I have installed Solaris 10 as dual booting with windows XP. Installation is fine but its failing to start the XServer.

Mine is Celeron Processor( 1Ghz) , Mercury 810e mother board, 256 Ram

Iam not able to get the GUI in Solaris.
One more Problem is I couldn't boot windows Xp also..

Please anyone help me in this..

I hope you preserved the XP partition(s) at installation.

Which X server are you using ?

Any error messages ?
