Hi, I can't seem to get Oracle's OpSol to install. BTW, OpSol 2009.06 installs fine, and reboots fine. (I guess it's fine, not being a Unix person, I don't know what to check for after first boot). I've tried booting it (11) from the USB key and the CD. Both boot and work fine. But the gui-install lets me get all the way done, then starts to do its thing, but then reports it failed before the progress bar leaves 0%. Gparted loads, acts like it will change the disk, but does nothing (yes, I typed in the root password). My hardware is: Medion laptop with: AMD x2 1700Mhz, 4GB ram, 320GB blank HDD, on board nVidia, etc. Most of the hardware shows up in the list, no problems there -- that I can see. Here is the log.

That doesn't make sense, since 2009.06 has no problem manipulating the disk. And more importantly, since I can't deal with compiling, configuring, making, etc. -- if there are any errors) Should I just forget Opsol 11 (since ntgs-3g doesn't work without re compiling the code) and stay with 2009.06? Thanks. I don't mind looking this stuff up and learning, but I find that learning Unix is extremely difficult because I don't know the "basic technical" language (don't know where to start either) and then each variant has its own different dir structure, file/program names, etc. gentisle -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
