You have to turn off atapi-cd-dma-enabled at the initial solaris grub boot prompt like: hit "e" on the primary solaris install add ",-B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0" to the line then hit "b" to boot. That should get you a working install. > Also, there was an AMD PCNet patch for Qemu (by Anthony Curtis). > Which (possibly) Xen are using, but it is not included with Qemu. > Solaris has a driver for this, based on the newer 'GLDv2' NIC driver > framework. > I tried quickly (ie i spent 5 minutes on it) porting Anthony's patch > to the updated VLAN-client framework in Qemu, it gets recognised by > the Solaris miniroot, but I must have missed something / made a > mistake as Qemu crashes. Just use the ITU from Juergen. I've installed solaris express b39 and used the ni driver from the ITU and ti works like a champ. (Juergen modified Murayama's ni (ne2000) driver to work correctly with qemu). Ben > > regards, > -- > Paul Jakma paul@clubi.ie paul@jakma.org Key ID: 64A2FF6A > Fortune: > Power is poison.
