Solaris 8 install aborted

Post by cobbaut »

Hi,

I am trying to install Solaris 8 on Virtualbox OSE 3.1.8 running on Ubuntu 10.04.

It boots form the cdrom (thanks to passthrough), starts the autoconfigure and gets up to the booting of the kernel (see attached screenshot).
What follows is a white screen for about ten seconds, then Virtualbox aborts the virtual machine.

Any tips on how to continue please, I will also attach the log file.

upping the RAM from 256mb to 512mb solved the problem.
