Hi Gorky, as mentioned, this is unfortunately not (yet) possible. Solaris right now requires a primary partition. Can you relocate the free space (the empty logical partition) to either the end or the start of the extended partition ? If so, you could shrink it and create a new primary from the freed space, which would allow you to install Solaris. But then, you're using SuSE 10.2 / FC6 ? You might want to try installing OpenSolaris as a Xen domU as both of these Linux distributions include the hypervisor. Yes, it's not directly-on-metal but installing in a virtualized environment allows to bypass the need for a primary partition. We've got a Xen port, it's fully paravirtualized so you don't have a huge speed impact by running it as Xen domU. See the xVM project here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/ and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] forum for help/troubleshooting. Would that be an option ?
