Hi.
After the boot problem, I have another one!

After selected the interactive install (1 option), the install beginning and crashed.
The windows solaris aborted.

An idea?

Which update of Solaris 10?

Solaris 10U6 (x64) went fine for me.

How much RAM are you giving the VM?

I usually find that if I don't give mine at least 768 for the install, then it will either just hang, crash, etc.

I give it 1 gig, then after the install I back it down to 640 or so. But I play around with ZFS and ZFS eats up any RAM it can get.

** Edit
I see you are using the Graphical Install. I just use the text based one. I know the Graphical one needs a bunch of RAM though.

I was 512Mo for the installation, (like on VMWare).

Ok..... I try to reinstall Solaris with 1Go RAM.
Thanks for this information.
