LiquidSage Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 go into to the bios when your virtual os boots and verify that cdrom is 1st in the boot order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Im not positive but I don't think Virtual PC allows unix/linux installs although it says it can.I tried it out for a while, but none of my linux installs would work.Get VMWare and you wont have any probs..

notooth Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Thank you all for your replies. I have just installed VMWare on my laptop, and it works well with Solaris 10 . However, I have a new proplem: Solaris does not recognize the display adapter. The display adapter on my laptop is ATI RADEON IGP 345M. Do you have any idea to fix the problem?

Skyfrog Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I have a new proplem: Solaris does not recognize the display adapterVMware emulates an S3 Trio video card, so that is what you must install drivers for. The guest OS cannot see your real hardware, only what is emulated in the virtual machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
