When this happened on my system it was because Grub wasn't recognising the full 
size of my hard disk. I'm guessing you just get a black screen with white text, 
rather than the usual graphical backdrop?

I recently installed build 68 on my system, but it seemed to work this time. It 
might be down to Solaris not being set up 100% correctly - or it may be 
something else. One thing you could try is to completely wipe the hard disk 
using something like DBAN (see dban.sourceforge.net) running in "zero fill" 
mode. Once you've done that, install Solaris using its defaults. Once you've 
done this, try changing the translation geometry for the disk to your BIOS' 
default setting (setting it to auto-detect the disk usually do this). Note that 
you should do this after you've wiped the disk since some BIOSes try to match 
the translation mode to the partition table. Like I said though, this may not 
get you any closer a solution. :-(

Cheers

Andrew.
