Is sun4u support EOL since Chef 12.x?

11.18.0-1 worked on our sun4u hosts. The 12.3.0-1 sun4v package offered  
at [chef.io](http://chef.io) doesn’t work for us. I’m wondering if I missed a line item  
about this in the Chef 12.x release notes or should be reporting it as a  
new GH issue.

This gets further:

...

#uname -a  
SunOS 5.10 ... sun4u  
#pkginfo -l chef  
VERSION: 12.3.0-1  
#chef-client  
Starting Chef Client, version 12.3.0  
...

It is working for me. Maybe it's the result of reinstalling over an old  
package? What version of Solaris are you running?

Hi Jeff,  
we're certainly expecting sun4u to work, can you file a github issue on  
chef/chef with the full stack traces and details of the machine please?  
Thanks,
