Hi Damian, it seems you might be hitting some of the following issues:
[1] 6690194 fdisk(1M) doesn't clear VTOC when partition starts after or exceeds 4GB limit http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/#6690194 [2] 3397 Installation of OpenSolaris 2008. 11 development version based on SNV 96, 97 fails because of not finding a file http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3397 In order to help you to proceed with the installation and track down the issue you are encountering, could you please attach /tmp/install_log after running the installer from terminal window with debug mode enabled ? $ export LS_DBG_LVL=4 $ pfexec /usr/bin/gui-install Also, after installation fails, could you please attach output of following commands ? # df -h # zpool list # zpool status # zfs list # zfs mount # iostat -En # fdisk -W - c3d0p0 # prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c3d0s2 Thank you, Jan Damian Wojs?aw wrote: > I have tried to install os2008.05 (snv_86) and later (snvs: 96,97,98) with > global and regular ISOs.
