Can't install Solaris 8 on SPARC 20

Trying to install from a cdrom I get the following message:
(Can't deduct panicbuf from physical memory list) Program Terminated
Any help to this Sun/Solaris novice will be appreciated.

There is some minimum requirements on the system for S8 installation.
For example, 64M RAM, 1G of Hard Disk, etc.
Please check S8 minimum requirements first in the manual.
In reference to the actuall error, I cant say what it means. But at
what point of installation do you get this error ?
Thx

  • SPARC v240 can i install Solaris 10 and free Radius proxy software?

    On a SPARC v240 can i install Solaris 10 and free Radius proxy software?

    No, the patch was created on top of Solaris 10 packages. The patchadd utility requires that the VERSION strings match between the installed package's pkginfo file and the pkginfo files inside the patch. Unless the base package did not change between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10, the patch will not get applied because of the VERSION mismatch. But it is very unlikely that the packages did not change between the two releases.
    Even if you were to be able to install it, there could be dependencies that the patch's binaries have on other Solaris 10 binaries.

  • Needed help in Installing Solaris 10 on sparc box from windows remotely

    Hi All,
    I have few Sun Ultra Sparc boxes. I m accessing them only through putty session(serail port) from my windows system.
    Now there is a need for me to install Solaris 10 in the sparc box. But the sparc box doesn't have any DVD drive. I have an external DVD drive.
    Can somebody help me out to install Solaris on the sparc box with the components I have.
    1) Windows system with putty
    2) External DVD drive
    3) Sun sparc box.
    Thanks for your help,
    T.R.Santhosh

    If you run into a problem that causes the machine not to boot, you can't interact with it via putty. You'd need a physical connection, usually either the keyboard and screen or a serial connection. I would always plan to be able to do so during an upgrade.
    If you have sufficient disk space, the easiest thing to do would be to copy over the DVD iso, then mount it up with lofi, and do a live upgrade.
    Windows doesn't read rockridge format disks. I would worry that having the windows machine read the ISO filesystem and send the files over would cause name issues. That's why getting the full ISO and mounting it locally on the Sparc is best. Fortunately, it doesn't require a physical drive.

  • We can't install Solaris 8 - IBM PC SERVER 315

    Hello:
    We are trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) (02/02) in an IBM PC Server 315.
    Some words about it:
    - 128 Mb RAM
    - Pentium Pro 200 Mhz
    - Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW Ultra SCSI in PCI bus1,Slot 4 (Info from Solaris install) (Target 7)
    - Hard Disk IBM SCSI (Target 0)
    - CD-Rom SCSI IBM CDRM00203 (Target 6 of SCSI) (info from Solaris install)
    We have a big problem.
    We can't install Solaris from CD.
    After Loading kernel , when it begins Searching /dev and /devices...we see this text in the screen repeated a lot of times:
    WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1011,24@2/pci9004,8178@1(adp0):
    timeout: abort device, target=6 lun=0
    And before this something like it has some problem and begins a resinc ??
    Please Could you help us?
    Solaris has been purchased from Sun on 12 March 2002
    A lot of Thank's!
    P.D: Please, excuse my poor English.
    A lot of thank's.

    two other severs wouldn't run the cd either? Break it down a little it will be more solvable. We will create two separate problems with this. First we will check the cd disk itself. Put in another system and install solaris. If that works, move to the cdrom drive....move it to the same computer you just installed solaris on...if it works then it is another problem.

  • Help! Can'i install Solaris 9 on Dell Laptitude LS

    Can'i install Solaris 9 on Dell Laptitude LS. Setting of video card and monitor fail.
    My configuration is:
    P3 450
    128MB
    MagicMedia 256 AV video and sound card.
    Monitor unknown with 800*600 resolution.
    Anyone has idea about that. Thanks!

    Yes, OS 9 is PPC architecture only. The only way I can think of that you could possibly run it would be to download PearPC (A PPC architecture emulator-http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/) off of Windows (which is officially unsupported on Apple machines to begin with), and then attempt to run OS 9 off of PearPC.
    The program is rather slow, and as you can see, the process is really quite time consuming, illogical (three different systems, one running in emulation), and definitely not worth the end result.
    Good Luck,

  • Install Solaris 8 on SPARC system

    Hi,
    I'm new in Unix/Solaris. I tried to install solaris 8 on a sparc system, I downloaded (SOL-8-1_01-FCS-BIN-SPARC-V1 and V2) and i burned 2 CD as. On the sparc system is already SUNOS 5.6 installed. But each time I tried to boot the system it "hang" after the message:" starting rpc services: rcpbind keyserv nis_cachemgr done." What ever I type after this message has no effect at all. I'm allowed to format the disk (home user). The CD-rom player is attached to the Sparc but can not boot the CD. Is there anyone who can help me.
    I downloaden olso the pdf files but they were no use for me at this moment.

    Hello,
    you will have to go to OK prompt and then boot with CDROM.
    1.login as root and then type
    #eeprom auto-boot?=false
    2.reboot the system. the system will stop at the OK prompt.
    3. then type:
    OK boot cdrom install
    you should see Solaris install program and follow its instruction.
    And the error you see seems to be caused by bad network connection

  • Can't install Solaris 10 on Parallels

    I want to use Solaris 10 to develop applications, but I want to keep Windows. I thought about using Parallels. I bought and installed it, and I downloaded all of the 5 Solaris 10 for x64 iso's. I am trying to install it on Parallels, with the guest OS selected as Solaris 10 (of course), and I am setting it to boot from the first disc ISO. I get these following screens- the Parallels start screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/0.jpg ), followed by the Solaris boot screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/1.jpg ). Then I select Solaris, and get the following screens- (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/2.jpg ). Then, the underscore at the end is replaced by the text "Detecting Devices", and then a whole bunch of text pops up on the screen which goes down to the bottom, and this is the ending screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/3.jpg ). After that, from the Solaris 10 installation instructions, it says I should get another option screen, but it just returns to the Parallels start screen that we got in the beginning. The whole set of screens then starts again. I have selected the other Solaris boot options, but with the same result. I am using the x64/x86 CD's, and I have tried the SPARC CD's without it even recognizing it as a boot CD.
    As an ending note, I know in the screenshots it looks like I have Windows Vista, but I am running Windows XP SP2 with some design changes to make it look like Vista.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance, and if there is any other information I can give you, I would be happy to oblige.

    Hi, I had a similar problem when I tried to Install Solaris X86 on an HP Proliant DL586g2. You'll probably find the problem Is that you need to Install some drivers first to enable the Installation. If you need more specific details I can probably find a guide on how to do this. But I'm certain It Is possible to run Solaris on the Dell It just might take a bit of perseverance.
    Good luck

  • Can I install solaris on a second hard drive?

    I am completely new to Solaris. My computer runs Windows XP as its primary OS and I have a second (slave) hard drive that I would like to install Solaris 10 on. Does the installation DVD for x64 architecture automatically handle this kind of installation? Is this process possible? If it is, will I have to manually configure the BIOS to boot each OS every time I change my current OS, or will some sort of GUI dialogue come up? I would like information on this subject and if possible, step-by-step instructions.

    Tottaly agree with the last post. Check if your hardware is in HCL, there is a free program you can download from Sun Download page, you burn it to CD and reboot, then it will provide you with all needed information. And if something is not in the list, you will get a hard time seting it up (there are a lot of unofficial drivers). So as an example: networkcard will be hard to install and set up. So check first.
    As from my experiense conserning instalation, I would suggest to do so:
    (in a way as the last post)
    prepare a clean partition, or backup files on a HD. run the instalation, once you will reach the point when it will ask you how to install (Normal or Custom) choose custom, then it will go to several questions concerning where on a HD to install, thats where you can choose partitions and so on.
    Just as a reminder: you dont need alot of space for Solaris to work properly, plus there not so much software which requires big amount of HD. So for OS and nice package for development you will probably need tops 10Gb.

    Hi Jarosław,
    This is a bug - thanks for pointing it out to us.

  • CAN I INSTALL SOLARIS 10 INTEL PLATFORM ON MY PC

    Can anybody guide me whether i can install solaris 10 intel platform on my pc having following configuration
    1. Processor = AMD SEMPRON 2500+ 64-BIT.
    2. MainBoard = ASUS K8V-MX.
    3. RAM-= 512 MB DDR PC3200
    4. Display = Onboard VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP.
    5. LAN = Onboard VIA RHINE II Fast Ethernet Adapter.
    6. Monitor = 17" LG CRT, Model = Studioworks 700S
    7. Sony DVD- ROM.
    8. Samsung DVD-RW.
    9. HDD = 40 GB Samsung 7200 RPM.
    If anybody knows let me know at my e-mail [email protected]

    I don't think you will have many problems in this platform, but I'm not 100% sure.
    What I recommend you is to get the VMWare and try there. VMWare is a software where you can create a virtual machine running under windows. In this virtual machine you could install solaris 10 (and any other OS you want to test in your computer). I have my Solaris 10 running under VMWare with excellent results (Laptop with Intel Celeron processor)... where I have VMWare installed in Windows!

  • Can't install Solaris 10 on DELL VOSOTRO 200 ?

    Hi All,
    I am new to SOLARIS, and wanted to play with it.
    I tried to install Solaris 10 ON dell VOSOTRO 200 and it does not install at all. It gets stuck at the very first place. I tried open solaris and Solaris in all different ways, CD/DVD/USB.
    I used the same CD/DVD in Emachine and they get install just fine. Is solaris not compatible to DELL VOSOTRO? Or am I doing something wrong ?
    Any answer would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Envrionment

    Thanks,

    Hi, I had a similar problem when I tried to Install Solaris X86 on an HP Proliant DL586g2. You'll probably find the problem Is that you need to Install some drivers first to enable the Installation. If you need more specific details I can probably find a guide on how to do this. But I'm certain It Is possible to run Solaris on the Dell It just might take a bit of perseverance.
    Good luck
