Hello, I'm new to OpenSolaris (never run it before), and I would like to install it on my test server to see what it is all about. Currently the latest XenServer is installed, but I would like to remove the data and install OpenSolaris.
I'm using a HP ProLiant DL140 server with a 1.6GHz Xenon processor. When i boot into the CD (osol-0906-x86.iso), i select an option (tried all) and it says "Loading Stage 2". Then it shows a blue screen and dots apear on the screen. After that a screen apear (black with white characters) and the last thing i see says something like (goes away really fast) "Checking filesystem". Then my server reboots and I'm back at the start again. As you can see, I never even got close to installing the software itself. I wasn't able to perform a MD5 check on the ISO, because i can't find the MD5 file on the site (maybe i'm not looking in the right direction). I have searched on this forum but maybe I have searched with the wrong keywords. I wasn't able to find a discussion about this. If there is one about it with information on how to solve it, please point me there. Message was edited by: poserman -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
