Cannot open/stat device

Good day to all.
I'm trying to install Solaris 10 (11/06) on my pentium D box. I have 1 SATA hdd (primary master) and 1 DVD-RW drive. The hdd have 2 primary partitions - 1st - win-xp, ntfs, 2nd - for Solaris OS and 1 logical partition. During installation process I have an error - installboot failed - failed to install boot block.
After that I boot in single user shell disagreed to mount found solaris partition on /a and entered command - /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 and got an error - cannot open/stat device /dev/dsk/c1d0s2
I don't understand why installgrub trying to use c1d0s2 instead of c1d0s0?
By the way, mount /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 /a works fine.
Pls help!

Hi,
I have a disk with 2 partitions. 1st partition I installed solaris2 filesystem/slices. 2nd partition I created via fdisk from within solaris.
I assigned 2nd partition to a zpool. Creating the zpool trashed my MBR, and I could no longer boot Solaris off the hard drive.
booting into singleuser mode off the install cd, solaris detected the 1st partition, and mounted it at /a. Running installgrub gave me the same error message.
Trick I tried:
Copy stage1 and stage2 files off /a/boot/grub into /tmp.
unmount /a.
re-run installgrub
violla installgrub has no problem writing to device. The MBR was restored! Horray!

  • Getting an error 'Cannot open Boot device' while trying to install Solaris

    Hi,
    We were trying to install Solaris * on a Sun Sparc system and the CD rom drive does not seem to get recognised. When we try booting from cd rom we get an error 'Cannot open boot device' .
    This server was up & running and we were trying to remove a hard disk that had failed and modified the vfstab script . After that the system failed to even boot up. So when we tried reinstalling the OS we are running into this problem.
    Am new to this technology ...And any help would be greatly appreciated. .....
    Thanks

    Cdrom drive must be scsi device 6
    I assume you are running < boot cdrom> at the ok prompt
    also at the ok prompt run the command <probe-scsi> (without the angled brackets) you need to see the following:
    Target 6
    Unit 0 Removable read only device TOSHIBA XM.......bigpileofnumbers
    If not, check the cdrom drive and the cdrom inside
    hope this helps

  • Internet connect cannot open communication device

    Hi.. I just upgraded to Leopard and suddenly started to get the above message constantly, over and over again every few seconds... i can still get on the internet even when it tells me it can't... i don't know how to stop this message.... has anybody else seen this? i have turned off bluetooth, ethernet and other ways that i would try to get on the internet if necessary, but i can't stop the message.

    I would suggest you got to the system preferences and open Network.
    click on the location bar and select edit locations.
    Click the + sign and create a new location with a name of your choosing. Then select 'Done'
    Then on the left select each port that you don't use and click the minus sign to remove them. then click apply and see if this fixes your issue.
    btw what type internet connection do you have? and what type of modem do you use?

  • Error message - Cannot open communication device

    Our internet connectivity works fine but we get the message frequently. How can I get rid of this reoccuring problem?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    try making a new network location.
    system preferences-->network-->location-->edit locations
    click the + sign, title your location with a name of your chooseing, click done and apply.
    then from the list of network ports delete all the ports you dont use, such as bluetooth, firewire etc Then apply.
    See if that fixes the issue.

  • Error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared

    Hi, I bought the new Humble Bundle today and downloaded the tar.gz file for Fieldrunners (which is supposed to work under linux)
    "error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" is the message I get when I put ./Fieldrunners into konsole after copying the fieldrunners folder into /opt
    I have freeglut-2.8.0-1 installed
    This is the README:
    This is Fieldrunners for Linux.
    It was built under Ubuntu 12.04 but is known to work in other distros.
    The only external dependancy is the freeglut3 library.
    To install:
      copy the fieldrunners directory (executable and game assets) to /opt
      copy the .fieldrunners directory (user options, achievements and saves) to your home directory.
    If you don't want to copy the fieldrunners directory to /opt, you can likely start fieldrunners from any folder and it will attempt to find the assets in the same folder as the executable.
    The executable /opt/fieldrunners/Fieldrunners will create the .fieldrunners directory in the home directory if not found.
    EDIT: Forgot to mention, there is no PKGBUILD file in the tar.gz
    Last edited by harsha (2012-08-15 23:43:19)

    My Fieldrunners says:
    cannot open audio device (Device or resource busy)
    Fieldrunners: pcm.c:928: snd_pcm_state: Assertion `pcm' failed.
    ... so I have to kill pulseaudio first (or use padsp). After that (with alsa), it has choppy sound. 1 second sound, one pause...
    Spacechem is windows binary + a wine'ish blob (that just freezes on my machine), comes only as rpm/deb and seems to insist to be installed in /opt (AND some files in /usr/share). The included .exe doesn't work with native wine either (without further adjustments at least).
    Doesn't really look good at all so far, this bundle.
    edit:
    Also: Uplink seems to be unplayable on a big resolution Display without workarounds due to its small font...?
    Spirits says:
    (Spirits-64:14143): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'image-missing' for stock: Fatal error reading PNG image file: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
    ... but seems to work fine at a first glance (safe for a missing picture in the launcher which isn't really tragic).
    edit:
    ( Aaaand, now I notice I'm in the wrong thread and/or forum. Where did that generic "is the bundle working?"-thread go? Stupid multi-tabbing xD )

    Probably wasn't a good idea to install beta software on a device when you're not a developer.
    Apple clearly states that beta software is not to be installed on production devices.
    Not really much you can do except wait for iOS 6.1 to be officially released and then install it.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
    I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.
