Hi,

My Sun Blade 150 is currently running Solaris 10 11/06.
I'm now trying to install N55b from DVD.
The DVD boots OK and I get to answer all installation questions, right up to 
the final "Summary" screen. When I click "Next" I get a progress Window which 
says "Initializing installation  0%". Nothing ever happens beyond this point.

The mouse still works.
I can close the installation window and from a shell I can run 
"install-solaris" to begin the installation procedure again. So I know the box 
hasn't crashed.

I've tried loads of different options including clean install, upgrade, 
preserve existing data, keep disk layout the same (6GB OS and the rest for 
/export/home) and just having one big 40GB / partition. None of the options 
seem to make any difference.

I'm using the normal Sun mouse, but the keyboard is a PC keyboard going through 
a Belkin screen switch and a Belkin sun adapter. I can't believe this is the 
cause... but can swap it out for the real Sun keyboard if required.

I'm fairly happy that the DVD is OK because I used Nero to burn the DVD and 
verified the burn.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try next??
In the meantime, I'm going to try n54 to see if the same happens.

Thanks

Simon Bond
