Solaris 8 installation problems

Hello,
I'm trying to install Solaris 2.8 on a Compaq server.
I have the tree cd's downloaded from your site.
config: internal ultra scsi 2 ctrlr with 1 * 18gb H/D
internal ide ctrlr with cd drive and diskette drive
In both ways , i do an update driver to recognize the internal H/D .(F4 menu at first screen)
1.When i tried to boot from Installation cd , I've a message saying : no disks that meet the criteria in the Solaris installer documentation found !! (but the disk is present when i do a format cmd and i don't know which criterias are needed ?
2.When i tried to boot on software cd 1 , i can load the software on the disk, but after that, the installer ask me to put the diskette labeled CPQNCR26350 in the diskette drive .
I put the diskette in the drive (the previously used diskette i use to update drivers at first screen) but the program said : driver cpqncr not on diskette ??
I'm sure it's the correct one .
Can anybody help me ?
Thanks for answer !!

Thanks for answer.
I've tried this m�thod:
1. Booting from dca diskette
2. Updating drivers with DU diskette (cpqncr.itu,smartii;itu,cpqfcs.itu,cpqary2.itu)
3. Continuing using cdrom 1 of 2 in interactive mode.
After that i've the message :
Solaris 8 s/w installation succeeded
Customizing system files --> ok
Customizing system devices --> ok
Installing boot information --> ok
Installing unbundled device driver support
Extracting driver list from tree ..
CPQNCR26350 drv/cpqncr
Please insert the DU diskette labeled CPQNCR26350
Press <ENTER> when ready
... I insert the diskette here ... and --> following message appears :
Driver cpqncr not on diskette
What's wrong ?
The only things I've seen is :
When i've construct the 4 DU diskettes, when QRST5.EXE has been executed to make the 4 disks, the messages on screen was :
Compaq Solaris DU diskette for Solaris 2.6 !!!!! and also in the readme files on DU diskette, 2.6 appears, but these drivers have been take from Solaris 2.8 link !!!
Perhaps it's the reason it doesn't see it as the correct drivers ?
Do you have other link to download the drivers ?
Thanks for your support.

what could be the problem?The installer is actually a self-extracting Zip-archive. It tries to unpack
itself into /var/tmp/something-random, before starting the actual
installation.
If you do not have enough free space in /var/tmp, try creating a temporary
directory somewhere else, move the installer into the new directory, and do
an 'unzip server70..............bin'. Once you have unzipped the installer,
I think you can look in a file called AUTORUN or something for the java
command to run the installer manually.
Good luck,

Installation problems with Solaris 8 on Intel

Howdy,
I am having some problem with my installation of Solaris 8 on Intel. I am installing the system on a P133 (Asus TX97 motherboard). When I first start the installation and perform the system scan I get the following error:
The PnP ISA: IDE Controller programable device was unable to be programmed.
This could be caused by two possible reasons:
- Lack of resouces available
- There is a conflict with the following already-existing device: 8086,7111 - Bus Mastering IDE Controller
When I bring up the View/Edit device settings and I scroll to the IDE controller there is an ! mark beside the PCI IDE controller. The controler is specifying: Bus 0, device: 1, function: 1 port 1F0-1F7, 3F6, 170-177, 376, E000-E00F, 0 IRQ 14, 15
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this conflict? I tried removing the PCI IDE interface and then installing a ISA IDE interfact (for IRQ: 14, IRQ 15 automatically put a PnP IDE controller there). This seemed to resolve the conflict but then I received a: No Bootable devices have been found.
If anyone can help out with how to resolve the conflict, or what the No Bootable Devices have been found error it would be greatly appreciated.
Currently there is a partition set up with NT on it, but I wish to basically get rid of everything on the HD and install Solaris on it. FYI, when I check the HD's in NT it mentions I/0: 1F0-1F7 IRQ 14 and also I/O 170-177 IRQ 15.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Regards,
S.

When I close down Solais in the CDE I am taken back to the logon screen
and I turn the PC off.Don't do that. If you simply turn off the PC, the OS has no chance to
write back cached / modified disk data back to the HDD - this is also the
reason why solaris has to check the filesystems on the next boot and apparently
has to repair filesystem defects.
What you have to do is shutdown the machine, before you can power it off.
Login as user "root" and use the command
init 5
or
halt
"init 5" will shutdown system services, by executing commands from
/etc/rc0.d/K* with argument "stop". Then it'll sync all modified disk blocks to
the HDD, kills all remaining processes and unmounts all filesystems. In this
state it's safe to power off the machine!
"halt" is a quick-and-dirty shutdown. It does not stop system services (the
/etc/rc0.d/K* commands are not run). But, it syncs all modified disk blocks
to the HDD, kills all processes and unmounts all filesystems. "init 5" is preferred,
especially if you have services like a database server running on the machine,
which needs to be cleanly shutdown. On the other hand, with a default solaris
installation and no extra services, a simple "halt" should be OK.
Btw. if multiple users are logged in on the machine, you should also have a look
at the shutdown(1M) command. "shutdown" sends warnings to the logged in
users that the machine is about to be shut down, ...

Glad you're sorted. Can you confirm that it is 4.10.903 you are using

present in the later version.

Bill - that seems to have done the trick! the installation is now running.
Thanks so much for this.I am running a pair of Sun Ray 170's on my desk

Gavin,
This looks like a known problem with TTA 4.00.903 and some Solaris
patches which were distributed at about the same time. However, you say
you're using 4.10.903, and as far as I know the problem should be fixed
in that version.
You could try the workaround described in
http://www.tarantella.com/documentation/sgd/ee/4.0/install.html - search
for "tta_pkgadd" on that page and follow the instructions given there.

My hard disk geometry is....
No type system

Now pls any one help me to get rid of this situation. am trying and trying. but failed all the time.

hi,
Make sure that your network uses DNS naming.
This error occurs when a machine is not correctly configured to use DNS naming. The default fully qualified host and domain name presented during installation is not correct.
To successfully install, you need to provide a fully qualified domain name that consists of a local host name along with its domain name.
for example yoursystem is a host name and yourdomain.com is a fully qualified domain name.

Solaris 10 11/06 installation problem?

hi,
i am new to solaris and just started to install the solaris 10 11/06, the partition for solaris installation is the first primary partition, auto slices was 4,4 GB for /, 1,4 GB for ovarlape,10 GB for /export/home and 500 MB for swap but i customized just for 2 slices one / 14 GB and other swap 660 MB, the installation process completed 100% but then hanged with this error messages:
Installing boot information:
-Updating boot enviroment configuration
-Installing boot blocks (c0d1)
-Installing boot blocks (/dev/rdsk/c0d1s0)
connot open/stat device /dev/rdsk/c0d1s2
ERROR: installboot (1M) failed
ERROR: could not install boot blocks
i pressed the reboot button and got the black screen with this message:
Bad PBR Sig
I wiped the installation again and want to install but waiting for help please:
First what all that error means?
Second where is my installation mistake to solve that?
Third is / and swap enough for installaion or use the auto layout of solairs as i mentioned above?

1-Make the Solaris partion "the only" active partition
2-Boot up the system in single user mode, mount "a"
3-Install solaris grub on mbr (/a/sbin/installgrub -m /a/boot/grub/stage1 /a/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/<slice>) (i like solaris bundled version of grub :) )
before 3, make sure you got the entries for any other operating system/sytems in your active grub's /boot/grub/menu.lst file to be added to solaris's menu.lst file later.
Reboot, edit menu.lst as necessary.
Good luck.

Installation problem on Intel

I have tried to install Solaris 8 on my Dell machine.
I have tried to boot both directly via CD and by using Device Configuration Assistant on a floppy..
The first screen says this....
SunOS Secondary Boot version 3.00
WARNING: ACPI Tables not in Reclaim Memory
prom_panic: kmem_free block already free
Entering boot debugger:
[130ee5]:
and when i hit enter and choose c (continue execution), the m/c hangs and asks me to push ctrl-alt-del to reboot..
I don't know what the ACPI tables are .. and how i can fix this...
Anyone who knows this... please help..
Thanx a lot..

I have heard about the ACPI that may be a Power Managemnet Tools or something, it always be found in Microsoft Window 2000 Device Manager, sorry I can't help you to solve the problems.....because I also have some installation problem on my Intel paltform @_@.

Installation problem on Ultra 10

Hi,
I bought a used Ultra 10 machine, but the person who sold me the machine told me that he has formatted the hard disk.
I need to install Solaris 8 on this machine, I have the correct CD's (Solaris for Sparc) and when I get the OK prompt, I am saying "boot crdom".
When I do this I get an error "wrong magic number", can you please let me know how to overcome this problem.
The configuration of my machine is
Ultra 10
RAM: 512Mb
HDD: 9.1 GB
The next questoin that I have is, whether I can add another Hard drive that can be bought from Best Buy or any other similar store. If YES then, can I use any IDE drive that is available (Example: 30GB Western Digital)
I dont know if Ultra 10's can have any size of hard disk, please give some info on this.
Thanks in advance
Vasanth

When trying to install Solaris and you receive the error "Wrong magic number... " , you do not have a bad disk. Sun hard disks are formatted with a special number at the first part of the disk. If it does not match this number it will spit out a "Wrong magic number..." error. If you receive this error the CD will escape to a make shift shell. From this shell you can run the command format, which will allow you to format your hard drive and place the correct magic number at the beginning of the drive. Reboot the machine and you should be set. The Solaris installer will let your re-partition your drive just as you have done in your previous installations and you should be set.

No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation

Hi all, I have a problem when trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) on my PC. There are some funny things happened while installing the OS.
1.) My motherboard does not support booting from CD-ROM, so I downloaded a Device Assistant Boot Disk to boot it up. Then I use dd.exe to make the boot disk from the image, I have tried many times that after creating the boot disk, this boot disk will contain 512 bytes of bad sector. So why?
2.) After using this boot disk to boot up and install the OS, before entering to the detection of the bus type stuff (still on the white screen), at the bottom of the screen, it says "ata_command select failed ... ...", what does this mean?
3.) When the system go back to the white screen with language selection, I choose English (which is 1), and the system try to find my hard disk, but it failed and says "No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation" with a new line saying "installation documenation found.". So what is happening?
Appreciate for any help.

Did you check that your adaptec scsi controller is
supported by solaris and/or has a working driver
(from sun or adaptec) ?

Please Check the system or try another installation option
then it gives me Unix Prompt , I tried to use FDISK but could not get the right Disk name , I tried FDISK /drv/dsk/c0t0d0s0 or /drv/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

Sun, take responsibility for appserver7 installation problems!

*** First set of problems...
I'm having installation problems on both Solaris 8, (Ultra 480, 1GB RAM, latest recommended patches) and a Windows 2000 Server with SP2 (1GHz P4, 512MB RAM).
I chose default installation directory and then the install
complains that Pointbase 4.2 should be installed into the
same directory etc. Cannot unselect the Sample apps and
Pointbase options.
*** Second problem...
I have an instance previously installed on Windows 2000
Professional with SP2.(1GHz PIII, 512MB RAM, 5GB space)
When i start application server 7.0 , then i get the following
message:
Could not start the instance: domain1:admin-server
Server failed to start:abnormal subprocess termination
Could not start the instance: domain1:server1
Server failed to start: abnormal subprocess termination
Could not start one or more instances in the domain:domain1
Could not start one or more domains
Press any key to continue ...

When you say that you choose the default installation directory and then the installer complained about Pointbase, what platform where you using? Had you already attempted installs in the past or uninstallations that did not complete properly?
For your second issue, did you happen to change the host name of your machine? Try cranking up the log level (edit server.xml) to see what's causing the instances to fail on startup. Did the application ever start up after install? What things did you do just prior to the server exhibiting this behaviour?
