Hi there, I've been attempting to install OpenSolaris 2008.5 as a fully virtualised guest on a CentOS 5.2 Xen host. When I boot the OpenSolaris DomU for the first time, I get the blue screen allowing me to pick either the OpenSolaris installer or the text mode installer, but after that the installation hangs. It gets as far as:
SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_86 32-bit Copyright 1983-2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. Hostname: opensolaris Remounting root read/write Probing for device nodes... I'm using the GUI guest OS installer in virt-manager. Here is my setup for the VM: Mode: Full virtualisation (64-bit) Disk: 32GB flat file RAM: 2GB Start-up RAM: 2GB VCPUs: 8 (the machine has 8 real CPUs) OS install image: os200805.iso I suspect that this could be something to do with the OpenSolaris installer starting in 32-bit mode. I didn't get the option to pick between 32 and 64 bit modes for the VM when running through the install setup. Is this the problem, and is there a way to force OpenSolaris to start the install CD in 64-bit mode?
