I got 3 answers from: From: Steve Sandau <ssandau@bath.tmac.com> From: "Mike's List" <mikelist@sky.net> From: Bobby Ramirez <BobbyR@belkin.com> Who all suggested checking the Hardware compatability List on Sun's web site. The precision 300 is not on; but, that in itsself should not stop Solaris. I found after some experimentation that the cause was the on-(mother-)board 3com ethernet network card. I disabled this in the BIOS setup and Solaris installed fine. I can now boot Solaris even with the net card turned on in the BIOS; however, as soon as I "ifconfig elxl0 plumb" the ether card I get a kernel panic caused by a NULL pointer in the elxl module. So it was the net card. Having said that the nVidia graphics card I have is not supported so I will have to swap that out and get another net card. Thanks to those that replied. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Bannocks" <rbannocks@freenet.co.uk> To: <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org> Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2001 11:57 AM Subject: Dell Precision 330 > I have a Dell Precision 330 (Pentium 4+256Mb ram) and Solaris 8 07/01 When I > attempt to boot from the install disk I get a kernel panic.
