I have one Dell PowerEdge 2900 with one 32 GB SSD connected directly to the motherboard and 8 x 1 TB SATA HDDs connected to PERC 5/i, each physical SATA disk presented as a RAID0 logical disk. The purpose is to use these 8 HDDs for a RAIDZ2 volume.
Now, I tried to install OpenSolaris 2008.11 but the installation program hangs after "Probing for device nodes ...". It just stays there forever (or at least two hours :). Next I downloaded SXCE 106 and the installation appears to be okay (or at least I didn't see any error), I was able to install the system on the SSD but the first boot hangs after "Use is subject to license terms". Any ideas? What can I try? NetBSD on this hardware was rock solid... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
