The big difference I've noticed between System V UNIX operating systems like Solaris and AIX and other operating systems is that Solaris and AIX like to use all of the un-used RAM to aggressively cache things to make the system run faster as a server. This trend is especially true with the ZFS file system on OpenSolaris and how it uses the otherwise un-used RAM as ZFS arc-cache to cache file system data. What I suspect is happening is that ZFS and the live CD and the OpenSolaris kernel are using 100% of your computer's RAM on the first boot and that there is bad spot in your RAM that you don't normally run in to when using Linux or Microsoft Windows (because those operating systems don't utilize 100% of your RAM). When OpenSolaris hits the bad spot in your RAM, the computer reboots, resulting in a continuous never-ending reboot cycle.<br /><br />What I do when this continuous reboot happens to me is I use an Ubuntu CD to run memtest86 and I test one stick of RAM at a time until I find the bad stick of RAM and replace it, and once I've replaced it, OpenSolaris boots up fine and actually runs quite well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220955037849965720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893880.post-47734499899040414142007-05-31T00:13:00.000-07:002007-05-31T00:13:00.000-07:00moinak,I had tried all the options, but it keep sa...moinak,<BR/>I had tried all the options, but it keep saying-<BR/>configuring X Fingers Crossed<BR/><BR/>and never goes beyond that.<BR/><BR/>I think I need to boot in to command line mode and try to manually configure Xorg :(रवि रतलामीhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878583588296216848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893880.post-28449699448765958992007-05-30T12:16:00.000-07:002007-05-30T12:16:00.000-07:00Can you please detail what error you saw, any mess...Can you please detail what error you saw, any messages on the console ?<BR/>Did you try the Vesa mode ?<BR/>BeleniX/OpenSolaris uses the same Xorg 7.2 that is present on Linux.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
