Solaris on Windows Vista Pro install errors.

Post by listo »

I'm trying to load Solaris 10. The installation starts fine, I select the install mode, then keyboard option then right before the Select a Language option I get alot of errors that scroll by really fast and then a VB popup that says my display is set at 24 bit and it needs 32bit. After this I hit okay and attempt to continue but when I choose 0 for English just junk writes to the screen.

Is there a Display Setting in VB. I cannot find anything and search isn't working.

Thanks

The last time I installed Solaris 10 all I had to do was hit enter the installer defaulted to [41] for the language (english) and I let the installer default the keyboard and other automatic options. Be sure to give it at least 1024 meg of RAM in the VBox settings or it will puke on the install.

Thanks, I had the memory at 1024 already but increased it to 1200mb and the installation started with no errors.
