I'm new-new with OpenSolaris 2008.05 on x86, but looking to (finally) shift from Win to Unix servers. I have a Unix-Sun upbringing. I've Gparted a 10Gb partition on a near-new Dell gx630, set it to linux-swap, and when I use the OpenSolaris/get CD, it fails (several times, several newly cut CD's). Here're the last 4 lines of the log: [Multiboot-kludge, loadaddr=0xbffe38, text-and-data=0x1786e8, bss=0x0, entry=0xc00000] '/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix' is loaded module /boot/x86.microroot Error 25: Disk Read Error
Why can't I fully install OpenSolaris on this brand new partition? There's a plethera of "upgrade from Solaris" and "upgrade from Linux" posts, but scant few from-nothing-installs to go by. I tried to first install Ubuntu 8.04 to then jump to OpenSolaris, but had Ubuntu problems because my mouse/keyboard are USB. Thx. This message posted from opensolaris.org
