Hi Antonio,

in order to find out  why installer failed to mark your Solaris partition
active, could you please attach /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log file ?

Also, how your partition configuration looks like ?
Could you please attach output of Linux as well as Solaris fdisk commands ?

Linux:
# fdisk -l <disk>

Solaris:
In order to find out name of the disk, use format(1M) or iostat(1M):
# iostat -En
# fdisk -W - <disk_name>p0

Thank you,
Jan
