Cannot boot Solaris 11.1 Live Media for x86

Hi,
if I boot from Live-CD (burned "sol-11_1-live-x86.iso"), it comes:
---begin---
atapi_id_upate: select failed
ata_command: select failed DRY 0x1 CMD 0xef F 0x66 N 0x0 S 0x0 H 0x0 CL 0x0 CH 0x0
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1002,43a0@15/pci-ide@0/ide@1 (ata1):
timeout: abort request, target=1 lun=0
---end---
Any hints?
Thanks!

Any hints?Have you checked that the disc is actually readable by the CD drive which you use for booting? Perhaps it may help to use a USB stick to boot Solaris.
Kind regards,

Satellite P cannot boot from CD & PXE-E61 Media Test failure

No bootable CD in ATAPI - CD ROM message on power up.
Also displays PXE-E61 Media Test failure, check cable. PXE - M0F: exiting PXE ROM.
Bad feeling about this.
Can you confirm my worst suspicions please.

Hi
In most cases the HDD is dead and you will need to replace this.
The PXE Media Test failure message appears because the unit ties to boot from LAN.
I think you tried to boot from the disk but the disk was not readable and the unit switched to HDD.
But the HDD is not bootable and therefore the notebook tries to boot from LAN.

Lenovo G450 cannot boot !!

Hi everybody,
I need some help with my laptop Lenovo G455.
A few days ago I cannot boot. I try reboot again for a few times and it started and worked fine till this morning.
Now I cannot boot anymore.... When I push the button the power led goes on, fan starts running, but
there is no hard drive activity, screen in black.... I cannot pass POST or acces bios...
I pushed the system recovery button and had the same result.... no boot.
I tried to reset it, leaving it without battery and plug connection for a while,
than pressing the button for 30 seconds, many times, than connecting plug and push button.
Nothing happened...Desconnected the hard drive ... nothing...
   what'up with it ???
How can I reset it and make it boot?
Please someone help me fix it !!!!
Thanks guys !!!

hi Lisa12,
I'm sorry to hear on what happened with your computer,
        This seemed to be a POST Issue
    POST will check Main Components of the computer like
              System Board
              Processor
              RAM(Memory)
              HDD
              GPU
      and it will not continue if one component is not responding correctly.
Here are Few things you can try
> Try it without the Hard Drive, BIOS will still be accessible with F2.
> Try just 1 Memory(RAM) card at a time and try that to all the Memory slot of the computer
     Try cleaning the Memory pin connectors you can follow this post
> Try an external display to isolate Display Issue
If all this Did not work I would suggest calling Technical Support  for assistanceto have the Mainboard Checked
    Might be an Issue with the Processor, GPU or the Mainboard itself.
Hope this helps,

Installed flash disk does not boot (Solaris 10 on Fore CPU-50 VME cpu-card)

Greetings,
After installation of Solaris on a system with a flask disk as system disk, the disk is not bootable.
Configuration:
System: Fore CPU-50 VME cpu-card (sparc50)
OS: Solaris 10 (Sparc version, CD-media)
System-disk: ADTRON S35FA-8GC20N Smart Storage 3.5 SCSI Flash pack.
          (configured as c0t1d0)
Error message at boot:
Cant read disk label
Cant open disk label package
When I mount the installed disk on another system I can read and inspect the flash disk.
The logging files begin.log, finish.log and install_log in the /var/sadm/system/logs/ directory dont mention any errors during installation phase.
The logging file /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log begins with:
Configuring disk
-     Creating Solaris disk label (VTOC)
Creating and checking UFS filesystems
-     Creating / (c0t1d0s0)
-     etc.
This install_log file ends with:
Installing boot information
-     Installing boot blocks (c0t1d0s0)
-     Updating system firmware for automatic rebooting
How can I make this flash disk bootable?
Thanks,
Herm

It's a G3 with the integrated 5 i Smart array
controller. There are driver updates for Sol 10 on
the HP side. Just filter for OS. There you get the 5i
driver !
greets
D@veI searched the HP site, but wasn't able to find the driver for Solaris 10. Could you give me the url? I did find links for drivers for Solaris 8 & 9 though.
Thanks,

Cannot install solaris 8 for intel

i boot a machine which has a AIC 7899 card using install CD,
then choose add driver using a floppy made by downloaded
ultra160 driver floppy image. the SCSI card and a hard drive
thus can be found and i make two partitions,about 1G and 5G
respectively, a swap space about 8G(my machine has 1G
RAM, 17G hard drive, PIII 1000MHz). it all seems ok. but after
it copys files to disk and prepare to reboot it reports "waning:
/temp: file system full, swap space limit exceed...............
warning:no swap space to grow stack......" then it returns to
command line and just stops there. if i reboot using init 6 the
machine cannot boot from the boot partition saying cannot find boot.bin. in addition, every time i create partitions and reboot, there will be another small active boot partition. besides, the sum of the space of two partitions and the swap space seems to be larger than the disk space. so, that's what i meet with. can someone give me a hand?
thanks
james

You should be using the partition utility that runs during the install. This is easiest. Make sure you have a large swap space. Usually swap space is about 2 time larger than total RAM. But in your case, you may not want it that large.
If you are using only solaris on the computer, then format the entire hard drive as a solaris drive.
Then you can split up the drive into partitions, and here is where you can decide swap disk space.
During the install, when it asks you:
say yes to all loyout file systems on disks
partition the disk in the following manner
(just a suggestion)
swap
/usr
/usr/local
/var
/opt
/tmp
/export/home (The rest of the HD)
Hope that helps,
~James

Capture Card for Flash Live Media Encoder

Hello,
I need help finding the best capture card for the flash live media encoder. Any suggestions?

The problem you have is that your game and FMLE are competing for CPU time. Running FMLE is very CPU-intensive because of the work of encoding video. When FMLE consumes all your CPU there is nothing left to run the game. Instead of cropping I would suggest that you change your monitor resolution to 1280x720 (this is still HD, just not 1080 "full HD"). Increasing the screen size then cropping it back down is just another task you are throwing at the CPU that it can't cope with.

Cannot boot from Recovery CD - Error: PXE-E61: Media test failure

Recovery CD ( winXP home edtion ) can't boot the Toshiba satellite A40 Model# PSA40E-0EWDE-AR (SA40-261) Whenever I try to Boot From recovery cd I get this Error :
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
but when I boot from any other cd (windows ME, WIN 2K, WIN XP Pro...) everything is ok.
Any Clue? Help me please
Thanks
Mesha

Hi
It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

My MacBook cannot resolve the alias when attempting to connect to LAN wired devices (WD Live Media Centre), and says operation can't be comp-leted because the original item can't be found.???

I have 2 WD Live Media Centre devices hard-wired on my LAN. My MacBook can find these devices on the network, but when it tries to access the USB drive which is attached to the media centres, a message says the Mac it "resolving the alias to USB drive", but then says operation can't be completed because the roiginal item (USB Drive) can't be found. My PC, which is also hard-wired on the network, has no problem accessing these USB drives. Is there some adjustment I need to make?

Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
Go Utilities > Disk Utility
Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
I hope this help.

Cannot reach live chat for a Photosmart 7520 connection issue

I am trying to reach live chat for a connection issue which I dealt with last week with my Photosmart 7520. I have case number and my printer is under warrenty.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Problem booting Solaris 10 on ProLiant server after installation.

Hi all!
I have a brand new HP ProLiant DL360 G5 server. It contains 6 internal
hard drives. RAID 5 is configured on these drives using built-in HP
Smart Array P400i controller. I've just installed Solaris 10 8/07 on this
server. Solaris requires a driver for P400i controller. I'm using Driver
Update CD created from HP provided ISO image. Solaris 10 is
officially supported OS for DL360 G5 server.
Installation proceeds as expected:
1) At the begining of Solaris installation, Driver Update is used to
load HP driver for raid controller. During installation, disk is
recognized as c1d0t0 (the only disk in system); one partition is
created on this disk.
2) Disk is devided to 6 slices:
c1d0t0s0 - swap, 4GB
c1d0t0s1 - /, cca 32GB
c1d0t0s[3,4,5,6] - /zones/[a,b,c,d] - each cca 160GB
3) At the end of installation, CPQary3 driver is installed to target
system without any errors reported. No errors are reported during
installation at all.
After reboot, GRUB is started. It shows boot menu containing two
options:
- Solaris 'normal' boot
- failsafe boot
PROBLEM: Selecting 'normal' boot leads to immediate system restart.
According to documentation, this case occurs when PCQary3
driver is not installed.
I'm able to boot using 'failsafe' option in grub. After entering single
user, I load PCQary3 driver to runtime using 'install-du' command.
I'm also able to find instaled Solaris using 'install-recovery' and mount
its root volume to /a directory. Necessary driver IS installed inside
/a/kernel/drv/ directory. Options 'bootpath' in /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
file is set up correctly pointing to device associated with /dev/dsk/c1d0t0s1
device. Also GRUB is able to recognize UFS filesystem for boot partition.
I've already tried (without success):
1) Use RAID 1+0 instead of RAID5
2) Create only 3,5GB partition instead of 700GB large one.
3) Place / on c1d0t0s0 instead of c1d0t0s1.
4) Re-create boot archive using 'bootadm update-archive -R /a'
So, everything seems to be installed correctly, but system cannot boot.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem?
Jozef

Sounds like an issue I just had with a brand new X4150, installation and failsafe worked fine, but normal booting led to immediate reboot of the server. This was due to an incompatibility of solaris and intel's newest generation xeon chips.
You can still boot 'normal' solaris in 32-bit mode:
hit 'e' at the grub menu, 'e' again to edit the 'normal' boot entry and add 'kernel/unix' after multiboot. This should boot up solaris in 32-bit mode. From there, download and install the latest patch set (125370-06 and 127112-05 are fixing this issue). After that you should be fine.

Kernel Panic / G4 dp500 / Cannot boot currently

Machine Config:
10.4.8
G4 DP500
1.5 gigs ram.
Internal ATA133 PCI controller card (Sonnet)
Four internal hard drives. My current 4-drive configuration:
Three 200 gig drives are connected to the internal ATA133 sonnet card, and out of those three, just one was made to be bootable with 10.4.8.
The fourth drive (160gig) is connected to the on-board ata33 connector, and is bootable with 10.3.9 on it. Presently I cannot boot from either drive
I installed the Sonnet ata133 card three months ago to expand the drive capacity. I wanted to "see" hard drives larger than 127 gigs, which is the limit if using the onboard ata33.
Everything has been working fine for 3 to 4 months after I installed the Sonnet card, and three internal drives. But about three days ago, my computer was hard-frozen when I went to use it. No mouse movement etc. When I rebooted, I received the Kernel panic black screen with its resulting verbosity.
I had a spare internal drive laying around that was preconfigured with an OS on it. So fearing the Kernel panic was from the Sonnet controller card, I installed my spare drive to connect from the mother board ata33 connector. I was then able to boot from my spare. after that I was able to repair my boot drive that was attached to my Sonnet card. The one that was initially corrupted by the Kernel panic.
After rebooting successfully to m, I decided to leave my spare boot drive attached the on-board ata33 connecter (just in case the kernel panic happened again)
Well, it did happen again. And now I can't even boot from my spare now. Its as if the kernel panic is destroying the directories of my boot drives!
Specifically the volume header wraps.
In addition, I can't even boot from Disk Warrior or my OSX install disk. The screen just hangs at grey. So, I have no more spare boot drives available, and I cannot boot from cd/dvd. The cd/dvd drive is attached to the internal on-board ata33 like my spare is.
I know that heat will often cause a hard freeze. But will it also cause kernel panics upon reboot?
As it stands now:
When ever I try to reboot, a black screen will display unix command line text describing kernel panic and the last line is"
"Panic: we are hanging here."
This seems like a hardware issue. But why are my boot directories becoming corrupted? At this point, maybe its over heating. I have four drives now stuffed into the G4 with ribbon cables all over the place and a vent fan installed into one of the unused PCI slots.
I haven't installed any new hardware lately.
I upgraded to 10.4.8 and the panic still happens.
I have 30gigs of itunes, 20gigs of iphotos, 40gigs of imovies, 10 gigs of mail, etc. My back up system was using SuperDuper to copy my USER folder to another internal drive, so I know I have a backup, It's just that I cannot access it. If I can recover my data, I'm going to go out and buy a G5, transfer my data, and be done with it. If I can't recover my data, then I will be forced to live a life of quiet desperation. My wife will leave me if I've lost her itunes collection
BTW, what is a good program to back up to 8.5 gig DVD's? Can I make large 20gig .DMG files and segment then into 8.5 gig portions? I no longer want to rely on internal backup. I would feel better knowing that my back were on dvd's locked in my fire safe. When did I become so dependant on computers?!

Cannot boot into Windows XP, should I replace hard drive?

THE PROBLEM: I have not been able to boot into or use Windows XP (SP2) for almost 3 years. I have been using Linux instead for 3 years and am using it now. The Windows Recovery process only half works, it works up until you have to boot up the computer from the hard drive. Then it no longer works. The computer will load the files from the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD that came new with the computer onto the hard drive. But when you get to the point of booting off the hard drive, with newly added Windows & Toshiba files, nothing happens. It does not boot up into Windows XP. In fact I can see the newly added Windows & Toshiba fileson the hard drive when I boot into Linux (Live) off the hard drive.
THE HARD DRIVE (Specs below): I ran a SMART Data check using a Linux (Ubuntu) Disk utility on the hard drive and it passed everything except for Reallocated Sector Count. There are 20 bad sectors. I called the Toshiba 800 # on the DVD and they told me that the problem may be the hard drive. A new TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD costs $40. Toshiba also said there is no Windows XP Recovery Console on the DVD.
CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: I think, and TOSHIBA agreed it is either the hard drive or corrupteD files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: I have found a couple of sites that seem to have instructions for making a Windows XP Recovery Console CD. And I have thought I might try to run some Windows XP Recovery Console commands from such a CD, such as fixboot, fixmbr, etc. The try to see if I can boot into Windows XP from the hard drive. If I can, then that might suggest he problem is corrupted files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD. If I still cannot boot into Windows, then maybe I should replace the hard drive. This should be very easy to do.
QUESTION(S): Does anybody have any comments or suggestions? Does my approach sound good? Do you have any other suggestions?
I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L25 S1216 that I bought new in early 2006. It has a 40 GB (5400 RPM) Enhanced IDE (ATA-6) 9.5 mm height hard disk drive in it. User removable, i.e., it is easy to replace.
Thank you,
Bob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My plan is to try to use the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD to load the WIndows XP files onto the hard drive, then use the Windows XP Recovery console CD I downloaded from here
http://www.proposedsolution.com/downloads/download-windows-recovery-console/
by using commmands such as fxmbr, fixboot, etc to see if I can get the computer to boot up into Windows XP.
Good plan, Bob!
Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users
A backup plan would be to obtain a Windows XP installation CD from eBay or wherever. They are super cheap now. Then you could install Windows clean and add the drivers and utilities from the website here. Or you could use it to repair-install Windows.
How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install
You are entitled to activate Home Edition for free. I understand that even after Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP (in April), they will honor activation attempts.
I wouldn't mess with SSDs. And stick with IDE PATA drives. You won't need to worry about advanced-format technology since that didn't come along until the very recent SATA drives. Your BIOS should support 120GB (KB303013). Some here.

Win 7 pro installed on hp touchsmart 320-1030, the machine cannot boot from installation DVD. Assist

I have installed Win 7 professional on hp touchsmart 320-1030 with an OEM DVD to overwrite Win 7 premium preinstalled from factory.
I want to reboot the machine with the same DVD after completing the installation, to test for possibility of reimage in case of crash. Although in bios, I specify cd\dvd as firts boot media, the machine cannot boot from installation DVD. I have 20 machines that behave this way. Can anyone assist?
Note: I had to delete all partitions on the PC before doing a fresh installation of Win 7 pro as Premium can not joing domain.

Hello,
So, you installed Window 7 Pro with a DVD, you boot with it to install the O.S, and now it does not work?
Have you tried to load the BIOS default values or even updating the BIOS?
If it had work before, cant understand why it does not work now...
Let me know.

Can't boot Solaris 10 during installation

I am stuck up with a petty problem while booting Solaris 10 1/06 from the installation CD no.1. The GRUB boot loader appears fine, but when I try to boot the Solaris kernel and module, a message appears
Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
My x86 computer's configuration is as follows:
Intel Pentium 4 processor 2.83 GHz
RAM 128 MB
HD 80GB
I can't figure out whether the problem is really due to insufficient memory or do I need to install more RAM on my platform.Can someone help me out with this?

128mb is plenty of memory. No it isn't plenty of memory. Solaris 10 Update 1 or Solaris Express needs at least
256mb of memory. The initial root ramdisk that is loaded from the CD/DVD
uncompresses to ~ 128mb already, leaving no space for the SunOS kernel on a
system with only 128mb of memory!

Where can i find solaris 11 SUNWscpux package. needed for netbackup

i am installing netbackup master/media server on solaris 11 11/11 sparc. i need to backup an exchange 2010 server using GRT recovery. this depends on a netbackup process on the solaris side called, nbfsd. this process will not start because it is looking for
librpcsos.so.1. as you can see below when i try to run it by hand:
nbfsd -d -v 5 -j 123 -B rgex03_123456789
ld.so.1: nbfsd: fatal: librpcsoc.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
from what i can tell this library is included in the SUNWscpux package which is the old /usr/ucblib and /usr/ucb/bin stuff.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/816-5173/librpcsoc-3libucb.html
i cannot seem to find this package on the solaris 11 installation iso i downloaded.
does anyone know where i can find this package? i know netbackup shouldn't be linking against this obsolete package that is probably going away soon but i need to get this up and running.
thanks in advance for any help.

i figured out how to get the ucb compatibility package installed on solaris 11 and now netbackup is happy.
i searched the solaris 11 package site at:
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/en/index.shtml
for the library that was misssing and saw the package name is:
compatibility/ucb
the command:
pkg install compatibility/ucb
installed the package for me.
