Can you tell us what kind of error you are having? It difficult for us to assist without knowing what kind of problems you are seeing.

Just as an aside I managed to install Solaris 10 on a Toshiba Satellite A30 without issues - you do need to give us more information as reborg indicates otherwise we cannot assist.
