If you made the CD yourself, it's possible you had an incomplete download or a bad burn. (The latter is still possible with a CD received through the mail.) It is probably worth trying to boot in text mode, which is the next option on the GRUB menu, to see if the problem is related to the graphics subsystem. At some point, you may have to describe what hardware components are in your system; it is possible that OpenSolaris 2008.05 doesn't support all of them. - Stephen -- sch at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
