Very Computer

Has anyone been successful in getting Solaris x86 to install and
run on a single or (preferably) dual Pentium Pro motherboard? I
have been looking for months and months, but my search keeps
comming up blank. If anyone has actually managed to get this OS
running on one of these motherboards and you'd be willing to share
your configuration with me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

Yeah, I'm running Solaris x86 on a PPro and I've used a 4-way PPro
machine running it too.  You might want to get the latest Driver
Update disks and take a look at the Hardware Configuration
List from SunSoft.  They are available at http://access1.sun.com/
Just click on the x86 on the bookshelf on the imagemap.

Here's my configuration:

Intel Advanced/VS (Venus) Motherboard & PPro 180
64MB Ram
Matrox Millennium
3Com 509B
(No flames on the next two, I can't justify an extra $300 on SCSI...I'm
a student.  Ram is another subject.)
WD 2.5 Gig Hard Drive
Toshiba 8x IDE CDROM
SB 32 PnP
Supra 33.6 Modem

All my devices are working fine under Solaris.

Running a HP Vectra XU 6/150 (single PP150) right out of the package,
2.5 booted off DU4 and ran continuously since.  Works great.  Only
change I had to make was to trade the HP 100VG board for a 10BaseT
3c510.....

You should look at a recent Hardware Comaptability List.  There are
several PentiumPro systems that are supported.
