Fail to install solaris 8 for intel

hello. i downloaded three files and made a CD for each one. but during the installing on a Dell PowerEdge 6450
(4 x Pentium III 550)which has two AIC 7899 ultra160/m SCSI adapters and a Dell PERC RAID controller (i note they are not included in the hardware compatibility list of solaris 8 for
intel), the install process stopped when it was "I2O Nexus:
initializing IO processor 0" and didn't go any further. when i attempt to intall it on another machine(2 x PIII 1000) which has a AIC 7892 ultra160/m SCSI adapter, the process
stopped saying "no disks that meet the criteria in the solaris installer documentation found" after solaris web start began to run. before this, it has reported resource conflict of PNP0C01
and ISY0050. and the installing stopped when "using RPC bootparams for network configuration information" on a PIII 800 PC. what's wrong with my installing. is it due to the incompatibility of hardware or something else?how to resolve it if possible? help is in need very much.besides,what does
DCA mean?sorry, i'm a newbie in this field.
thanks
xoing

Hi,
Problem with PERC RAID controller card.
You try to install the driver for AIC 7899 and Dell PERC RAID controller card. In dell computers, they have dell PERC RAID controller driver for Solaris 7 version. They don't have the driver for solaris 8 version.
You can download driver for SCSI AIC 7899 from this URL:
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.html?cat=/Product/ASC-39160&filekey=u160_slrs_v121_dd.img.Z
Then you check with your local dell support provider for PERC RAID controller driver for solaris 7 and solaris 8.
Thanks.
revert back.

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.

bootup from floppy
unable to file the cd
need instruction
please reply to

Hello,
You need to rename the 3 large files with an .iso extension to the end after you unzip them. For example, rename the first file from sol-8-1_01-install-fcs-bin-ia-ml to sol-8-1_01-install-fcs-bin-ia-ml.zip. Then you need to use EZ CD Creator to create a CD from an image file.

I hope this helps.

Where Do I Download Solaris for Intel?

Hi!
Can anyone tell me where do I download Solaris 8 for Intel?
When I can use Solaris for SPARC will I have any problems
using the Intel one? Are they any differences in commands
or so?
Thanks
Tom

You can no longer download Solaris for Intel. You can order it @
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html
When you get it sucessfully installed you should not see any difference in command set from The SPARC version.

CAN I INSTALL SOLARIS 10 INTEL PLATFORM ON MY PC

Can anybody guide me whether i can install solaris 10 intel platform on my pc having following configuration
1. Processor = AMD SEMPRON 2500+ 64-BIT.
2. MainBoard = ASUS K8V-MX.
3. RAM-= 512 MB DDR PC3200
4. Display = Onboard VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP.
5. LAN = Onboard VIA RHINE II Fast Ethernet Adapter.
6. Monitor = 17" LG CRT, Model = Studioworks 700S
7. Sony DVD- ROM.
8. Samsung DVD-RW.
9. HDD = 40 GB Samsung 7200 RPM.
If anybody knows let me know at my e-mail [email protected]

I don't think you will have many problems in this platform, but I'm not 100% sure.
What I recommend you is to get the VMWare and try there. VMWare is a software where you can create a virtual machine running under windows. In this virtual machine you could install solaris 10 (and any other OS you want to test in your computer). I have my Solaris 10 running under VMWare with excellent results (Laptop with Intel Celeron processor)... where I have VMWare installed in Windows!

Oracle into Solaris for Intel

Does the Oracle database for Solaris for SunSPARC, works into a
Solaris for Intel?
Do you know, where I can download an Oracle for Solaris for
Intel?
That Oracle database version is the only one, wich is not in the
OTN download page.

I bought Sun Solaris 8 (Intel platform) from SUN - you just have to pay the media & shipping fees. Oracle 8i (for Intel Sun Solaris8) was included in the package .
Check on www.sun.com for more details.

Where to download Solaris for Intel ?

Hi
I would like to download Solaris for intel so i can learn and understand it more, i'm in a foreign country and paying to get the CD is not easy , that's why i want to download it , any url ? from where i can dowload ?
Thanx

You can't get the Intel edition anymore. Only SPARC. Sorry... Sun decided to not support Intel anymore. I can sort of understand why though.

How is solaris for intel

Hi
My boss wants to use Solaris for Intel instead of Solaris for Sparc and he wants me to research which one is better, i.e. more stable and secure. I don't know how good solaris for Intel is. Please explain.
Many thanks,
Cindy

I use both Solaris x86 and Sparc... Depending on your budget is going to vary which one you should use. The real difference is the processor architecture and cost.
I have seen both in production and both work very well. Matter of fact Lucent uses x86 in all their Telecom Noc environments and it works really well. I use it as a desktop OS because my boss it cheap and won't buy me a Sparc machine. With the x86 lacking bootprom I prefer the sparc installtions. Depending on what you are using it for depends on which I would recommend. Both are good.
Sun was really driving the Intel version some years back and Intel stopped helping them develop for the x86 instruction set. So that's where it lies... You can get patches and software for both platforms usually.

Sun Compiler on Solaris for Intel

Is Sun Workshop C++ compiler with RogueWave library available on
Solaris for Intel platform?

I believe this is the case with Workshop 6, which is downloadable as a Beta from the developer connection website, but I haven't checked.
http://soldc.sun.com/workshop6ea I think is the URL.

Thanks,

Install Solaris 8, Intel platform

I have the two installation CD:s OK. Installation starts OK. I can chose "Solaris interactive", but
here comes the problems: a lot of (all?) undefined symbols like:
/kernel/drv/ipsecesp: undefined symbol:' xxx'
and the boot process stops with "tmpfs mount failed".
What to do ?

Where did u get your oracle817 version for intel solaris?
in cdrom top dir, the runInstaller is just a shell script, and
there is a binary program in install dir, try to run that
program and give out the result?

When I try the Web Start, it will jump the the shell prompt and say something like "No location for installation software ...."
Could anyone give me some clue? Thanks.
