Similarly, my OpenSolaris 8.11 Live CD gives up soon after the grub prompt, though I am able to choose boot options. In the first option, it gives error messages like "WARNING: pcplusmp: mod_remove_by_name failed 16 WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci107b,600 at id/storage at 2/disk at 0,0 (sd0): Command failed to complete. Device is gone. After a few similar warnings, the CD stops spinning. Game Over.
My other live distros including Ubuntu 8.10, Mint 6 and gOS haven't had this problem. I used Sun's system scanner to see if OpenSolaris would be compatible and it seems okay except for the modem and sound card (old Gateway P4 laptop 600ygr, circa 2002). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
