Boot load failed, fatal SCSI error, disk read error, Elf64 read error

Just came from vacation and started the Unix Solaris system from work.
Unfortunately I get these errors that you can see in the image:
Can someone tell me what is the problem? Until now I didn't had this issue before.
Thanks!

This thread has been moved from the Solaris Kernel discussion space,
to the Sun Servers HARDWARE discussion space, for closer topic alignment.
I concur with Pascal that you do not have a Solaris kernel issue, nor even a Solaris issue.
You have an ancient AXI systemboard (which was a piece of hardware manufactured by Sun Microsystems for the OEM market --  most likely the SPARCengine CP1500 board).  It is UltraSPARC-IIi hardware that is about 15 to 20 years old, and it is tired.
I suggest you shut the box down, completely take it apart and then put it back together again.
Remove all accumulated dust and lint.
Remove and reinstall the CPU modules.   Remove and reinstall the RAM.  Remove and reinstall all expansion board risers.  Remove and reinstall all adapter cards.  Examine all internal data cabling.   Clean any and all cooling fans as well as the power supply.
  That action will burnish all mechanical and electrical connections.
After you have re-assembled the box, boot from CDROM and examine all your filesystems.   FSCK any that require it.

  • Receiving error "disk could not be read from or written to" during synch.

    When I try to synchronize my iPod to iTunes, I get the following error:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk [ipod name] failed. That disk could not be read from or written to."
    This error occurs only when I have put about 0.5 GB onto my 4.0 GB model, so there's plenty of disk space. I have completely reloaded/reformated the iPod & iTunes software on both my computer and iPod on numerous occassions, but I have had no additional luck.
    I fear that this might be an issue with the actual hard drive on the iPod.
    Can someone help?

  • IPod Error - Disk could not be read from/to

    I just got an iPod 20G, but when I try to update it with iTunes, I get an error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "(name)" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". Some songs, however, do get copied before I get the error. I am using Windows XP, iTunes 5, and iPod 20G color display. I have updated the software on both the iPod and iTunes. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

    Sounds like an iTunes issue.
    Uninstall iTunes.
    Reboot the computer.
    Just to be safe, run the newest "Updater" (download if you have to), wait for it to say to connect your iPod, connect your iPod, then select "Restore" (WARNING: this will erase the contents of your IPOD). But since you haven't been able to use iTunes, there shouldn't be anything on it. Follow the instructions (it might say to plug it into the wall charger when it's done restoring).
    NOW reinstall iTunes (again download the newest one)
    Reboot your computer, again.
    Start iTunes
    Connect your iPod
    Follow the screen messages (you should register, just incase you have warrenty issues).
    Hopefully it will work. If not, come back and give an update.

  • 2G Shuffle error "disk could not be read from or written to"

    Just recieved a 2G as a gift. First sync went fine. Songs transferred without issue. Wanted to change some settings and re-sync with new songs and got the error message "disk could not be read from or written to".
    Have tried on an XP64 and a Windows 2000 machine with same error. I can sync from an XP Pro Laptop fine. All three are using the same driver (USBSTOR.sys).
    Need some help trouble shooting this issue. The XP64 is my main computer and is the one I would like to solve this issue on. I also have a 30GB iPod that syncs on the XP64 machine with no problems.

    I don't think the Apple store folks will be able to do anything because the issue is not with every computer.
    The fact that I have a computer that can sync with the Shuffle without errors tells me there is an issue with the other 2 machines. As I cannot use the Laptop as my primary library I would like to solve the issue.
    I still suspect either iTunes itself or the driver. If anyone else has any suggestions please share them.

  • ERROR - disk could not be read or written to

    I have reinstall software, updated IPOD to 2006 software, restored Ipod shuffle and when I try and Autofill using my own list of songs I get this message: The Ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to.

    I've gone right of iShuffles. Mine refused to play ball a couple of months ago so my wife kindly got me a new Video iPod - which I recommend) and my son's shuffle decided to shuffle off this mortal coild too. I used the online Apple service to get both replaced - really excelent service, replacements to my door and return service too. Full marks Apple.
    My replacement Shuffle worked just fine. My son's - zero marks Apple. disk could not be read or written.
    No kidding, I've been removing, re-installing, plugging, unplugging... for six hours straight now! I've definitely read all that Apple have to say, which isn't much.
    I've definitely stripped out all iPod and iTunes mentions and gone from the original install CD to latest versions - same result. Then just straight to latest versions after removing everything, same result.
    When I plug this same shuffle into my HP Laptop - it just works fine, no problem at all. This is what's kept me going all these hours - it MUST be a software issue on our shared home computer. I virus and shareware checked and cleaned, but no issues there. Some mentions on other forums showed users who's startup drive letter was not C: cured the problem by changing to C: but mine already is.
    So I'm completely at a loss now. What I am curious about is that the posts on this subject are all in the past few days - could it be an issue with the latest iTunes or Shuffle updater? My laptop on which it runs is has iTunes 6.0.2.23, but that was on the problem machine before I updated in the first attempt to cure the problem. So it isn't the iTunes version. And my HP has the latest iPod updater on it too, so can't be that simple either. And the Shuffle fails on one machine while working on the other with the same firmware in the Shuffle, so it can't be just that either.
    There's a story about Thomas Edison being positive in his search inventing a working lightbulb - along the lines that it took him 10,000 failures before he found a solution. At each point he celebrated having identified another way that did NOT work, bringing him one step closer to the answer. So in that vein... I can celebrate about 20 ways I have identified to NOT solve this problem. If it were left to me, we wouldn't have electric light - I'd have given up;-)

  • Can't format cloned SSD that stopped booting in my MacBook Pro. Disk Utility always posts an error with mount and unmount issue. Any clues?

    Is there any way I can reformat a cloned SSD that was used to upgrade my original HDD?
    It suddenly stopped booting (a progress bar always appeared followed by a shutdown)
    I've tried to reformat the SSD via USB case, and using Disk Utility, but it keeps on send error message with unmounting issues.
    Any clues as how to overcome this problem?
    Thx
    Nuno

    Have you connected that drive to another computer and if you have can you do anything with it on the other computer. If not then the drive has failed.

  • Firmware update error - disk can not be read or written to

    Just wanted to post a solution for anyone who has this error in the future as I spent quite a few hours figuring this out and couldn't find any threads on it except this link...http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267
    What solved this problem for me is formating the ipod from My Computer. Go to My Computer. Right click the drive Ipod appears in (E in my case). Go to format. After done go to Restore Ipod from the Ipod menu item and it should work this time without further error messages. Cheers.

    i just got a 30gig and was trying to load it with
    music and getting the same message. what finally
    worked was unhooking a usb hub and just hooking only
    the ipod and keyboard to the back of the pc. now i
    have to figure out how to get the rest of my usb
    equipment hooked back up so it won't interfer with
    the ipod.
    Try a powered USB hub...

  • Boot load error

    Hello,
    I'm getting the following error when I try to provision an OS using N1:
    Rebooting with command: boot /pci@780/pci@0/pci@1/network@0:dhcp - install
    Boot device: /pci@780/pci@0/pci@1/network@0:dhcp File and args: - install
    100 Mbps half duplex Link up
    Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply
    TFTP server not specified
    ERROR: boot-read fail
    Evaluating:
    Boot load failed
    I know the image is ok, because I provision another system. They ARE however on different subnets, but I believe that was setup ok.

    Well,
    snoop / tcpdump for DHCP/TFTP on that subnet to be quite sure DHCP packets get to target. This way you wouldn't have to say "I believe" but you will be sure, that DHCP offers reached target and all is fine from this perspective ;)
    DHCP carries the info from where the image can be downloaded. Then TFTP will be involved(but you seem to be failing before that step).
    The other explanations could be, that DHCP server from your N1SM server doesn't run (not probable, since you provisioned something else) or there is some networking HW error (is the correct cable in correct interface?).

  • Disk could not be read from or written to? Why won't my show download?

    Everytime I try to download the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy, the show starts to download and gets toward the end, but then says Error: Disk could not be read from or written to. Other short movies and music have downloaded fine; it's just this one episode. Am I doing something wrong or is it the store?
    Thanks for you help!

  • Moving library to external hard drive and get the error "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"

    Hello,
    I'm moving my library to an external hard drive.
    I've made sure to use the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized' option when pointing to the new library location.
    I select 'File'->'Library'->'Organize Library', I select to 'Consolidate Files', click 'OK' and get ther error message "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
    I've read elsewhere that there may be a corrupted file that I need to sequester somehow and perhaps add it back however I'm not certain how I can locate that file because the status window doesn't indicate which file it's attempting to transfer when the error appears.
    Any tips?
    Thank you,

    iTunes 10.6.3

    OK I figured it out!
    It was a dodgy file....I sorted the file folders by date, and as it turned out within the "compilations" folder there was a CD where only about half the tracks seemed to have been copied over. Could not have identified this simply from the time indicated on the finder folder sort, because there were several CDs copied over in the that same minute.
    I went back to the original itunes folder, deleted all the files from that CD in itunes, then also deleted all those files from the original disk and the target disk.
    Tried the "consolidate library" again, and it completed nicely. 200megs of music and videos.
    Very happy to solve this problem after 3 weeks.

  • Error "COPYING MUSIC FAILED. The disk could not be read from or written to"

    After following the procedurest to move the iTunes music, the computer started whirring away, happily copying and consolidating all the song files to the new target folder.
    After copying 68gigs of 130gigs perfectly, it stopped dead and the following iTunes error message appeared:
    "COPYING MUSIC FAILED. THE DISK COULD NOT BE READ FROM OR WRITTEN TO"
    I am copying to an external LaCie 500g hard disk, and the current music file is split between folders on the laptop and folders and a 2nd external LaCie Hard disk. It did not appear to have any problems copying and consolidating files from both locations, until the error message showed up.
    How can I solve this?
    I really need to consolidate this music file.

  • I purchased some music from the store on my iphone, but itunes won't load those tracks into my library!  It comes up with error 36 (the disk could not be read or written to) but I am able to get apps that I have purchased.  What's up with that??

    I have 4 tracks that I purchased from the itunes store, 2 audio and 2 music videos.  I used my iphone to make the purchase.  Unfortunately, when I got home and tried to transfer them to my itunes library, it tells me that the disk can't be read frrom or written to.  This it totally bogus as I am able to download apps that I purchased at the same time as the music. 
    How do I fix this problem without having to totally rebuild the library yet again?

    I'm guessing this is a problem unique to me as there have been no replies at all...  Thanks a bunch folks
