If you do not find your hardware listed on this HCL, you can use one of the following tools to quickly estimate whether the Solaris OS is likely to work well with your hardware. Sun Device Detection Tool tells you whether the Solaris OS supports the devices that are detected in your x86 system. Sun Device Detection Tool runs on most popular x86 systems by simply clicking a link - you do not need to install anything. Solaris Operating System for x86 Installation Check Tool runs on any x86 system after you burn a CD and boot from it.

Can OpenSolaris 2008.11 run on my x86 system?

The OpenSolaris 2008.11 liveCD includes the Device Driver Utility (DDU), which is based on the popular Sun Device Detection Tool. To run the DDU, please click on the appropriate icon after launching the liveCD.

Sun provides a free download of the HCTS (Hardware Certification Test Suite) so that Sun Partners and customers can certify systems and components with Solaris on x86 for inclusion in the HCL. It is also possible to add hardware that has not run the HCTS to the HCL by listing it as "Reported to Work" based on customer's self-installation and informal testing.

Note: Use HCTS 4.2 to submit Test Suite Certified hardware. After March 19, 2009, HCTS 4.1 test results will not be accepted.
