While this patch did not help, I am now able to boot the newer Solaris

What I did:
I did replace the 2 Opteron 242 by 2 Opteron 275 borrowed from AMD.

Hi,
This is Ashok Kumar, a newbie to Open Solaris.
Luckily, i got a chance to contribute on One Laptop Per Child project.
Currently the whole olpc team is working on linux.
but i am interested on Open Solaris, and i want port opensolaris to OLPC boards.
It won't be much deal, because it is x86
Hi.
Using install option 3 (Solaris Interactive Text) gave me the possibility to
upgrade. But... the upgrade failed to create the ramdisk at the end of the
first stage.

Hi,
The ipge driver does not support aggregation. For that you need a nemo
based driver called e1000g. This will be available in the next Solaris
10 update
or as a patch from mid August. It is currently available as a Tpatch. (
I'll arrange for someone to send you that directly on Monday )

I have certainly wondered the same.
I know that, at least for some time in the late '90's, that several versions of
linux shipped with some form of Openwin/open look + OLVWM, so it must be open to
