    What is the license status of this? Solaris 10 is available at no charge, but requires an entitlement obtained through registration; can this appliance be used without registration? (Does Sun know about this?)

    I've seen that URL, and, especially with the answer to question 3 therein, I think there's still an issue on which we need some guidance from VMware.

    I get

    panic: cannot open kernel/amd64/unix

    when I try to use this. Does it support the AMD dual core chip?

    Hello,

    When they system is booting select > Solaris Failsafe

    When you get the prompt to auto update boot archives select y

    when you get the prompt

    cd /

    ls

    we are looking for a file called reconfigure if it is there then

    /usr/sbin/init 6

    if it is not there then

    touch /reconfigure

    /usr/sbin/init 6

    This should reconfigure the system to see your AMD processor.

    Followed your instructions:

    FailSafe

    touch /reconfigure

    /usr/sbin/init 6

    panic: cannot open kernel/amd64/unix

    Ok lets see if we can force it to reconfigure /devives and /dev

    This makes sure the file system is read/write

    mount -f ufs -o remount,rw,nologging /devices/ramdisk:a /

    Commands to reconfigure dev and devices

    /usr/sbin/drvconfig

    /usr/sbin/devlinks

    /usr/sbin/disks

    /usr/sbin/ports

    /usr/sbin/tapes

    /usr/sbin/audlinks

    /usr/sbin/devfsadm -C

    init 6

    Hopefully this will force picking up the AMD processor.

    I can not get to this link to download the .rar file. I only get "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." when using my browser and Filezilla shows an initial connection but failure to establish a session using the supplied logon info. Is there anywhere else to download the file from directly. I do not want to install BitTorrent on my workstation.

    Thanks.

    I also met the same problem in an Intel Core2 system.

    In this page I found a workaround:

    http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6375097

    in grub menu

    press e

    move down to the line start with "kernel", press e again

    add " kernel/unix" and press enter

    press b to boot

    Hi, can this image still be downloaded somwhere? The original download (ftp) server seems to be unresponsive...

    Why not put this image somewhere that it can be downloaded via HTTP instead?

    Sorry, I should have looked.

    I've not seen .rar before. What are the install steps?

    I do have Solaris 10 running, but your packaging looks interesting.
