FWIW
I have a couple of older house brand machines which boot & run everything up to
S10 U7 just fine. However, neither S10 U8 nor OI will boot. I encountered
similar problems w/ recent versions of Linux. In the Linux case, I was able to
figure out boot options (IIRC noacpi) that allowed Linux to boot. I've not
pressed the issue w/ Solaris because I really only use the older machines for
testing and I've got several newer systems.
I'd *really* like to see OI provide FreeBSD style console boot messages so one
has some clue as to what is going on when things fail. It took a ridiculous
number of attempts booting Linux before I was able to read the message that
flashed by on the console and fix the problem.
If you'd like the details, email me and I'll look for them.
Good luck,
Reg
