Hi Ron,

I have just installed nv47 on a new Asus P5WD2-E M/B with Pentium D Dual Core cpu and 975x chipset. The machine boots a 64 bit kernel, which is not as stable as the same OS version on a Intel 32-bit single core machine.
Is there a way to 1) force the installation of the 32-bit OS or 2) force the
machine to boot the 32-bit kernel? Apparently, the CPU has EM64T support and
Solaris sees a 64-bit cpu.
I've tried Solaris 10 u2 and Solris 10 9/06 on the new machine with the same,
unstable, 64-bit results.
Any help is appreciated. At this rate, my older machine is better than the new
one.
You can pass "kernel/unix" as an argument to multiboot in grub, which
will cause the 32-bit kernel to boot.
It would also be good to know why the 64-bit kernel doesn't seem as
stable, as that's something that should
be fixed. :) Any information you can provide in a bug report filed at
bugs.opensolaris.org would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Eric
