Greetings, managed to install the Opensolaris after making the following changes in the BIOS: 1. BIOS Change: set the configuration for the SATA controller from AHCI to 'compatibility'. (==> SATA controller acts like a PATA controller) --> after this change the installation failed at 84% progress bar 2. BIOS Change: set the power management for the CDROM to 'silent' With these two settings the Opensolaris install was successful.
Switched the two settings back to normal after the install had finished - the system runs OK. There seem to be a problem with the AHCI though, because the installed system freezes, when copying data at a high rate. For instance copying the Opensolaris application software image (iso image file) for offline installation using the 'rsync' command recommended in the documentation. Can not say whether it is a general problem or dependant on the special HW - disk drive combination. /probear -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
