Press ENTER to continue. I pressed enter and it booted up just fine. Is this the beginnings of a failing HDD? The drive is only 6 months old. I didn't change any settings in GRUB, nor have I made any system changes. Thanks for any help in advance!

have any idea what this means? For > more details see my other post from feb 27th. Thanks At the time of my search there was only ony entry on this forum on page 20 for feb 27th. However, Two thing to check for: 1. When installing DVD or CDRom's , using initial_install on new partition in the GUI installer or ttinstall on the command line shell from the dvd, do not use a negitive cyl rounding error in setting up Solaris2 and Windows partition (i.e. fdisk under Solaris2). 2. if you are using a Seagate or WD or Maxtor or some other partition manager https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1327989 that overrides the bios max cyl count go back the original bios info boot offset that get layed down on the HD. If you need a extra large disk support, upgrade the bios or it's time to buy a newer MB. plus the Intel or AMD chips all have newer features that support XEN, power management, CACHE, etc... you do not need anything expencive to run Solaris just snv_bxx 512meg or http://osdir.com/ml/os.solaris.opensolaris.help/2008-01/msg00341.html the dev dist 768 and 1 gig runs very nice with zfs, 2g for Xen or lots of Zones. This message posted from opensolaris.org Thread at a glance: Previous Message by Date: FileZilla on Solaris 10 Hi, I just bought a Sun Ultra 24 and it came with Solaris 10. I will be installing SXDE next week when the new version comes out. I installed FileZilla (ftp client) from sunfreeware.com and can run it as root. It works great. When I run it as a regular user, I get the following error: bash-3.00$ ./filezilla The program 'filezilla' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 195 error_code 11 request_code 148 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) I searched google and found page where someone on OpenSUSE had this problem. He had to upgrade Xorg-server to fix a bug. http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/bug-in-opensuse-xorg-security-update I'm wondering if
