Hi, I thought I could OpenSolaris a try and downloaded 2009.06 first and then snv_134.
The problem with 2009.06 seems to be the NVIDIA driver causing the system to lock up. Booting with -v shows these last messages: 18. Russian 19. Slovak 20. Spanish 21.

Booting into text-mode works though. Having in mind that the drivers in snv_134 should be newer, I downloaded the ISO and booted the CD. Unfortunately, it hangs right after activation of the CPUs: cpu5: x86 (chipid 0x1 GenuineIntel 106A5 family 6 model 26 step 5 clock 2000 MHz) cpu5: Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5504 @ 2.00GHz initialized cpu module 'cpu.generic' on chip 1 core 2 strand 0 initialized model-specific module 'cpu_ms.GenuineIntel' on chip 1 core 2 strand 0 acpinex: c...@5, cpudrv5 /fw/c...@5 (cpudrv5) online cpu6: x86 (chipid 0x0 GenuineIntel 106A5 family 6 model 26 step 5 clock 2000 MHz) cpu6: Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5504 @ 2.00GHz initialized cpu module 'cpu.generic' on chip 0 core 3 strand 0 initialized model-specific module 'cpu_ms.GenuineIntel' on chip 0 core 3 strand 0 acpinex: c...@6, cpudrv6 /fw/c...@6 (cpudrv6) online cpu7: x86 (chipid 0x1 GenuineIntel 106A5 family 6 model 26 step 5 clock 2000 MHz) cpu7: Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5504 @ 2.00GHz initialized cpu module 'cpu.generic' on chip 1 core 3 strand 0 initialized model-specific module 'cpu_ms.GenuineIntel' on chip 1 core 3 strand 0 acpinex: c...@7, cpudrv7 /fw/c...@7 (cpudrv7) online I think the next thing which is supposed to show up is USB. Maybe the problem lies there? Installing in VirtualBox works for both versions so I assume the media are not to blame. HW spec is: Intel S5520SC Workstation Board (not on the HCL though) 2x Intel Xeon E5504, 2GHz 12 GB memory NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB (G92) (also not on the HCL...?) 3x Intel Postville X25-M 80GB Feel free to ask if you need additional information.
