Cant Install Solaris 10

Hello all,
I am new to Solaris. I have been a Windows User for a long time, but I am trying to dual boot Solaris 10 and Win XP on my Laptop. I have set up the Partitions 1 20 GB for WIndows and 1 20 GB for Solaris. I then inserted the disk and started to install Solaris (XP already installed). Heres what I am doing....
I choose Solaris from the first menu.
I then choose " 1. Solaris Interactive (default) " from the next list
I hit enter for the hardware config thing.
The the GUI opens and I choose "0" for English.
Next the "SOlaris Install Console" appears. This is where It stops doing anything.... it displays a message about "Completing Hardware COnfig" or something to that extent. But it never does anything again. I have left it there for ever and not a damn thing....
Any help?
Thanks
Andrew

Furnish more info on Your hardware! Probably You have unsupported graphics card in Your notebook. Try to install Solaris on an older computer just to browse supported hardware. BTW - have You formatted properly Solaris partition?

  • Cant install Tape(scsi) in Solaris 2.6

    Before installing Solaris 2.6 in a Compaq Proliant DL380 with intel CPU, the TAPE is detected.
    After installing Solaris 2.6, it doesn't detect the TAPE drive.
    Does anyone nows how can i solve this problem ?
    Thanks a lot

    2 things,
    1. Your find command will find what you're looking for if what
    you're looking for is under your present directory. That's what
    the . is indication. The search your entire system, replace the
    . with a / which will tell find to start from the root directory
    and work down. The only problem with that is, if you have mounted
    drives, find will try to search them (this isn't always
    desirable), and if you are using find as a user you will see a
    large number of permission denied messages.
    2. If you are using /bin/ksh for your shell, another way to find
    a command (assuming it's in your path) is to use the 'whence'
    command. Here's an example:
    ksh> whence gunzip
    /usr/bin/gunzip
    ksh>
    If your system doesn't have gzip or gunzip, go to the gnu web page
    www.gnu.org

  • Error while installing Solaris 10 using Solaris CD

    I'm getting an error while installing Solaris 10 in an Ultra 10 box.

    Hi all im a bit of a newby to the scene and i always had a interest in

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.

  • Installing Solaris 10 on HP ML350 G5 server - No disks found

    I get no disks found.
    I cant find drivers for Smart Array e200i 128Mb v.1.66 (disk controller installed on ML350 G5) on HP site or anywhere else.
    Has anyone had success in installing Solaris on ML350 G5 server?
    Help me, please!

    Common problem. The HP storage controller driver, cpqary3, is not included in the Solaris 10 install media.
    [Download it here|http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=1121486&swItem=MTX-2eef9b53d2194136a514218995&prodNameId=3288144&swEnvOID=2023&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=2]
    One of the files included in the bundle is a .iso, which you'll need to burn to a CD. Then, when the installer gets to the first menu, select "Apply driver updates" and insert the cpqary3 CD. After the installer has loaded the drivers into the running kernel, pop the driver media out and re-insert the Solaris install media. Continue as normal.

    We do not share an apple ID and her phone is now logged in with her account and I have since backed it up on itunes under her account as well. I have turned off automatic downloads on her phone but they still keep downloading. I delete one app and then another one just appears on the phone.

  • Step by Step Guide to Install Solaris 10 11/06 With Windows XP on x86 PC

    hi everyone
    here is how I fixed my dual boot & internet connectivity failure problems. I'm explaining in detail to help any Solaris newbie (like me) having same problems: ( as I didn't find any REAL Help thru Sun Help Documents / Pages )
    My special thanx to " Phil Brown " ( who helped me alott on this )
    First to get rid of Dell's Diagnostic Partition & System Recovery Partition I re-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition & at installation I made 4 Partitions of my Dell 9150 ( x86 Intel Pentium Dual Core ) 238 GB Hard Drive.
    (1) C: 100 GB for Windows XP ( NTFS )
    (2) D: 80 GB for Solaris 10 ( RAW )
    (3) E: 50 GB for Linux ( RAW , which I haven't installed yet )
    (4) F: 6 GB (RAW)
    (5) G: 2 GB Un-Allocated Space
    Restarted PC after Win XP installation & installed Partition Magic 8 . In PM8 I formatted Solaris partition as FAT 32 (at Solaris installation it changed to Solaris format) & Linux as Linux EXT 3 . Rebooted the PC. I Started Solaris 10 11/06 installation from the DVD I burned from Sun downloads.
    Here's how I installed Solaris 10 11/06 :
    (1) On the next screen after "Loading Stage 2 ... " I selected " Solaris "
    (2) Selected " Solaris Interactive (default) installation
    (3) Hit "enter" to accept proposed Windows configuration screen it displayed
    (4) Selected 0 = English as language (you need to take cursor into white window so you can type 0 into it, otherwise u can't)
    (5) hit NEXT
    (6) Selected "Networked" option
    (7) Selected YES to "Use DHCP for e1000g0 ( Intel Pro/1000 Network Adapter )
    (8) Selected NO to "enable IPv6"
    (9) Selected NO to "enable Kerberos"
    (10) Selected DNS as "Name Service"
    (11) entered " f.root-servers.net " as Domain Name
    (12) Server's IP address : 192.5.5.241 ( you can choose the one that closest to you by visiting http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/ops/f-root/ )
    (13) Search Domain: Left all boxes empty ('coz when I tried to put any IP's into 'em, it generated " SysidgenSyserr " and have to re-start installation )
    (14) Geographic Continent / Country / Region: Americas > U. S. > time zone
    (15) hit NEXT on Date & Time Screen
    (16) Entered password twice
    (17) Selected YES to "enable Remote Services"
    (18) hit CONFIRM
    (19) Clicked NEXT on Solaris installation Welcome screen
    (20) Selected NO to " Reboot Automatically " and YES to eject additional CD/DVDs
    (21) Clicked OK on NOTICE
    (22) Specified CD/DVD as " Media from which you installing Solaris "
    (23) Check ACCEPT & hit next
    (24) Selected "initial install" & hit next
    (25) I choose "Custom Install" > NEXT > North America > and checked both, " English ( U S ) ( en_us) & English ( U S, UTF-8) (en_us.UTF-8) and hit next
    (26) Selected English (US, UTF-8) as initial locale > NEXT
    (27) Selected " Solaris 10 Extra Value Software " > NEXT
    (28) Selected NONE to " Web Start Ready Product Scan Location " > NEXT
    (29) Selected " Entire Group - Default Packages " in Solaris software group screen > NEXT
    (30) Selected " c1do(bootdisk) " > NEXT
    (31) " c1d0 " Selected > NEXT
    (32) There was a Warning: " A Linux fdisk partition was found on this disk (c1d0), which is the default bootdisk. Having a linux fdisk partition on the same disk as a Solaris fdisk partiton is not supported. Do you want to load the default Lay out ? I choose NO
    (33) It displayed 4 partitions. 1st: " Unknown " 100GB , 2nd: FAT32LBA, this I changed to Solaris by clicking on partition, size 80GB . 3rd: Linux 50GB , 4th: DOSEXTLBA 8GB , hit NEXT
    (34) I choose NO to " Preserve Data Warning " (the 80GB partition)
    (35) Displayed " Lay Out File Systems " screen, c1d0 was highlighted. > NEXT
    (36) On " Ready to Install Screen " it displayed Fdisk partitions: 1st: Unknown "Preserved" , 2nd: FAT32LBA delete, & Solaris add, 3rd: Linux "Preserved" , 4th: DOSEXTLBA "Preserved" >>> hit " Install Now "
    (37) When installation finishes hit " Reboot " & when PC was restarting I ejected DVD manually
    (38) After re-start it displayed 3 options: 1st: Solaris 10 , 2nd: Solaris failsafe , 3rd: Windows , ENTER on Solaris 10
    (39) At sign-in screen, I signed in as, user name: " root " & enterd password (which I typed at installation)
    (40) I choose JAVA Desktop System
    When it was fully up, the Internet was working right away. Restarted again to check Windows. Selected " Windows " at reboot screen & Windows was working just fine.
    It took me few allnighters to figure these out, I hope these will helpful to Solaris newbies like me. Still I can't figure out ... How to install any software (obviously designed for Solaris 10 (x86) ) onto Solaris, but thats a different issue.

    "A Linux fdisk partition was found on this disk (c1d0), which is the default bootdisk. Having a Linux fdisk partition is not supported"
    It might not be supported, but it works fine for me on my thinkpad :-) .
    redhat/solaris/xp.
    You can't just use the linux grub, though, because it won't understand
    solaris 'slices within partitions'. You need to get Solaris to install
    grub itself (in fact, you can't stop it doing so, which is rather unfair),
    and then add in the linux * xp entries to Solaris's /boot/grub/menu.lst
    (== grub.conf) to get it to pick up fedora & xp. Chainloading xp worked
    fine for me. Chainloading RHEL4/5 doesn't, so I had to cat the grub.conf
    from red hat on to the end of solaris's menu.lst. Stick red hat's grub.conf
    on a USB pen or just write it down before putting Solaris on, otherwise you'll
    have to boot linux rescue of a red hat CD in order to get hold of it after
    Solaris's grub takes over.

  • How to Install Solaris for Intel so that it boots off from a boot floppy?

    Hi all,
    Sorry to bother you with this one (I went through all documentations/manuals and could not find straight answers to following
    specific questions):
    I have one hard drive with 1st partition used by Windows XP and a second partition that's a blank FAT 32 (using Partition Magic)
    I want to use for Solaris for Intel.
    My very specific questions:
    (1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted
    partition? I am asking you that because all manuals (except one) pretend that I can run my Solaris install on a blank Fat partition...
    but I believe that documentation at multiboot.solaris-x86.org stresses that if the partition is not a blank UFS one, it wont install Solaris
    (2)As you already know, some Oses like Linux or FreeBSD can be installed on a partition and be booted off a boot floppy.
    So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.
    BTW, I currently have Solaris 7 for Intel.
    Thanks for the answers.

    (1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted You can install Solaris to that blank FAT32 drive but Solaris WILL convert it to UFS BEFORE doing the install. In other words, after the install it will be UFS and not FAT32 anymore.
    So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.Not that I know of. Some people have reported booting Solaris off of a USB drive though.

  • HT1926 cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . cant run a required dll

    i cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . when i run the setup and reach the status : "performing installation checks" , it said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer Package . A Dll required for this install to complete could not be run.v..v" what should i do now ?

  • Problems installing Solaris 8 2/04

    I installed Solaris 8 2/04 in a Sun Fire V120 (UltraSPARC-IIe 648MHz), the installation finished but when server restarted it displayed this:

    i do not know if is a hard drive problem. Please help me because i tried three times the installation but the problem still exists

    Since this is a fresh installation, you might consider starting it all over again.
    You may have made some initial selections while prompted at the beginning of the install process, that accidentally omitted essential system files.
    As for that device path and the disk? It's pointing to an external non-Sun peripheral that's connected to the rear external SCSI port. That drive has some bad sectors. ( I wouldn't trust a new OS on those sectors until you fixed them.)
    The errors are not calling out either of the two possible internal drives.
    Infodoc 21216 lists a few default system device paths, and ...Sun Fire [TM]v120 / Netra[TM] 120
