"boot: cannot open /kernel/unix" error

Installing solaris 2.6 on Sparc Ultra 5. I currently have 2.8 installed and I want to install 2.6 over top. Using "OK boot cdrom" I get an error on startup stating "boot: cannot open /kernel/unix". I have found the troubling shooting tip but I don't know how to implement it. It says to "Reset the boot file in the PROM to " " (blank)." I do not know how to do this. Any help would be good.

Hi ,
On OK prompt, use printenv command to check current setting. Use command setenv boot-file "" to change the settings on OK prompt.
This should help you.
Thanks,

Boot: cannot open kernel/unix

Hi ebody!
I have installed a Sol2.5.1 to a new ULTRA5 external SCSI hard drive. The installation was successfull.
I have set the boot device to external hard drive and started the booting.
I have got a message "boot: cannot open kernel/unix" !
All kernel files exist on hard drive, I checked it.
Why couldn't run-up the Sol2.5.1 system? I think this is a Sol2.5.1 HW8.
Does the Sol2.5.1 HW8 work on ULTRA5?
How can I run-up the Sol2.5.1?
Thanks in advance

Ttatsc: cannot open display 'unix:10'

Hi,
in integrated an winxp-"server" (winxp, windows-rdp-application) into SGD v4.40.917
running on fedora-core8. If i log in to SGD and start the application, i got the Error message
shown below.
If i connect via "ssh -X" to the SGD server and run rdesktop to the winxp, all works fine.
Running "xclock"or "xterm (ssh)" via SGD on the SGD-server works also ...
Could somebody help me to track down this problem ?
regards
Danny

After unistalling and downloading again the new error msg says " the file- iTuneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Please help!!!!!!!

"Cannot open document. (Error: INF) Deski docs in WEBI not opening

Our users are receiving the following error within WEBI when oppening DESKI documents. "Cannot open document. (Error: INF). WEBI files open fine, DESKI files do not.
I want to break something.
Any ideas? Many thanks

We are also having the same issue - personal (i.e. my favorite) Webi documents saved prior to today cause the error: Value Cannot be Null (Error:INF). New Webi documents or documents in the corporate repository are functioning properly.
Any ideas on how to fix issue is greatly appreciated.

Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

I cannot open AirPortDevices Unix Executable file it says cannot execute binary file

i cannot open AirPortDevices Unix Executable file. when i try it says cannot execute binary file

If you are wiling to share one of these files via Dropbox, I have a few old Macs floating around that I can use to figure out what files these are, if they are not corrupted during the copying process.
Have you tried OpenOffice or LibreOffice?
If you can see the dates on these files, you can also try looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_word_processors to see what could have been used.
Do you recall the source machine from where these came? You have mentioned Classic II and SE 30.

Cannot open kernel/sparcV9/unix

During my last reboot I get following message:Can't open kernel/sparcv9/unix
ERROR: FCode Aborted.
how to revocer this ?

You will need a Solaris CD that supports the hardware you are trying to boot. Example: A V440 would require a minimum of Solaris 8 7/03 or Solaris 9 12/03. If sucessful, you should be able to fcsk / from the boot cdrom -s without changing root password. If / is mirrored you will have to fsck both primary & mirror or detach any mirrors before booting.

Cannot open Firefox. Error Platform version 1.9.2.15 is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.16 maxVersion =1.9.2.16

Received an update yesterday that turned off Norton before installing itself. Now cannot open Firefox. Get error message.

This issue can happen if the updater wasn't able to update all the files.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

"Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer. I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
Extraction Failed
Cannot Open Output File
And the process closes. It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
Any idea why? I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support?? Poor, poor customer service.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
If you haven't still got the Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop. If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
Download and install 7-ZIP. Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ). Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

If running 64 bit Windows did you install PSE8 in Program Files (X86) rather than Program Files?
What actually happened whilst running the disk?
Were there any other messages or log report?
