Hi Oliver That happened to me too. Then today I finally booted OpenSolaris after editing the GRUB menu and specifying options to the kernel.
When the OpenSolaris GRUB shows up, press the "e" key to access the GRUB edit menu, select the kernel or kernel$ line in the GRUB main menu and type "e" again to edit the kernel or kernel$ line, depending on the Solaris release you are running, then add "-B acpi-user-options=0x2" (without the quotes) in the end of line, then you should see something like: grub edit> kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B acpi-user-options=0x2 Now press "Enter" to save your changes and type "b" to boot the system. You can find other kernel boot options at http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/SYSADV1/getov.html I hope that helps, please let me know if that works for you.
