Solaris 11 x86 installer hangs on boot

901330Nov 21 2011 — edited Jan 25 2012

I've downloaded both sol-11-1111-live-x86.iso and sol-11-1111-text-x86.iso, they both launch grub successfully, but thereafter they hang almost instantly.

This is a photo of my monitor when the installer has died:

I've installed ubunut and windows successfully on the machine, so the hardware should be ok.

Is there some way I can launch the installer in verbose mode or something to more accurately pinpoint what fails during the boot?
Any other suggestions that can get me closer to installing solaris are welcome as well.
