Solaris 10 Operating System Issues
Solaris 10 1/06 OS Adds Support For GRUB-
Based Booting
Starting with the Solaris 10 1/06 OS release, the open-source GNU Grand Unified
Bootloader (GRUB) has been implemented on x86-based systems that are running
the Solaris OS. GRUB is the boot loader that is responsible for loading a boot archive
into a system's memory. The boot archive contains the kernel modules and
configuration files that are required to boot the system. For more information on
GRUB, you can see the
grub(5)
man page.
For information on how to boot a server that is running Solaris 10 1/06 OS in a
GRUB-based environment, refer to the
Solaris 10 System Administration Guide: Basic
Administration , at this URL:

Solaris 10 1/06 OS Installation Might Fail if
System Has Multiple InfiniBand Host Channel
Adapter Cards (6321372)
During Solaris 10 1/06 OS installation, the installer runs in 32-bit mode. Because of
this, the virtual memory available is reduced. The InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter
(IB-HCA) card by Mellanox typically uses 256 Mb or more of virtual memory for
each card installed on the system. If multiple IB-HCA cards are installed, the system
might not have enough virtual memory and the installation might hang.
Workaround
Remove the IB-HCA cards before installing Solaris 10 1/06 OS.
