Ultimately through the advice of LQ members I choose to install the Solaris Community Express Edition. It fails miserably by looping displaying the following message... It first of all loops a couple of times and then I can choose which console to start...then it loops again with the same message... {quote} WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0 (ata0): timeout: abort request, target=1 lun=0 WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0 (ata0): timeout: abort device, target=1 lun=0 WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0 (ata0): timeout: reset target, target=1 lun=0 WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0 (ata0): timeout: reset bus, target=1 lun=0 WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0 (ata0): timeout: early timeout, target=1 lun=0 WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0/cmdk at 1,0 (Disk1): Error for command 'read sector' Error Level: Informational Sense Key: aborted command Vendor 'Gen-ATA ' error code: 0x3 {quote} Before coming up with the message Using install cd in /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 Using RPC for network configuration parameters The install then breaks into a never ending loop displaying the above WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0/cmdk at 1,0 (Disk1): message and its follow ons continuously. Now when I had Solaris 10 installed during normal boot, this message was displayed on the console, but the boot sequence continued. Anyone seen this before and what does it mean. Does the installation process not like the fact that I have a NTFS partition on the first disk. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
