[OpenIndiana-discuss] oi151a7 live DVD Grub problems with Dell Precision T3600

[Alex Lam S.L.]

Not sure if this is related to your issue, and I haven't tried oi151a7
on a Live DVD.

But I did a few installations via Live DVDs of earlier versions, and
managed to fail booting once. It is resolved when I burn the same
content on a 2nd DVD and try again.


HTH,
Alex.
