Operating Systems Solaris Cannot install or run Solaris 8 on Sun Blade 150 Post 302641603 by juan.brein on Wednesday 16th of May 2012 09:53:39 AM

I'm not sure if it is a Hardware issue... you try to install a very old Solaris version... Try to start the installation using a SOlaris 10 DVD, if it works it could be the driver solaris 8 is using or even a bug on the Solaris 8 installation process.

Try to find the latest solaris 8 Installation CDs, that might fix it as well..

Good luck
