Hey everyone, I was able to install OpenSolaris 2008.11 on my Mac Pro (rev 2,1) but I'm having trouble booting it up.
I used the live DVD and installed to a hard drive using the full drive. When I boot up in graphical mode the orange bar just goes around and around forever. When I use text mode there's an error about not being able to get the IRQ buffer because the size is greater that 4094. There's also a message about not being able to attach a usb hub. That usb keyboard and mouse worked fine during install. Then it just sits there. No login prompt or anything. The kernel is awak though. When I tapped the power button it registered a power event. I've only been able to find one or two blog posts about running opensolaris on a mac pro. Anyone have it working?
