Hi Lukasz, there are couple of issues tracked which currently prevent Solaris from being successfully installed when there is Linux swap primary partition defined along with Solaris one on the same disk. Please see release notes for details and possible workarounds:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/ However, you might be also hitting another bug in your case: 6670311 kernel picks up Linux swap partition (0x82) instead of Solaris2 (0xbf) one http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6670311 Could you please provide output of Linux and Solaris fdisk commands in order to determine if we are encountering exiting issue in your case, or if it is new one ? * Linux # fdisk -l * Solaris (for example) # fdisk -W - c1d0p0 In Solaris case you can obtain disk name by using either iostat(1M) or format(1M) command: # format # iostat -En Thank you, Jan Lukasz Celeban wrote: > Hello, > > I just back from JavaOne where I got OpenSolaris 2008.05 LiveCd ;) > During my trip I tried to install it on my laptop. > > I had 10GB partition for playing with OpenSolaris, so I switch its type to > LinuxSwap/Solaris and tried to install.
