First, spell your words out...it's "please", not "pls".

This might be better off in the Solaris forum, not under Linux/Newbie, but based on the error, Google had quite a bit on it:

You don't say what version of Opensolaris you're trying, on what hardware, or what you've done so far, and without details, no one will be able to help you.

How much memory do you have?

Did you boot to a live cd? Did it work then?

i have 2 gb ram(ddr1), intel 915GAV motherboard, p4 processor,

And as we've asked before...what version of Opensolaris are you using? Is it a live CD??

And have you checked the Opensolaris knowledgebase?

Was it properly downloaded (check iso's md5sum against the one in the opensolaris website)? Did you ensure that it got burned properly (low speeds are better for burning iso's)?

Just a note. 11b seems kind of old. It seems like it should be about 130 or so by now.
