Hi folks, I just bought a "HP Pavilion dv8113cl Turion 64 ML-37, 2GHz 1GB, 80GB, 80GB, 17-in. WXGA+" laptop from Costco. Here are it's specs:
http://tinyurl.com/s2yaf I am trying to boot the latest version of the Solaris Express (b33) on it and I can't seem to get past the installer booting the initial screen. I've tried Solaris 10 01/06 which gives the same behaviour. Interestingly, Solaris 10 03/05 boots with no problems... Every time I boot, it gets past Configuring Devices: and I get a colorful screen with garbage all over (sorta of like green men running around drunk on St. Paddy's day) Here's what I am finding (hand copied): Boot args: -B install_media=cdrom -kdv ... SMBIOS v2.31 loaded (1103 bytes)pseudo-device: dld0 dld0 is /pseudo/dld at 0 npe0 at root: space 0 offset 0 npe0 is /pci at 0,0 PCI Express-device: pci1002,5a3f at 1, pci_pci0 pci_pci0 is /pci at 0,0/pci1002,5a3f at 1 8042 device: keyboard at 0, kb8042 #0 kb80420 is /isa/i8042 at 1,60/keyboard at 0 8042 device: mouse at 1, mouse8042 #0 mouse80420 is /isa/i8042 at 1,60/mouse at 1 NOTICE: Kernel debugger present: disabling console power management PCI Express-device: pci1002,4373 at 13,2, ehci0 ehci0 is /pci at 0,0/pci1002,4373 at 13,2 PCI Express-device: pci1002,4374 at 13 ohci0 ohci1 is /pci at 0,0/pci1002,4374 at 13,1 cpu0: x86 (AuthenticAMD family 15 model 36 step 2 clock 2000 MHz) cpu0: AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 PCI Express-device: pci1002,4371 at 14,4, pci_pci1 pci_pci1 is /pci at 0,0/pci1002,4371 at 14,4 PCI-device: pci103c,309b at 4, pcic0 /pci at 0,0/pci1002,4371 at 14,4/pci103c,309b at 4/pcs at 0 (pcs0) online .... Then this hangs...just sits there doing nothing. I checked around on google and found a link: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=opensolaris-help&a=2005-09&t=1335349 This mentions something similar to what I am finding. I am going a bit nuts trying to understand exactly what is causing this. I've tried: - acpi-enum=off - acpi-user-options=0x2 - disable-xsvc=true Any guidance would be much appreciated.
