When the DVD boots and you select the Solaris Express Developer Edition, you should see a menu, instead select desktop console mode instead GUI. static IP vs dhcp depending on where or not you use a dhcp enabled router, after the system is loaded from the dvd, and it reboots log into root and if your not on the internet insert a usb memory disk, and save the output of the following commends to the /media subdirectory of your mounted UDB mem stick. and post the info with the attach files button. uname -a ; cat /etc/release ; /usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v ; prtconf -pv ; prtdiag -v ; cat /var/adm/messages ; This message posted from opensolaris.org
