Hi, The system is a 64 bit system and it's trying to boot in 64 bits mode.
I can boot easily in failsafe mode. I didn't install any add-ons or third party drivers... I just did a simple Solaris install from the DVD and on the first reboot, the system simply reset itself again and again and again... I can see some output, but it passed so fast on the screen, I can't tell what it is... Dave Miner told me to boot using the -k option to get into kmdb and use the ::stack to see where the panic is occuring. I did and I get two pages of stuff into kmdb. >From the top, I get: kaif_enter+8() kdi_dvec_enter+0xd() debug_enter+0x66() pan icsys+0x3ac() vpanic+0x187() 0xfffffffffb8456d2() vmem_hash_delete+0x70 () vmem_xfree+0x3f() vmem_free+0x28() kmem_free+0xe4() acpica`AcpiOs Free+0x14() acpica`AcpiUtFreeAndTrack+0x8c() acpica`AcpiPurgeCachedObjects +0x41() acpica`AcpiInitializeObjects+0x47() acpica`acpica_init0xaa() ac pica`acpica_isa_device_enum+0x4a() etc... So this seems like Acpi problems...Ok. I just tried again with adding -B acpi-user-options=2 -kv, the system basically hangs ! The last couple of lines are : root nexus = i86pc pseudo0 at root pseudo0 is /pseudo scsi_vhci0 at root scsi_vhci0 is /scsi_vhci isa0 at root npe0 at root: space 0 offset 0 npe0 is /pci at 0,0 Then, the cursor and the system is hanged! I must reset. I tried again with -B acpi-user-options and this time, the system panics and in kmdb ::stack, I get the same result as the first test (no -B stuff). It's a panic, not a hang. Last test, with -B acpi-user-options=8 -kv, I get the same result. What next ? Simon. This message posted from opensolaris.org
