Hmm, the CD contains the 32-bit kernel only. The installed OS contains both 32-bit and 64-bit kernel modules. And the 64-bit kernel is the preferred kernel on 64-bit capable systems. Is your box a 64-bit x86 box? Note that some of the closed source drivers are 32-bit only. For example the syshisl driver, for the 53C896 scsi hba. (Workaround: force booting the 32-bit kernel) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
