Hi folks.
This is probably a dumb question, but i''m not sure where to start.
I have snv_80 running and booting into xVM with no problems.
I am wondering if my hardware supports running Windows Vista in a virtual
machine?
I have a Dell Precision M6300
In particular, I''m wondering if my graphics card and wired/wireless NIC
are going to work?
Vid card: Nvidia Quadro M1600
wired NIC: Broadcom NetXtreme gigabit
wireless NIC: Intel 3945 ABG
# uname -a
SunOS appdev 5.11 snv_80 i86pc i386 i86xpv
# isainfo -x
amd64: ssse3 cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov cx8 tsc fpu
i386: ssse3 ahf cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov cx8 tsc fpu
# psrinfo -vp
The physical processor has 2 virtual processors (0 1)
x86 (GenuineIntel 6FA family 6 model 15 step 10 clock 2400 MHz)
Intel(r) Core(tm)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz
Thoughts?

I went through the setup steps but i''m getting an error running virt-install. the output of "dladm show-link" says that my NIC is legacy... is that a problem? # dladm show-link wpi0 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: wpi0 bcme0 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: bcme0 This message posted from opensolaris.org
This is my NIC: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5756ME Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express(pci14e4,1674)>From what I can see, there is no BGE driver available for this. Mr Google doesnt turn anything up either.:-( frown Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a BGE driver I can use? thanks, Kerry This message posted from opensolaris.org

Buy a USB, Mini-PCI, or PCI of the ones I mentioned if you hope for it to work. I replied to your Xen Daemon Error thread. James
