Thanks Liam for the information. I had figured build 70 and higher would be more appropriate than the earlier builds, but wanted to make sure:)

Not all bugs that went into Nevada in a build listed below necessarily made it to the listed S10 release. snv_41: LDoms code integrated into OpenSolaris snv_50: S10U3 snv_57: LDoms 1.0 (which was S10U3 plus some patches) snv_67: S10U4 Personally, I'd strongly recommend not using any Nevada/OpenSolaris build earlier than snv_70b (aka SXDE 9/07). Use snv_79 or greater if possible. > I also tried out a few other OS's that support the sun4v platform and found that Ubuntu Linux 7.10 works. It would appear that the other versions of Linux for SPARC lack the proper LDoms support. I also found that the FreeBSD port to sun4v is rather stale:( LDoms support went into the 2.6.23 kernel (see http://www.fabbione.net/blog/ for example). I'm not certain what other Linux distributions have this kernel revision but I think Gentoo also supports LDoms. -- Liam ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
