I have a failing hard drive on my Internet access system running oi151_a8. I have installed a new hard drive, partitioned it with gparted and booted the DVD image. I have been running OI on this box since 148.<br>
<br>
1) at the live desktop I cannot run either installer nor can I open a terminal window. All I get is a nice popup "i/o error" dialog.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div> Could it be that your DVD drive is failing as well? Or simply your motherboard controller?<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<br>
2) when I try to boot from the DVD in single user mode it demands a user name and password, but does not accept "jack/jack" or "root/root". If you need to come up in single user mode from a DVD this is *really* annoying. There is no security if you have physical control of the machine playing games with the person booting from the DVD is pointless.<br></blockquote><div><br>The reference documentation:<br><br><a href="http://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/getting-started/">http://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/getting-started/</a><br><br></div><div>states that the password is 'openindiana' (and likely has been for some time). To make sure I just verified that it works as expected.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

3) I can find NO alternative ISOs! </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not sure what you mean by "alternative". How about the Text Installer?<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

4) The DVD boot menu does not have an install option. WTF?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The desktop has two icons:<br></div><div>- Install OpenIndiana<br></div><div>- Install OpenIndiana using text installer<br><br></div><div>This is usually enough as soon as the system is able to boot up, which is allegedly not your case.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<br>
This *used* to be SunOS where things worked properly and you were not forced into using the very latest version if you didn't want it.<br>
<br>
I fully appreciate that there is only a small group doing most of the work. But this is almost enough to make me give up and just run Windows for my Internet access.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry that your experience is not smooth, but it may vary depending on your hardware.<br></div><div>I have 4 machines and 2 virtualbox instances running OI and encounter issues very seldom (or none that can't be fixed with a bit a effort)<br><br></div><div>Kind regards<br><br></div><div>Aurelien<br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
