are you using sol10 x86? can you verify the hardware is compatible with the HCL ??

I suppose its compatibility issue. Were you using the installation cd for x86? Or were you using the one meant for Sparc?

just ordered it from sun. cd's 1 thru 5 and 2 language cd's. "solaris 10" the cd is stamped "x64/x86". i verified x86 when i ordered. as far as compatibility, i had solaris 8 (x86) running fine. my memory is 2(pc100 256), requires 512. it is an older dell box...Dell optiplex GX110.. maybe ill try it on a newer pc??!! thanks anyway...
