Randy,
(cc: caiman-discuss, and solaris release engineering)
I just downloaded both s11u1b4 and s11u1b7 (I assumed the LiveCD is
what you used as you mentioned installing to a laptop).
Yes, it was the live CD both times. Should I use one of the other
images for the desktop box? I am not sure what the differences are
between them; I tried live first and it worked on my laptop and I didn't
try any further.

I cross referenced 7059924 to see if the solarismisc.zlib was growing
in size:
b04:
[mox:code] > sudo mount -F hsfs sol-11-u1-04-live-x86.iso /mnt
[mox:code] > ls -lh /mnt/solarismisc.zlib
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40M 2011-11-30 19:52 /mnt/solarismisc.zlib
[mox:code] > ls -lh /mnt/solaris.zlib
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 707M 2011-11-30 19:50 /mnt/solaris.zlib
b07:
[mox:code] > sudo mount -F hsfs sol-11-u1-07-live-x86.iso /mnt
[mox:code] > ls -lh /mnt/solarismisc.zlib
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41M 2012-01-10 13:12 /mnt/solarismisc.zlib
[mox:code] > ls -lh /mnt/solaris.zlib
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 709M 2012-01-10 13:10 /mnt/solaris.zlib
The zlibs are not changing in size all that dramatically. If the boot
archive is indeed full, it's for another reason other than the
symptoms shown in 7059924.
RE: Do you happen to have the build logs available from the
distribution constructor runs which constructed the build 7 images?
Thanks!

I think you either have a regression or a close cousin
I am looking at bug 7059924. Using Solaris 11 update 1 build 7 from
nana.us.oracle.com, I am trying to load Solaris on a brand new
motherboard I just picked up. It is an 8 core AMD processor I think,
on an ASUS M5A78L with 8GB of RAM. Not "cutting edge" but pretty
darn modern.
Anyway, the trouble I am having is exactly what is described in
7059924 - I get the same logged error, and when I do a "du -kh /" I
am seeing 100% full disk with a tiny slice of free space.
I have so far tried b04 and b07 - surprisingly, installing b04 was no
problem on my Toshiba laptop, my Ultra 24, my Ultra 20, etc... same
exact plastic disk.
Is there some manual workaround for this? I could not find the
webrev for the workaround mentioned in the bug, the opensolaris.org
says "Record not found" It looks like it is SOOOOOO close to working.
When I boot I get bad sig, which is never a happy thing to see.
I am in a holding pattern until I hear back from you. LMK what I can
do, if there is something I could try/test for you, etc. I actually
used to work in the Solaris Install group back when it was at RMTC
and wrote a lot of automated tests for the eeprom/jumpstart testing.
