You are correct. There was some issue with DVD itself.

I verified checksum and have found that downloaded file is perfect. Lately, I burned DVD version on another
disk again and installed Solaris 10 on my system.

Still I am dealing with few issues.

My system config:
Dell D-620 latitude, Intel Dual Core 2GHz, 2.5GB DDR2 RAM and 80GB HDD.

I have created three partitions on disk C(20 GB -- Windows XP is running), D(35 GB - free space for NTFS) and E(20 GB - installed Solaris 10).
memory mounting for solaris:
/ 10240 MB (I intend to install Oracle 11g later)
swap 4096MB
32 MB
/opt 2096MB
/opt/oracle 1096 MB
/export/home 2464 MB
Problems are:
1. When I restart my computer and choose Sun Solaris from GNU GRUB screen I do not reach upto solaris login window and it seems that system is going to sleep for infinite time after showing below information. It never fetches "Hostname: johnjerry"
