Arrow Solaris 10 - Installation Problems


Hey

Recently I have obtained a copy of Solaris 10, distributed by APC magazine, and after burning the OS from the ISO's I decided to install. After choosing my installation method (Solaris Interactive) it comes up with multiple errors:
'Unable to gain control from the BIOS - EHCI support disabled'.
I was wondering why it has happened, what does it mean and most importantly how can I fix it.

Thanks

Try disabling "plug and play O/S" in the bios to see if it improves.

I think the message means USB 2.0 won't work with your H/W, but probably USB 1.1 will still be OK.

Thank you

I have not tried what you have suggested as of yet, but I doubt it would work with USB 1.0. You see, after that error the installation does not continue. Until I make it happy it wont procede.
Thanks for the help, I will reboot and report back.
*Salutes.. :P
