I thank you kindly for the effort, but I should tell you at this point that I
closely follow the development of OpenSolaris.
How closely?

Yes, you are, but just look who the accusations come from, people that want to

It can't be fixed as it is right now. The legal requirements are
dictated by third parties.

The Roadmap on opensolaris.org is very outdated. It claims there has been no
progress since April of 2007.
I've noticed a new release, but it's hard to find out what has been changed.

Easy as
Download the latest DVD, at this time, Build 84.
Install on a system, I use AMD64, Dual core 4000, $70 MSI mainboard.
If the network card is not seen, use an Intel PRO100(from an old PC).
Use at least an 80Gb SATA disk.
If you have more than 3Gb ram, after the system is loaded,
1) How much memory do you have?
With 4Gb of memory, I've had all sorts of problems. Do:
eeprom physmem=60; reboot
This will allocate, just over 2Gb after the kernel is loaded.
32bit PCI card (and mainboard) drivers have problems.
Keep Smiling
//Alan beardal at unixservice dot com dot au
All I want is this:
Can I run the current xVM kernel on this mainboard with 8Gb of memory?
ie. All drivers, SATA, ethernet, graphics, USB all 64bit.
Keep Smiling

Hi Andy,
The sad part is I can't get back to X anymore unless I reinstall the OS and not
install the WL driver.
Any clue when the new one is coming up? I am eagerly sitting here to download
the new release and start using my Solaris X window! :D
Cheers!

Hi everyone,
After 5 days figuring out how to install Solaris on my new VAIO laptop, I ended
up with a bug on snv_79 on having both Graphic and Wireless card from one
vendor, http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=54263&tstart=0.
I have heard it has been fixed on later builds.

If you look here -> http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/
You'll see this -> "It is updated every other Friday." Under the "Solaris
Express Community Edition" section. Assuming that is the release that you are
looking for, b85 is due next Friday, the 21st of March.
Good luck w/your wireless
I'm currently in the process of obtaining new hardware for a ZFS NAS built on
OpenSolaris. Thus far I have the following list of hardware picked out ->
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Brisbane 2.3GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor
My experience:
svn_84 on MSI mainboard AMD64 Dual core with 4Gb ram, no problems with the
normal kernel.
BUT, with the xVM kernel, lots of problems, caused me to get another system with
2Gb ram, did I have a real hardware failure???
Problems fixed with:
eeprom physmem=60
So, just over 2Gb is
Hi Rebby!
Yeah, I kinda crossed my fingers for that!
I was just thinking of cheating, getting is sooner! ;)

Too much memory!
My experience thus far with a MSI Platinum mainboard is, with the xVM kernel
you will need to trim down the memory with:
eeprom physmem=60
This will leave you with just over 2Gb of your 4Gb for user processes.
A bit poor, but, we wait for the driver developers to address
