Hi Oliver

  That happened to me too. Then today I finally booted OpenSolaris after
editing the GRUB menu and
specifying options to the kernel.

   When the OpenSolaris GRUB shows up, press the "e" key to access the GRUB
edit menu, select
the kernel or kernel$ line in the GRUB main menu and type "e" again to edit
the kernel or kernel$
line, depending on the Solaris release you are running, then add "-B
acpi-user-options=0x2"
(without the quotes) in the end of line, then you should see something like:

grub edit> kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B acpi-user-options=0x2

Now press "Enter" to save your changes and type "b" to boot the system.


You can find other kernel boot options at

I hope that helps, please let me know if that works for you.

Regards

Glaucio Souza
