Hi Darren, Alex yes - we are moving towards the point, when Solaris can successfully be installed when there is already Linux swap primary partition defined on the same disk.
At the time of being, there are some issues, which cause that we are currently not able to install, if Linux swap is present, but they are being solved: 6690824 fdisk(1M) corrupts Solaris VTOC, if there is Linux swap primary partition defined http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6690824 6670311 kernel picks up Linux swap partition (0x82) instead of Solaris2 (0xbf) one http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6670311 When former one is fixed, it will be possible to install Solaris into Solaris2 (0xbf) partition, when it precedes Linux swap one (0x82).
