ACPI problem, dell 4100 install, senthikumar's solution

I have had this problem while booting up from the solaris 8 boot diskette:
ACPI tables not in reclaim memory.
prom_panic: kmem_free block already free.
Entering boot debugger:
Another had this same issue and the solution from Senthikumar of Tech Support was to:
Disable ACPI by either:
eeprom acpi-user-options=0x2
OR
editing the /boot/solris/bootenv.rc file and adding the line:
setprop acpi-user-opttions 0x2
I did the latter of the two with the boot diskette and it made no difference. The problem still is the same. I would like to also try the former solution (eeprom) but I have no idea where or how to enter this command.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Andy

Hi Senthil,
The real problem with Andy is that he can't install the Dell 4100 System with Solaris 8 not booting the machine after installation. And that's understood from his mail. But you are giving the solution after installing Solaris on the system.
"eeprom commands are access through single user mode or multi user mode.
Example:
# eeprom acpi-user-options=0x2"
I you don't know and not able to solve the exact problem don't try to give some stupid solution and escape from that.
Since Jan 2001, I am also experiencing the same problem from the solution providers!!

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

    Apps will not open after ios5 install.  Any solutions?

    My husband had the same problem with some apps after I updated his iPad 2 to iOS 5.  I checked the app store and there were updates for the apps to support the new software.  After updating, all apps work just fine.

  • A problem is after install update december 10, 2014

    A problem is after install update december 10, 2014  UAC settings says unknown publisher , troubleshooting not working, when I want to change any setting it says unknown publisher , windows defender not starting etc

    Hi
    vijay ,
    Have you tried the solution provided by
    Winword Exonar ? Does it work? Any feedback would be appreciate?
    If this is not the cause, then I would suggest you return to a previous point with system restore. or simply uninstall the updates december 10, 2014 , then check if issue persists, we should first find out whether one update included in is the culprit.

  • Problem trying to install XP via Boot Camp, computer almost died

    Hi there,
    I just recently purchased a 24" 2.8Ghz intel iMac 500GB harddrive with OS X 10.5.2. I plugged everything together yesterday morning and the computer was going fine, just liek a dream. On a side note I was genuinely impressed with the ease of setting up and how quick, intuitive and reliable the mac and OS X Leopard was.
    This is a bit long but I think I need to go into detail what happened in order for any of you to fully understand what happened to my mac.
    Later in the afternoon I decided to install Win XP via Boot Camp. I knew that XP SP2 or later and VISTA was recommended but I decided to use my XP Home Edition "2002 version" install disc instead.
    I opened up the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned 15GB of the 500GB harddrive, inserted WinXP install disc and the computer restarted with everything going to plan thus far. I was going through the install process as normal but I came to a window asking which partition to use to install XP ("c" or "d") or if I wanted to create another partition. I also had my iPod still connected to the computer and I think the installation recognised that harddrive too (all 12GB of space left on my iPod). I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to quit the install process by pressing the relevent keys ("press F3 to quit" etc). Upon automatically restarting the computer I first came to a white screen for about1 or so minutes and then a black screen came up with white text asking me to "press any key to 'something' the CD" (can't remember what the rest of the text was), but the keyboard was unresponsive. I turned the computer off and unplugged it as according to the instruction manual that came with the mac, waited the suggested 5-6 seconds, turned it back on but I came across the same screens. I couldn't eject the XP install disc either. I restarted the computer again, held down the eject button whilst restarting, the disc thankfully ejected but I then came across the same black screen but with no text, just a white flashing underscore cursor. I decided to remove my iPod and restart the computer again. AGAIN I came across the same white screen, then black screen with the flashing white underscore cursor and unresponsive keyboard. I decided to insert the OS X install disc 1 (I don't remember if I inserted it whilst at the black screen or if I restarted the computer and THEN inserted the OS X install disc). The disc loaded slowly but I eventually went through the install process (choosing your language) and then came across a window asking me "Where would you like to install OS X?" but I couldn't install it anywhere. I opened "disk utility" or some program with the word "disk" in it, had no idea what I was doing, somehow created a new volume (though I thought I was actually erasing the XP partition I set up earlier) but in MS-DOS FAT Format or something. I then was able to choose a place (or volume) to install OS X but I had to change the format of the untitled volume from FAT to something along the lines of "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" (whatever that means). There were other format options available but I just chose the top one on the list (Mac OS X journaled (enabled)). I then made a full install of OS X 10.5.2 and late last night downloaded the latest pdate for Leopard (10.5.4) along with other updates. The computer is working fine now thankfully andeverything seems to be back to normal.
    I just want to know what actually happened. What did happen to my computer? Did I somehow wipe the harddrive? Why didn't the computer reboot to HDD when I ejected the WinXP install disc? Which format is the HDD formatted to? What does "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" mean? Also how come my HDD is 500GB whereas when I checked Boot Camp Asistant a second time (but not installing Win XP again) My HDD is 460GB with 440GB of available space? Is there still another partition I am unable to see? Is there an extra 40GB of data floating around the harddrive that I'm unaware of? What are the factory settings for my computer? I really hope I haven't formatted the disk and installed the OS to settings that weren't like how the computer was originally set BEFORE I regrettably tried to install WinXP via Boot Camp.
    If anyone could respond or give me some sort of advice, explanation or help I would very much appreciate your assistance.
    Cheers.

    According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BootCamp_%28software%29#Other_operatingsystems
    Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
    But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
    Cheers.

    16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What happened?what do I do now??????? Help!

    Note that you don't have a Mac Pro as stated. Your profile says you have a MacBook Pro. Please clarify as they are entirely different computers. If nothing below works for you, then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Installing the HCA Solution Accelerator - issue with SNC Deploy

    Hello Everyone -
    I am trying to install the HCA Solution Accelerator, and I am having an issue with the "ant deploy" of the Selection and Capture building block.
    I have configured the ~snc_1_0\install\ant.properties file, but I think I may have missed a setting somewhere because I am getting this build error:
    BUILD FAILED
    C:\Adobe\SolutionAccelerators\human-capital-application.1.0\sa\building_blocks\snc_1_0\ins tall\build.xml:113: The following error occurred while executing this line:
    C:\Adobe\SolutionAccelerators\human-capital-application.1.0\sa\building_blocks\snc_1_0\dep loyer\build.xml:107: The following error occurred while executing this line:
    C:\Adobe\SolutionAccelerators\human-capital-application.1.0\sa\building_blocks\snc_1_0\dep loyer\build.xml:91: Java returned: 1
    Does anyone know off-hand what would cause this particular error?
    I am relatively confident in the path information that I have set for the j2eejar, junit.jar, lcsdk, lc.install.dir as well as the database driver and connection settings.
    I am using a simple turnkey LiveCycle install on a Windows XP OS.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance,
    Ben Lyons
    *I have attached the entire Build output from the command line as a text attachment in case anyone is interested

    Well, I found a "fix" to this issue - I am just going to post it here in case anyone else encouters a similar issue.
    Apparently, it relates to some sort of error in build.xml file in the ~\snc_1_0\deployer folder.
    The particular line that was causing the build to fail was line 91 of this file, which looks like this:
    <target name="data-purge">
    Line 91 -->            <java classname="com.adobe.solutions.snc.utils.DatabaseExporter" failonerror="false" fork="true"
    classpathref="hibernate.setup.path">
                                                    <jvmarg value="-Dhibernate.bytecode.provider=javassist"/>
                                        <arg line="create-drop ${dist.dir}/hibernate-test.cfg.xml ${database.driver.class} ${database.connection.url} ${database.username} ${database.password}"/>
                                    </java>
                    </target>
    The "failonerror" attribute is by default set to "true", thus an error was occurring, so the build was set to fail.  I changed this to false so that I could build this building block, but doing so has filled me with trepidation that something isn't going to be writing to my database correctly.
    Does anyone know what a failure in this segment of this build.xml file means as far as the built SNC building block?  (Remember this is the build.xml file in the deployer folder and not the install folder).
    In other words - does this mean I should be expecting some kind of lingering error in this building block - and if so, what would that issue most likely be so that I can keep an eye out for it?
    -Ben

    My problem started after installing "smartsync app" which is supposed to sync my phone with the profilepage photos of my friends in facebook. All my apps crashed after using them for awhile.While using my apps, they will black out after a little while and the phone returns to the starting page. I have removed the smartsync app but my phone still behaves the same way. At the same time the dates that accompany my messages changed to another language. How can these be rectified?

    Eek.  Sounds like something in the app caused some serious software issues.  You can try a hard reset, but I'd imagine you're probably going to have to do an iTunes restore to get it running right again.

  • I upgraded Safari in my Mac (10.6.8 Leopard) but the new version does not work with my system so that I now have not a working browser. How can I solve the problem and/or install back my previous Safari version?

    I have upgraded Safari in my Mac, but the new Safari does not work with my system. So I find myself without any working browser. How can I solve this problem and/or install my previous Safari version?

    Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
    But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
    While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.
