You could try to connect standard PC USB keyboard , if You have one.

Hi Ulrich,

did you manage to solve this problem? I'm trying also Sol10 on the same
note, with the same results....

Did the USB keyboard helped? I'll try that one also.

If you were able to install Sol10 on E8110, did you managed to set up
everything (nic, wifi, sound, so on)

Many thx in advance!

Hi,

nice to have you with me. ;-)

So here are the facts:
- Curiously Sol10 x86 06/06 didn't work on FSC E8110, but with 01/06
the installation was possible without problems.
- If you will use the internal SATA disk, you have to disable the
"AHCI" support of the SATA-Controller in the BIOS, to be recognized by
Solaris. Be careful if there are other Systems on the internal SATA
disk, as other systems will need this setting. (I use a second drive
in the DVD drive slot which is an IDE-Port and use an external USB CD
drive for installation)
- For the onboard nic 88E8055 there is no support from Marvell at this
time. The Solaris driver on there homepage didn't know the 80E8055 and
if you modify devices_db to recognize the nic, there is a software
error with this driver.
I started a call to Marvell for supporting this nic. I'm waiting for
an answer.

Sound, wifi and so on has no priority to me, but sound did not work
and wifi I had not tested. As this are chipset components I think,
there will be drivers coming up in the near future. Also there are
discussions to bring them to work or they are supported with 06/06.
But otherwise Sol10 06/06 did not run on E8110 (as I told you above).

Xsun supported the kmd so there is no problem.

Hi Ulrich,

I've tried to connect a USB keyboard (and Ps2 also) without any luck.
I've could not find 0106 so I've installed 0305 which is rather old,
but installed without any major problem. I've put it on the SATA disc,
since ahci is disabled by default on my note (and windows works without
any problem).

About the nic: I've tried to use the ndis "project" from opensolaris,
which theoratically makes possible to compile a driver for sol based on
the windows driver. I could build the driver, even load the kernel
module, but when I try to add the driver to the device, the whole
kernel crashes, and the note reboots......

Also theoreitcally there is a driver for the wifi, also on opensolaris,
but it does not work for this note....

Any luck with Marvell?

Good luck&Thx!
Zoltan
