The sata dvd-rom could be a problem, because some of the (Open)Solaris sata host adapter drivers do not have atapi (= dvd-rom, optical device, ...) support at this time: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6595488 So, on nVidia chipset sata (nv_sata) it could be a problem, but should work with Intel chipset sata controllers (ahci). Anyway: In case of a kernel panic it should have stopped in kmdb, when you boot the kernel with option "-k". Retry with the "-d" flag, too: kernel /boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom,soldevx=true -kd Does that stop at the kmdb "[0]>" prompt, after clearing the screen and displaying a series of dots "...." while the kernel and boot archive are loaded from the optical media? (If it does start at the [0]> prompt, start the kernel with the "::cont" command) This message posted from opensolaris.org
