Solaris 10 & Latest Open Solaris release, install CD reboots
Hi All,
I've been trying to install Solaris 10 onto my machine:
Tyan Thunder K7X (AMD 760MP Chipset)
2x AMD Athlon 2400+
2,5 GB Memory
Adaptec 2100S Raid Controllers
When the installation CD boots, you see a couple of dots appearing, then some text shows which quickly disappeared while the machine was rebooting. It was to fast for me to read, so I thought I might be a little more lucky by attaching a serial console to my pc. This captured the following information:

Well I see some ACPI things there, so I tried to circumvent ACPI by one disabling ACPI in the BIOS, two, passing the user-acpi-options=0x2 to the kernel at boot time (tried also with just 2, 4 and 8, whatever they do :P).
The thing is, I kept getting exactly the same results, what's going on here? Is ACPI not disabled, is it not ACPI but something else? I've also tried it with less than 2GB RAM, since I read somebody had trouble installing with over 2GB RAM, but this wouldn't help either. Any help/tips/suggestions are greatly appreciated
