Hi all,

I tried and failed to install Solaris x86 u8 on the following config:

Intel Core i5 661 (3.33GHz) 4M Socket 1156
Gigabyte GA-P55A P55 DDR-III USB3.0 SATA3 6Gb/s
Super Talent DDR3 1600 2G Ram x 4
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 64M Harddisk
Solidata Pacer-64L SSD SLC (limited edition) x 2
Intel Pro/1000 PT Dual Port Server PCI-E 4X Network Card
Gigabyte HD4550 512M DDR3 DVI+HDMI Display Card

It is hang on booting the Solaris DVD. The screen shows the
SunOS banner; then everything is freezed.

I tried to install Windows 7 and Windows 2003 without problem.

Do anyone get any idea? Thanks in advance.

Are you using a SATA DVD Drive, if so can you replace it with an IDE DVD
drive?
I had problems with SATA DVD drives when I tried to upgrade to Solaris
u6, u7 and u8 from Solaris u5.

Does OpenSolaris Live CD boot? If so, would you post the output
of scanpci?

After your suggestion, I tried to use IDE DVD drive. It hangs too.

Any hint?
