Why are you using a CD if you already have an installed copy? (AFAIK, there is no upgrade path via CD installer yet - it would destroy your existing install)
Try adding the dev repository and do a pkg image-update: $ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev devrepo $ pfexec pkg image-update See the details under OpenSolaris 2009.06 on http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/ As for why the panic, if it is truly snv_111 (not 111a), then you may be hitting one of these bugs: 6818652 cpu_acpi_cache_cst panics with bad _CST objects on Tecra M9, M10 and R600 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6818652 6819156 cpu_acpi_free_cstate_data can free the wrong size http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6819156 I saw these on my Toshiba Tecra M10. Both of these bugfixes were pulled into snv_111a which certainly works on my laptop now. From the grub menu, try editing the default entry and add -k to the kernel$ line. This will load kmdb, and pause with the stack trace on screen. My suggestion would be the pkg image-update method above, then if it still fails, you can use kmdb to get the stack trace.
