that booted up okay, the subsequent versions would just automatically reboot just after loading the kernel. I tried different kernel debugging options but they all resulted in it just rebooting before giving any useful information.

But after grabbing "OpenSolaris preview 2010.02, based on build 118" from genunix.org, it boots successfully. So I will be very happy to use the 2010.02 release once it becomes available.
