Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 freezes at the beginning of an installation
# 8  
Old 11-07-2008
Er, Duke, I apologize. I didn't mean for that to sound like it was a "software workaround," but more of a "I don't know what's going on, but it works" workaround.

I guess it's not that big of a deal, since I'm able to install Solaris. If the videocard/adapter is the problem, then it really is confusing, because that was one of the first things I checked to make sure was compatible. I didn't find anything mentioning that the card would cause problems.

Again, not a big deal, but I am curious about it (and maybe, this should be documented somewhere). I do appreciate the help and suggestions, though.

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
