Has anyone installed solaris alongside 9.3? Any issues or comments?

Maybe because SuSe 9.2 crashed and burned after only 2 weeks, and I have been loath to buy 9.3?
9.2 caused me no end of issues.. but 9.3 has been rock solid and is worth the price of admission. I suddenly and without notice didn't have permissions to execute man <whatever> as a user or as root in 9.2 .. it got worse as time went on. I almost moved to FreeBSD because of the issues... and had it not been a company directive that the servers I was building be SUSE.. I would have. :/

Seems you may need to pay a little attention to the state of youur HDD's rather than slating it off , Those are some of the classic signs of failing drives .
So they've been failing for 5 months? Kinda odd that they would take almost half a year to fail. If they are failing then why has 9.3 run like a dream since install? I doubt it's the drives, maybe fs corruption but the drives are fine. I got 9.3 within days of it being available and installed it... haven't had an issue since. Also, the largest issue was a bug in 9.2 that caused the servers to take 15-30 minutes to boot even if it was a warm reboot... the issue didn't occur with Redhat FC or Gentoo .. and 9.3 hasnt suffered from it either... 9.2 was just prone to issues. No worries. it's a distant memory for me. Cheers! -Ben -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
