A year and a half since I've had my Toshiba Satellite 305D .. and STILL
no support for Solaris 10 .. just sad.
If anyone has any idea when this will work, please let me know if it's
on the radar.. or whom I cann contact on the cert team to get some
insight (or work-around drivers..??).
Thanks,
Todd Jobson

You laptop should soon certified, as are the following TECRA Satellite:

P105

If you still experience problems, please be patient and wait the next
OpenSolaris 2008.11 which should include new and more recent drivers

Karim,
I have gone through MANY gyrations of OpenSolaris boot device
exclusions, etc.. to no avail..
I saw a post somewhere on google that OpenSolaris doesn't support
S-ATA DVD drives for
installation.
It starts to load.. gets past "Done mounting Live Image" .. and then
"USB Keyboard" .. right after
locale listings.. it immediately goes to a blank screen and just
HANGS ! :-(
I've done the dual boot install on other Toshiba's.. and assumed this
would be fine.. ran the
HW compatibility utility and it only showed some firewire driver
issue.. but I booted and
disabled that+... (-B disable-hci1394=true,disable-ehci=true) but
still have this issue.
Please help as I am frustrated.. and get NO error message.. (trying
to boot into text console doesn't work either).
Loading OpenSolaris on my new desktop also fails (though that's
different.. and I'll get to that when I
load my laptop.. which I need asap).
Please point me in the right direction, as there really is quite POOR
online OpenSolaris support.. comments posted there for several months
with NO answers, etc..
Thanks,
