Could you test whether Solaris 11.4 CBE works fine on your T5240?

See: https://www.oracle.com/de/solaris/solaris11/downloads/solaris-downloads.html

It's free for non-commercial use.

I've downloaded 11.3 I'll work to install 11.3 this evening and report back.


I think I may have hardware issues.

The install failed to boot completely for Solaris 11.3. I received an error:

I was able to break out of the install and get a shell. 

From there I ran:

So this probably isn't the proper place to continue with this since this list is for Debian. But I don't really know where to go from here. I'm just trying to start with Sun/Sparc things.
