Cannot install Solaris 10 10/08 on a Dell Precision T5400.
807559Nov 12 2008 — edited Mar 26 2010Hi,
I try to install Solaris 10 10/08 on a Dell Precision T5400 without success. The machine reboots just after the miniroot banner is shown.
Here is the console output after changing to verbose mode.

<machine reboots>
Solaris 10 05/08 installs without any problem.
Any ideas please?
Thanks,
