807559Aug 28 2001 — edited Sep 17 2001Hi,
I am trying to install Solaris 8 X86 on a dell latitude laptop.
{ Dell Latitude CPi D300XT ~PII 300~64Mb RAM~ }
During the "Bus Enumeration" stage (from Diskette) I get this......
Warning: Resource Conflict - both devices are added.
NON-ACPI device: PNP0C01
Port: 800-83F, 840-84F; Memory: FFFE0000-FFFFFFFF, 100A0000-100FFFFF

....Loading com.bef.....
....Loading ata.bef.......
I then choose to boot from CD (Solaris 8 X86)
....Loading Drivers......
I then choose to install using the "Solaris Interactive" option.
.... Booting /kernel/unix.....
....configuring /dev and /devices....

THIS IS WHERE THE INSTALL HANGS!!!!
how can I cure this resource conflict? I have read somwhere that setting " setprop acpi-user-options '0x2' "
may help. but where will I set this? I asume that I may have to edit a file on the DCA Diskette, where and how?
Any Ideas on this one B4 I give up and go Linux.....
