Solaris 10 x86/64 interactive mode installation problem
Hi
I'm trying to install a new copy of the solaris 10 dvd on my x64 intel machine.
I noticed that it couldn't get into a windowed mode installation so
I've tried to install it under VMWARE workstation 6 with the iso image first
in order to test things:
I've noticed that during installation after choosing the interactive mode and
auto configuring the inerface card it starts by displaying "setting up java. please wait..." and then goes into a windowing mode installation.
After burning this iso image into a dvd and trying to install it the same way
under VMWARE it skips the "setting up java. please wait..." and goes
straight into a blue text based installation instead of the windowed one (like
i've tried installing it before the vmware installation test).
I've tried already burning this image several times and i don't know if the
problem is with a defective burn or something else i'm missing.
I have a NEC DVD burner and i don't have any burning problems with iso
images so far so i don't know where's the problem...
The iso image meets the md5check correctly after downloading it 3 times.
Another clue i can give you that will maybe help:
When i mounted the iso image into the IsoBuster tool there weren't any
special signs on the files inside the image but when i mounted the dvd which i burned, there were red X's on them on any time i've burned the iso image and i don't know what it means.
I'll appreciate any help/
Thanks in advance.
