[indiana-discuss] opensolaris 2008/11 rc2 on macbook pro (fdisk fails during installation)

[Basant Kumar kukreja]

I am trying to install opensolaris 2008/11 rc2 build on macbook pro. I am
trying to do dual boot on same machine. Installation fails saying :
Couldn't obtain information about geometry of /dev/rdsk/c4d0s2.
Could not crate VTOC target
TI process failed.

# fdisk -G [ output typed from hand ]
Partition  Status  Type   ....
1                  EFI
2                  Other OS
3          Active  Linux Native
4          Active  Solaris2

Previously when Partition 4 was not active, I was having error mentioned in
(fdisk -F fails). 
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6413235

After I made the partition active (from Linux fdisk command), now fdisk
is not able to get partition geometry.
I found some similar issues :

Mac OS X and Linux are booting fine. I used "diskutil resizeVolume" to shrink
the original partition.

Any suggestion or workaround?
