Sun Solaris 10 installation problem on IBM ThinkPad R31Notebook

Hello,

I have tried to install Sun Solaris 10 on my IBM ThinkPad R31 notebook, but the system has problem at initial stage of loading the installation software from CD. Here is the message I see on the screen when the CD is loaded:

loading stage2 ....

I changed both memory and the hard drive but I still have the same problem. Can anyone please tell me what the problem might be or what remedial step I should take to install Solaris 10 on R31?

Thanks

Did you try install check CD before the installation?I think that there might be two main reasons:1. Your computer is not supported2. Hard drive may need to be formated to FAT32 or UFS
