Try disabling APIC. 'set acpi-options=0x2' in /etc/system. See elsewhere for details on how to do this, as I'm not sure that my memory is correct. > 2.

Which Solaris revision? For Solaris9, see http://tools.de/solaris/ and Solaris10 should support ATI out of the box. In Solaris10, if the Sun X server doesn't, you can try switching to X.org X server, which is also included out of the box. > 3. my PCI sound card isnt detected (Creative Audigy > Platinum) Perhaps the audio drivers from http://tools.de/solaris/audio/ will work for you. > 4. does Solaris support dial up internet connection > or is it specifically configured for ethernet only? Yes, Solaris supports dial up connection, but good luck! Solaris uses the now ancient UUCP for such things, and it is a nightmare to get PPP to work on Solaris. You might as well forget it. Solaris wasn't really meant to be used on dialup, and it shows.
