You people are really uptight and defensive about OpenSolaris and any talk

I stand by my position about x86/Sparc, it was developed for x86 laptops
(OpenSolaris is like PC-BSD), because who would develop a data center operating
system that is complete with gnome, firefox, NWAM (which is nice, but not for
dc depolyment), an image viewer, forced to use ZFS, I can go on with unneeded
software for data centers. It's great on a laptop. But the last build I can
get to work on my laptop is 129. I tried again last night when I reinstalled
with build 129 and did an image-update. It merely does a continuous loop. I
get the grub menu and select the new b-e then it reboots the laptop, although
129 still works fine. I may just keep it at 129 instead of reinstalling with
something else.
The b134 has a glitch that it will do exactly as you see. To fix that
you need to edit the grub menu.
Here is a copy of mine, located at: /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst

Notice the entry for osol-134, it's different then the other entries.
The difference is "console-text".
Change your entry and you should be able to boot into 134.

They're my own opinions and what I think doesn't have any affect on Oracle's
decision to keep it or dump it. How I read a vague statement is my personal
decision although it seems here one has no personal opinion or thoughts.
Rather one must join the collective and assimilate or be persecuted.
Any personal thoughts on the future of OpenSolaris that aren't butterflies and
daffodils and you want to burn someone at the stake.
