A few day a go, the openSolaris community published the first developer preview of the Indiana Project. This project has created a lot of new things for the comming release of Solaris (11). The most important is the new installer BEAUTIFUL AND EASY.
If you want to test it only a CD is needed. Download it, burn it and start it... Yes!!! it is a Live CD!!!. One important thing: if your machine can't run Solaris, maybe can run the Indiana Live CD because at the boot menu (Grub of course) is a new option: NO ACPI. Yeah... Its the first time I can run Solaris (or openSolaris) in one of my machines.
And now the bad news: yes I can run the Live CD with no problem (remember NO ACPI and it runs in 32 bits mode) but after the installation in the hard disk, it can't boot due the persistent problem of the ACPI system. I can't dissable ACPI in the bios of this ACER laptop and the acpi-user-options parameter at the boot menu don't help me much. I tried with option 2 and 8 (dissable and legacy mode) but with no success.
Bufff, this weekend I search for more information about boot options, or installation options of Solaris.
