Cannot mount ITU floppy at install

When I try and update the sd driver at install time, all it says is "cannot mount floppy".
Motherboard is a Asus P5GD1
2GB RAM
Adaptec 2810SA
6x250gb Drives
I am using Solaris 10 1/06.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I have recently reset the NVRAM on this machine not sure if there are any env settings I should have setup in OBP (I reset HOST ID and MAC-ADDRESS).

disk@0,0:a is slice/partition 0
disk@0,0:b is slice/partition 1
I'm not sure where you told it your swap slice was going to be. Looks like slice 1. Mini-root gets installed in slice 1 and then the install begins from there.
In the future, if you just "boot cdrom" from disk 1 of 2 you won't run into these issues.

Disk Utility says everything's fine, but Install disk doesn't find my internal drive as a possible destination. When I startup with Command S, I get a looping "cannot mount errno = 19" message.

Disk Utility says everything's fine, but Install disk doesn't find my internal drive as a possible destination. When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping "cannot mount errno = 19" message.
Problem started when I used Tech Tool Pro 6 to "de-fragment volume". Had to cancel that process before it finished because I ran out of time. Thereafter, when I startup my machine normally, I get the gray Apple logo at first, but it changes to a prohibited symbol (circle with a slash thru it) and hangs.
When I startup holding the Option key, I can see my internal drive, but I get the same results as above.
When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD, it does not find my internal drive as possible destination.
When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD and then run Disk Utility, it finds my drive, allows me to "repair" and says everything is fine.
When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping error message "errno = 19" and cannot stop it to do anything else.
When I startup from Disk Warrior v4.4, it does not find my internal drive to do any repairs.
When I startup from Tech Tool Pro 6 and run the "computer check" diagnostics, everything passes but the Volume Structure, which fails at "Volume Extents (B-tree)." When I use TTP's "Tools" option to run "volume repair" it will show my internal drive and allow me to click the GO button, but nothing happens and nothing changes.
I have a Time Machine backup on an external USB drive, but for as long as the internal drive doesn't mount, I can't use the backup to restore.

It's a false report and should be ignored.
I would not rely on TT as I've already said earlier even before Grant posted similar advice.
I really think the Rigid Disk Block may be corrupted. This holds the partition map and could prevent a volume from being unmounted. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix that without repartitioning the drive which will remove everything. So, before going down this road I hope you have backups or can make a backup.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X.
5. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Cannot mount any firewire/USB external drive after software update 10.5.4

After the last software update on 10.5.4 it did not complete the installation, and get stuck at the last step of running installation script for hours. So I have to restart the computer, and it restarted fine. Then I use Disk Utility to check my hard disk, and discovered some file system inconsistency error, so I repaired it (in target disk mode by another Mac). After it is repaired, the file system passed with no error.
But ever since then, I cannot mount any external firewire drive or USB drive. I cannot use Time Machine to backup my disk. I think my firewire and USB ports are fine because I can restart my iMac in target mode and connect to my MacBook via firewire, so the hardwire ports are functional, except that it seems 10.5.4 cannot detect or mount any external drive after the failed software update.
Does anyone encounter similar problem? How can I fix it? I have my disk backed up by TimeMachine but I cannot restore it if it won't let me mount my TimeMachine disk. Is there any other way other than completely reinstall 10.5 from scratch?

first, you should try reinstalling 10.5.4. download the [combo update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054com boupdate.html] and run it. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can use full system restore from TM to go back to a time before the troubles started. to do that boot from the leopard install dvd, once past the language screen go to the Utilities menu at the top and choose "restore from backup".

Cannot Mount Any ISO in Windows 8.1 Pro

I cannot mount any ISO images on my Windows 8.1 Pro machine. I have tried the "Mount" under right-click as well as Powershell with the same results. From the UI, I get a simple message "Sorry there was a problem mounting the file."
while from Powershell I get an HResult that from searching seems to be rather generic.
I have followed the idea about upper filter and lower filter. I have made sure that the ISO is not "sparse". I made sure that ISO's are associated with Windows Explorer. I have tried a number of ISO's all from either TechNet or MSDN
with the same results. ProcMon doesn't really offer anything useful as the number of entries is overwhelming to try to limit to just mounting an image.
I read several posts where drive letters were an issue, but no guidance was given regarding what drive letter the virtual drive preferred.
I can mount the same ISO files on another Windows 8.1 Pro machine, so it isn't the ISO itself.
Any ideas? I have spent the entire day working on this problem and I really need some help.
Thanks,
Glen

I was struggling with this too. I found that the problem is a 'sparse' attribute that gets added by the Akamai downloader (known bug). To fix just copy the ISO (and the VHD) files to another folder this removes the (P). I found the answer at:

Portal on Unix cannot mount Windows File server

Hi Experts,
We had installed a NW 7.0 portal onto HP-UNIX server and integrated it with MS AD server. Now, we are facing an issue that we cannot mount windows files server when we tried to configured it with TREX. Had anyone tried this function or it is the limitation? Is the following statement still correct or do we have workaround solutions?
"If you are using the Microsoft Active Directory Service, you can only integrate documents into a Windows portal. The combination of Microsoft Active Directory Service and a UNIX portal is not supported."
Best Regards

Hi Tom,
have a look at this link:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
Your issue should work, but the prerequisite is for using the windows permissions:
"If you are using Microsoft Active Directory Service, you have to operate the Windows domain in mixed mode". If it is running in Native mode you cannot use the windows permissions. Nevertheless integrating documents into KM should work. The KM uses its own permissions instead.
Best regards,
Denis

10.9: cannot mount westerndigital drive usb3 external, but in 10.8 yes

please why is my text shown on white background? can i change this?
i could not mount my 2 external wd drives (mypassport 2,5" 2TB)
(USB3.0) since install of 10.9 on my 2 brand new macs. (imac 27" i5 late 2013 and mbair i7 mid 2013)
before, with 10.8 it worked fine!
i thought the wd drive is faulty, so i got a new one by warranty, and sent the "old" back. it took only 5 days to get the swap by wd.
i could not mount the new drive either under 10.9
but today i installed techtool pro 7.0.2, did nothing but a reboot and after that, i plugged it into my imac with 10.9, it mounted correctly on my imac, the first time ever! and showed a techtool symbol as drive symbol instead of the orange colored usb symbol.
appearantly techtool pro 7.0.2 installed something into 10.9 which helps the system mount discs?
- i never did lock the drive with the wd security app
- before that, i tried to remove all wd related stuff and uninstalled every single wd app and driver, still no mount !
- before that, apple disctools under 10.9 did not show the drives in the left column, as no other harddisc app did. (drive genius)
- i can mount both drives on the old mbair with 10.8, my wife´s mac
- wd drive utilites would show the disc, but not mount, if i tried to format it, it showed an error after 1min: cannot format disc,
as it cannot be mounted. (or so..)
- now, after install of techtool pro 7.0.2, when i plug the drive into my imac, it is mounted correctly, but there is
always another volume mounted by default "wd drive unlock volume" which says "your wd drive is not locked, so you can not unlock it)
weird?
i still cannot mount the wd drive on my new macbook air with 10.9,
etre check lists as difference:
imac:
Kernel Extensions:
com.wdc.driver.USB.64.10.9 (1.0.1 - SDK 10.9) (today mount possible for the first time since weeks)
macbook air:
no wd driver at all (and no mount possible)
any idea?
thanks

Backup Controller cannot mount XSAN Volume

Hi Guys,
I've really have a big problem regarding the XSAN that I've just setup: There are 3 Xserves connected to the SAN - one for the main controller, one for backup and another one for fileserver. After a fresh install of the Leopard Server 10.5.6 on all servers and fresh install of Xsan 2.0 updated to 2.1.1, I tried creating an SAN from the main controller, I added first the main and backup controllers, authenticated them properly and was successful adding them to the SAN. After this, I created the volume and it mounted properly on the main controller. What I don't understand is that whenever I try to mount the volume to the backup controller, it is saying unable to mount and even I tried forcing it to mount in terminal using the command xsanctl mount VOLNAME, its giving me an error saying
"unable to mount volume, Cannot mount XSAN volume error code: 5"
What is that error message? When I tried typing cvadmin to the main controller, it only gave me this message:
Main Controller:
File System Services (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1>*XSAN[0] located on 10.0.0.101:49930 (pid 317)
Select FSM "XSAN"
When I type the same cvadmin to the backup controller, it gave me this message:
Backup Controller:
File System Service (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1> XSAN[1] located on 10.0.0.102:50384 (pid 331)
No FSSs are active
Select FSM "none"
What is happening? both servers are having a DNS name. Before I created the SAN, from the authenticate window, the server name is just the IP address of the Ethernet 0 (first ethernet port). Now whenever I fire up Xsan Admin, both controllers are now offline and if you authenticate them, the server name info suddenly changed from IP address to a DNS Name (e.g. from 194.170.34.12, changed to hct-mdc.ad.hct.ac.ae) which even if I type my admin username and password cannot authenticate saying "server not found in network"
I really don't know now what to do and they need to fix the issue asap.
I would really appreciate your help guys!
Thanks.

Hi,
I am accessing this WS via ARD, so public LAN is definitely there. I have not connected the "Xsan" network (but it should be no problems communicating the Xsan traffic over this single LAN connection).
With the firewall, the situation is more strange. When I try to open the Firewall settings on Sharing, there is a dialog "Other firewall software is running on this computer." I googled this and it seems that this was a common problem on 10.3. They suggest to delete com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file but it is not there on 10.4.
"sudo ipfw list" shows this:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
65535 allow ip from any to any
Any ideas on how to make Firewall behave as expected? I will try to reinstall if I don't receive a reply.
Thanks.

Cannot mount volume

Hi
I have a server connected to a MDC.
The MDC is running 10.4.8 server, XSan 1.4.1.
The MDC can mount the SAN correctly.
The client is running 10.4.8 server, XSan 1.4.1
The client cannot mount the SAN.
What I've tried:
Re-installing XSAN
Re-installing the 10.4.8 combo update
Re-installing the 2006-007 security update
Changing from Controller, medium to client and back.
mount -t ... /Volumes/SAN
Every time I get this in the syslog:
Dec 13 13:54:35 xsanclient kernel[0]: Could not mount filesystem SAN, cvfs error ' Timeout' (25)
any ideas

Cannot mount database in exclusive mode

Hi guys
for practice Ive installed oracle 10g on centos 4, when i try to start the db it showed no pfile(it created the spfile while installing oracle but fails to recognize that) I created the pfile and when I tried to start the db it is throwing the error ORA-01102 cannot mount the database in exclusive mode. I didnt start any databases but it is throughing this error
any one please help.

but it is throughing this error You can try to create pfile:

ORA-011-2 cannot mount database in Exclusive mode

This is brand new both Oracle 10g and SUSE 9.3 install. The installation went fine, no errors. At the end I tried to verify the installation:
sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect / as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance
SQL>startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/opt/oracle/product/10g/dbs/initmydb.ora'
SQL>
So, I figured the missing initmydb file must be in different directory so I looked for it, started new shell session and entered this:
ln -s @ORACLE_BASE/admin/orcl/pfile/initmydb.ora
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initmydb.ora
Now I get the following error:
SQL>startup
ORA-011-2 cannot mount database in Exclusive mode
This is third time that I am triyng to install both SUSE and Oracle from scratch and I always run in the same problem, so you can only imagine how I feel.

Now after reading many documents I am even more confused. The thing is, now I can connect to EM and manage database, create tables, etc, which means the database is up, right? However, I am unable to verify the database existance in sqlplus.
First after I connect as sysdba in sqlplus, the console says "Connected to an idle instance". When I enter show sga sqlplus, the sqlplus displays 0. Startup comand will display error in the above post.
So, the bottom line is, according to the EM the database is up and running (I can use isqlplus too) but not according to sqlplus on the server itself. What'sgoing on here? I've been reading every single paper on Oracle's and Novell SUSE web sites and couldn't find anything about it.

Cannot mount root

Hi.
I just installed the Solaris 8 from CD on Enterprise 420R. Went through the Install process ok. Formatted the disk in the process and accepted the system boot partition size of 512MB. Rebooted and now I get an error:
panic CPU0, cannot mount root, and then it reboots in the loop.
Any ideas what is wrong and how to get back to the boor prompt?
Thanks a lot!

Again, the detail error is
Cannot mount root on /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/sd@1,0:a fstype ufs
panic[cpu0]/thread=fec17440:vfs-mountroot:cannot mount root

Cannot mount storage disk after running "reboot -- -r"

I have a server installed Solaris Sparc u4 and integrated with a storage. When executing "reboot -- -r" or "init 6", the storage disk cannot be mounted after system startup again. The output of console said "

I really added item into /etc/vfstab which is "/dev/md/emads/dsk/d50 /dev/md/emads/rdsk/d50 /home ufs 2 yes global,logging ".
But, if I use "reboot" instead, the storage disk can be mounted normally.
I'm so confused. Could you please tell me the cause and solution? Well, I don't wanna use "mountall" every time after the system is rebooted.

I cannot mount my hard drive volume!

Began a standard install of OS 9.2.2 and then my hard drive icon disappeared from the desktop. I opened drive setup from the utilities folder of the 9.2.2 cd and I cannot mount the volume no matter what. I can only start up from the cd holding down the c key and that's as far as I can go. Is this it for this powerbook? Trash time? HELP!

monkybiz,
If initialization failed, there is a problem with the HD. However, there is a process that may correct the problem or it will definitively tell you the HD is bad. HDs can fail at any time so it just may be coincidence the problem arose when trying to install software.
Since initializing the HD failed, apparently the computer can now see the HD. Boot to your MacOS 9.x CD and open the folder that says Utilities and launch Drive Setup. Highlight your HD's name in the window, then move up to the menu bar. Under Functions, select Initialization Options, then check the box for 'zero all data'. Also select MacOS Extended Format when that window appears. When the process has completed (it will take awhile), select 'Test Disk' under Functions (it will also take a while). If zeroing fails or Test Disk fails, try again to zero and then run Test Disk.
If successful, install software; if the above fails, your HD is hosed. By the way, once Drive Setup has been launched, Drive Setup Help is available from the menu bar.
