I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, sorry (if anyone
knows anywhere better, let me know!)

Has anyone installed Solaris 10 on one of these laptops? I've just
tried it and it all seemed to work fine except for two things:

It complained about an ACPI and a non ACPI device clashing somewhere
in the pre-boot stuff. I don't really know anything about x86 HW (let
alone Solaris on it) so I don't know what this means, whether it
matters, or how to fix it if it does...

It didn't ask me any of the networking questions, which I suspect
means it did not find the ethernet card at all. ifconfig -a showed
nothing but lo0 when it had done, so I guess this is right.

Having the network work matters unfortunately - most of the other
fancy stuff such as wireless &c doesn't really.

Does anyone know anything I might try, or anywhere I might ask?

Thanks
