Hi Colin, I have a suspicion here:
Try the following steps: From grub, press "e" to edit the grub menu. Press "e" again on the first line, go all the way to the left, and add "/boot" to the front of the line (i.e., have it read: /boot/platform/i86/kernel/$ISADIR/unix). Press enter to accept the selection. Repeat the process with the next line (changing it to "/boot/platform/..."), and then hit "b" to boot. Where did you get the image from? - Keith Colin Raven wrote: > Trying to install snv_128a, this is what I get (matters not which > installation method I try): > > Power up, splash screen, drop into installer, and it instantly halts, > showing the following > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > kernel$ /platform/i86/kernal/$ISADIR/unix > loading `/platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix` ... > cpu: 'GenuineIntel' family 6 model 7 step 7 > [BIOS accepted mixed-mode target setting!] > > Error 2: Bad file or directory type > > Press any key to continue... > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Argh - what am I doing wrong, or failing to do? > > Environment: > ASUS P5Q mainboard (HCL approved) > Root drive is Intel X25M 80GB SSD > Memory: 8GB DDR2/800 (non ECC) > > ISO MD5 checks out OK > CD re-burned (thought I had a bad burn first time around) > > Ideas & suggestions most welcome. > > Regards & TIA, > -Me > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > opensolaris-discuss at opensolaris.org >
