Can't install Sol 9 on Ultra 20

Hi Folks,

I've acquired a Sun Ultra 20 that was previously running Windows 2003.

I'm trying to install Solaris 9 but when booting from the "Installation" CD I get the following messages...

WARNING: consconfig: could not find driverfor screen device /pci@0,0/pci10de,5c@9/display@5

WARNING: Could not attach frame buffer to wscons, error 6

Can't find driver for console framebuffer

At this point the installation appears to hang

I'm using the Solaris 9 for x86 CD's downloaded from Sun's website yesterday.

I'm using a standard VGA monitor & I believe the Ultra 20 has an ATI Rage XL Graphics adapter.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks and regards

Kevin

According to sunsolve the minimum version of solaris supported on the ultra20 is solaris 10. Unless its an ultra 20 m2 in which case you need solaris 10u2.
