Cannot install Solaris 10 10/09 on Dell T310

Dell T310 with KVM, install does not recognize pci:
WARNING: hubdi: cannot attach /pci@0, 0/pci1028, 2a4@ld/hub@1
as a result once the installer get to the graphics page requesting keyboard type, nothing works. I'm relatively new to newer versions of Solaris. Am I missing something or is there a work around? I've searched the 'net, no luck. Sun HCL says that this box is supported.
Thanks for any help or directions.

1950's and 2950's work well in Solairs 10.
You'll need Solairs U3 at least as it has an updated mpt driver for the newer LSI 1680. The networking however is not included. There are two ways to install then:
1. Install without network, download driver and add from cd after system is up and running.
2. Install using a ITU cd image.
Alternately if you have a Jumpstart server, use Solaris U3 and rebuild the x86.miniroot with the Broadcom driver built in ;)

Cannot install solaris 10

I have 384 MB of RAM (3x128) on my computer. When I tryed to install Solaris 10 via DVD , I got an error 28: "select item cannot fit on memory". What should I do ?Should replace the 3 RAMs by one stick of 256 MB ?
When Booting, the system shows 384 MB of RAM, But when the the GRUB shows up, it shows only 65500K of memory. Can somebody help me with that?
Thanks inadvance

Thanks inadvanceIf memory serves Solaris 10 requires 512MB minimum but I wouldn't run it on less than 1GB.
I haven't noticed any inconsistencies with grub on the machines I've built.

Cannot install solaris 10 on x2100

Hi,
I've been trying to install Solaris 10 on X2100M2 remotely.
This is as far as I can get:
Connect to the ELOM (through net management).
Connect to the console.
Reboot the server.
Able to see the system booting into the DVD.
During the selection for Solaris, Solaris -ttya Solaris-ttyb, I tried selecting each one of them, but I cannot get any further.
I see the cursor at the top of the console screen moving (as if to print the ......)
and then it gets stuck. Generally at that point I lose network connection as well.
How come I do not see any console output past this point?
Is it going to the Serial port?

Had to resort to installing the server by using the GUI console.
If you open the browser to the IP address of the ILOM,
you are able to view a system console (Java applet).
Using that applet you are able to install the server.
Not the desired solution, but it worked.
Couldn't figure out why you cannot view the system output in the ILOM console.
Also after a certain point in the Solaris install, you will lose network connection to the ILOM.
You might have to reconnect to the server a few times during the install.
x4200 are a bit better than this.

Cannot Install Solaris 10 8/07 on HP Laptop

I'm trying to install Solaris on a laptop (HP dv5040us (2.2Ghz AMD Turion, 2GB Ram)), and here's what I've done so far:
Downloaded Solaris 10 (sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.iso) from Sun.com.
Did the checksum and passed.
Burned to DVD and finalized (using Roxio). Did checksum again and passed.
I've ensured that the CD drive is first in the boot sequence.
But when I boot (power on or restart) nothing happens -- it just keeps booting up Windows on the hard drive. I've even disabled the hard drive once to force it to boot from CD, but nothing happens. Is the disk supposed to be bootable with the iso file alone? Sun installation instructions and related topics are pretty straight forward and do not mention anything other than what I've already done -- download, burn to cd(dvd), and boot from cd-rom. What am I missing? I want to replace Windows with Solaris on this laptop, so I'm not trying to set up a multi-boot. Help!

have you burn it as image or just put file on the disk?
You need to do it as image to have bootable CD/DVD

Cannot install Solaris 10 on VirtualBox

Hi all, I've downloaded and installed VirtualBox 2.0.2 on Vista HP x64 and I'm trying to install Solaris 10 on it so I can practice scripting and admin tasks. When I boot from the dvd image all I get is the Grub> prompt with no menu. I've chosen to download the single DVD file which is suspiciously small at 2,154MB.
When I try and go to the multipart DVD downloads, I get a page not found error. The link I've been trying is: https://cds-edit.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=Sol10-U5-SP-x86-SEG-DVD-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI
Can anyone tell me what I need to do next, or shall I just wait for 10/08 to come out?
Thanks.
Andy

I am also trying to perform a Solaris10-508 install on a Vista OS via VirtualBox
I'm running Vista Ultimate, so my system may not match yours.
I am using the All-In-One DVD image
I installed VirtualBox 2.0.2 and created a default Solaris VDI:
512MB memory + 16G dynamic VDI
Set the new machine's CD drive to mount the ISO image, and set
Hard Drive as the first Boot device, then CD .... I don't have a floppy,
so I've disabled it in the boot order.
Open Windows task manager and look for VboxSVC.exe ...
change it's priority to "below normal".
(Until I did that, my systems were unresponsive -- both host and guest --
and the installation froze at 10%)
go back to VirtualBox and start your new machine.
Because there is no OS installed, it should boot from the DVD
I just let it run with all the defaults as this is the first time I've
installed / used Solaris.
As at time of writing this, installation is progressing nicely and up to
25%

Install progression .... 75% and no hangs
Edited by: kcstingel on 27/09/2008 15:18
Install Complete ....
Click Reboot Now ....

Problems installing Solaris 10 1/06 on Dell PowerEdge 2850

Hello,
Tried to install - Solaris does say "No disks".
Wanted to use Sun's driver for LSI PERC 4e/Di RAID contoller which is onboard, so I made the diskette according to instructions. The driver is for Solaris 10 3/05 and there seems to be no new one for 1/06 release.
Used 5 in the menu [Aapply driver updates].
It read the floppy, then went successfully thru the questions stage and then displayed a dialog box saying that there are no disks. Disks are there (2X73GB) as RAID 1 and visible to BIOS.
Tried to specify boot option "acpi-user-options=2" in the GRUB. Then it fails to mount the floppy drive which is the only way to add the ITU driver.
Please, help.
Thanks in advance.

I just did this on an 1850 with raid.
Theres a post from me on this forum about it,
failing that:
http://solaris.manga.org/install.html
should do the trick until they fix their pilot error.

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,

well, this ought to have been mentioned in Release Notes, but instead its thoroghly documented in the Install Guid.
For the release version of Solaris 11.2, you need to replace the sunpro-incorporation, messy.

Installing solaris 10

Hi all im a bit of a newby to the scene and i always had a interest in
opera which i use to get around on the internet fast
recently i have downloaded solaris 10 onto my notebook so i can fool
around with it but to be perfectly honest i cant seem to get it working
properly could someone please help me?? it would mean so much to
me and you would earn my eternal gratitude :D
here are my specs : fujitsu siemens amilo m3438g notebook
intel pentium M 1.73 ghz
1024 mb ram
and a 100 GB hard disk which i have partitioned
with a logical partition for MS winxp and a logical
linux partition for solaris (i used partition magic8)
if someone could find the time to help me please do
you can contact me @ [email protected]

with a logical partition for MS
l partition for MS winxp and a logical
linux partition for solaris (iFor starters it helps to check out the several installation guides, you cannot install Solaris on an extended partition but you'll need a primary. To see if your laptop is capable of running Solaris you have 2 options. Either try it out and see if it works or check the hardware compatibility list at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/.
As to your common installation issues I'd suggest paying some attention to this website: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1236.1.

Problems installing Solaris 10 on Dell PowerEdge 800

Hi,
I am experiencing some trouble when I attempt to install Solaris 10 on a Dell PowerEdge 800. It is equipped with two RAID disks controlled by a Dell CERC SATA 1.5/6ch (according to the BIOS).
The installation program reports that it cannot write to the disk. This happens when it is about to start installing files. Tried setting it to a single volume and disable RAID. Same thing. Read another article saying something about disabling IDE, well it doesn't seem to help ...
Any hints?

I have the same problem on a dell 750 with the SERC controller. I can add some more information but if you get a solution I would appreciate the detail.
1) If I install Solaris via the SERC in RAID 1 mode then the alarm on the SERC goes off as soon as I start to write to the disk.
2) I bypassed the SERC and installed on a single disk straight off the motherboard. Time the install crashed at the same point but this time the error message told me that the first available cylinder was number 3! Ah
3) I reconnected the disk via the SERC, rebuilt the RAID array and made a mistake. I created a RAID 0 (striped) array and installed the software starting from cylinder 3. I got a complete solaris install that rebooted fine and is fully working.
BUT I NEED A MIRRORED SYSTEM SO
4) I rebuild the machine again this time RAID 1 and again the crash occured at exactly the same point i.e. as soo as I start to write to the disk.
Whether or not DELL / Adaptec support Solaris should not be an issue. This is a BIOS configurable RAID controller that can be fully serviced (e.g. disks replaced) from the BIOS. The system sees the array as a disk via the controller and indeed it is seeing it.
The SERCs own data configuration data should be on sectors which are not visible to solaris VIA the SERC so we shouldnt be able to damage them but I suspect that this may not be the case.
I suspect that the answer is in the partition layout and who or what creates them (I dont mean the Solaris slices but the FDISK partitions)
To make matters worse, since I need the machine working I went back to disks straight of the motherboard and configured again and used metadevices to set up a fully mirrored systemas I have done many times before on sparc (but never on Solaris x86)
This worked fine but I thought that I would test bootability in the event of disk failure. There isnt any!
if disk 1 fails then the motherboard wont accept disk 2 unless you swap the cables and move it do disk 1 and by then the boot sectors are wrong for the address of the device. I can probably solve this by building both disks in slot one but who wants a mirrored server that you have to open up and move a cable when the disk fails. I think I may have to ditch SATA and go back to SCSI !
