Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 freezes at the beginning of an installation Post 302255040 by jbyram82 on Wednesday 5th of November 2008 08:23:35 PM

I guess an update, of sorts.

This morning, I was trying the installation once again, this time with Solaris 10 08/10. The first two times it would freeze at the same spot as it was freezing with 08/05, but on the third try, I had to leave the room on the first "grey screen with white console box" where it asks "If the screen is legible...." When I got back to the room, the grey screen and white console box was no longer there, and I was presented with a black screen and, if I remember correctly, a language menu. From this point on, I was able to continue on with the installation (or so it seems -- I didn't get the chance to install Solaris, as time constraints were in effect).

Sooo....it seems as though the problem is solved, sort of. I'm able to install Solaris, but I have to use a "workaround" to do so. Any ideas why this would happen, that if I simply wait on that grey screen with the white console box, it will seemingly bypass all of that and continue on?

Thanks.
