[Sunhelp] Hardware Compatible

[Sticha Cory Contractor AMC CSS]

Trevor,

Can you give more details on your system?  I've installed Solaris 7 on my
AMD K6 (200 MHz) without any problem.  Have you matched up the components in
the system with the Hardware Compatibility list from Sun?  There might be
something else that's causing the problem.

Hello all,
 
I tried to install Solaris 7 on a PC that has
an AMD-K6 processor in it, but the installation
is coming to a halt when it gets to the screen that 
displays the message "Determining bus types and 
gathering hardware configuration data..."
 
I've installed this Solaris 7 more than once or
twice on PCs that have Intel processors without
any problem.  So, my initial guess is that I can't
get beyond the "Bus Enumeration" screen because 
of the AMD processor.   Can anyone corroborate this
guess?
 
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to
respond to my question.  I hope you're having
a great day.
 
Trevor C.
