hi,

forgot some info

it reaches the following screen:

SunOS release 5.10 Version Generic

Use is subject to license terms

and then the cursor keeps blinking and none of the keys like caps lock and scroll lock respond.

So i am asuming it is hung at this place.

The comp is an HP Pavilion dv5000 with 1gb ram and intel Centrino duo.

TIA

best regards

amit

I was just able to boot the DVD on my Dell Lattitude D620 bye turning off the Dual-CPU mode at the BIOS. I am now continuing with my installation.

GOT IT INSTALLED ON MY CORE DUO DELL D620!!!!

Turns out Solaris 10 06/06 x86 does not like Intel's Multi Core Support on Core Duo laptops (at least the Dell D620 Core Duo Centrino).

To get it to work, you need to go into the BIOS, under Performance, Turn Off "Multi Core Support" and then you are ok.

Now I need to get wireless and sound to work.

I have a trouble with Solaris 10 U 2 x86 installation. After the install process only "GRUB>" invitation is on the screen.

when I type "kernel boot /multiboot" - I receive "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist." Looks like OS can't recognize HDD controller.

Hardware:

MB: ASUS P5B (i965)

CPU: Intel Core 2 DUO E6300

RAM: 2x1024 DDR 667

HDD: Western Digital WD1600JB 160 gb

Two machines with the seame hardware have the same symзtoms.

Has somebody any ideas? I wander if i965 is supported by Solaris 10x86 - didn't find any notes regarding that. But may be something else?

Thanks in advance.

I searched in the linux forums, and i found out, that the problem with the recognition of the hard drives and ide periphericals in 965 chipsets is the newest southbridge ICH8, because ICH8 dont support PATA, so uses an extra controller for the ide support(marvell). this is the wiki of a guy trying to install debian on a 965 mobo (http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/~andrew/wiki/index.php/DebianOnIntel965).

Also i bought and intel DG965WH mobo, i would like to run solaris on my machine, hope that in the next release, the solaris kernel dev. guys could make the 965 chipset and ICH8 support.

Hi All,I am not having any luck trying to install Solaris 10 on Intel DQ965GFEKR motherboard. Anyone has any luck with installing Solaris 10 on motherboard with the 965 chipset?Thanks!

I did that (turn off multicore support on a d620) and recently just upgraded the bios to A07 and tried again. Low and behold, it works and 118833-19 now sees two cpus ...

This is an ATA or DMA bug most likely.

I am having the exact same issue on my HP pavillion dv6000. Hangs after "use is subject to license terms." Trying to install off of a DVD.

From all of my research I have concluded that it is an ATA problem with the drives. I now get all the way through the first part of the install only to get a "No Disks Found" error when the installation starts. What is the fix for this?Thank you
