Without better error reporting, it will be very difficult to troubleshoot this further.

I can tell you that Solaris is very choosy about which Intel hardware to install on, you have checked the HCL to ensure that your machine is suported?

http://sun.drydog.com/faq/ is a good faq for the Intel side of Solaris, but I would have to say, there is a certain synergy with Solaris and SPARC hardware.

Jumpstart installations have lots of room for things to go wrong. You may have the incorrect format for your jumpstart configuration file or your profile file may be off. Try taking a look at docs.sun.com for more information on jumpstart technology. The JumpStart BluePrints book from Sun Microsystems Press will give you everything you need to know for both SPARC and x86 JumpStart installations.
