Installation error Solaris 10
Hi there, new to unix/linux, please excuse me!
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a machine, and after some teething problems (on another thread) I have got so far with the installation and am now getting an different error:
Warning
Error : The Solaris CD/DVD you inserted is not compatible with the architecture of your system.
This happens after choosing whether I want automatic/manual cd ejects/reboots.
I am then given a 'The system is being initialized' screen with 'Loading install media, please wait...' where it hangs.
The machine is:
Intel Celeron 700Mhz
256 Mb RAM
Install from DVD with a .iso burn from Sun Solaris
I get to :
Select Automatic/Manual reboots
(I choose automatic)
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
