Is there any option via GUI to check what you have mentioned ?
If you still can't log in, try entering your password when the system is expecting your username. As it is echoed, check if it reads correctly.

You drawed my attention to something , I have just remembered it, the system did not ask me about username, to type in!!!, It only asked me about password?

Screen looks like this:

Password:

Session type:
KDE, GNOME, IceWM,Default, Failsafe


Reboot Halt Login

There is no option to enter username, I guess this is the problem

The problem of Bad PBR sig has been solved by doing this :


1- I installed Linux first (not Solaris), but what I did this time, instead of putting bootloader of Linux in MBR, I put it in the first sector of root, which is my case will be resided in (hda1 or /boot).



2- HD (15GB) was divided to:

a- 500 MB Primary to /boot (hda1) for Linux.
b- 6000 MB Primary to be Solaris Partition later
c- 8500 MB Extended Partition for Linux (First 2000 MB FAT32 (Storage), second logical 512 MB for Linux “swap”, third logical 1000 MB for Linux “/ “, and fourth logical 4500 MB for Linux “/usr”)

Both Operating System are working perfectly

I'm confused, you wrote "Both Operating Systems are working perfectly" ...

Well, the login screen you describe doesn't looks like the standard Solaris 10 one, as Solaris doesn't installs KDE, Gnome or IceWM.

Out of the box choice is "CDE, JDS, Default, Failsafe".

The problem comes probably from an external package you installed, and maybe gdm is running vs dtlogin.

Can you log-in remotely from the network ?

This is a Solaris Forum, if you have a problem with some linux distro, you'd better ask for help in the right forum.
