Can't install Solaris 10 on Parallels I want to use Solaris 10 to develop applications, but I want to keep Windows. I thought about using Parallels. I bought and installed it, and I downloaded all of the 5 Solaris 10 for x64 iso's. I am trying to install it on Parallels, with the guest OS selected as Solaris 10 (of course), and I am setting it to boot from the first disc ISO. I get these following screens- the Parallels start screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/0.jpg ), followed by the Solaris boot screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/1.jpg ). Then I select Solaris, and get the following screens- (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/2.jpg ). Then, the underscore at the end is replaced by the text "Detecting Devices", and then a whole bunch of text pops up on the screen which goes down to the bottom, and this is the ending screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/3.jpg ). After that, from the Solaris 10 installation instructions, it says I should get another option screen, but it just returns to the Parallels start screen that we got in the beginning. The whole set of screens then starts again. I have selected the other Solaris boot options, but with the same result. I am using the x64/x86 CD's, and I have tried the SPARC CD's without it even recognizing it as a boot CD. As an ending note, I know in the screenshots it looks like I have Windows Vista, but I am running Windows XP SP2 with some design changes to make it look like Vista. Thank you in advance for your assistance, and if there is any other information I can give you, I would be happy to oblige. |
