r.g. I feel your pain. I'd be careful of that board. I have OpenSolaris installed on a box using a similar AMD chipset (780G in a Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H). It works fine with 2009.06, but not with either of the two releases prior to that. And not with the recent development builds of 2010.02.
I don't know the cause of the issue with 2010.02 - it won't finish booting and my knowledge of OpenSolaris isn't sufficient to find out what is going wrong. Prior to 2009.06, the issue was http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6764179 (but you could work around it, by booting in 32bit mode). In SNV116 a further change was committed, http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6773433. I speculate that this is the cause of my boot problems. I'll be posting shortly to try and find out how to find out what is causing my problems. I haven't had problems with the inbuilt NIC, at least not since 2008.05. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
