5Attempting to boot S10U6 or express 20805 crashes Vista

Post by david.mcdaniel »

I installed the latest and greatest vb. Any attempt to boot a Solaris DVD
flavor results in crashing Vista a few seconds after the splash banner about license terms comes up. This is a Toshiba satellite 215 laptop.
Any thoughts? I'm not a Windows person so I dont know how to extract any info out of the crash dumps, etc.

It would help if you post your VM settings and what you were exactly doing. If your Host gives a BSOD, note that too (you might need to disable automatic restart on failure to catch it). Please see the Forum Posting Guide for more information to create a proper post.
