Failure installing Solaris 11.1

Booted from a S11.1 the LiveCD, chose to install on my laptop's hard-drive in a free partition, installation goes well but fails at the very end.
Tried a couple of times, failed both times. Can someone help? Thanks!

the crash seems to occur in /usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/solaris_install/sysconfig/profile/support_info.py which handles ocm and asr registrations.
Also the strip function mentioned is used for proxy values.
Do you by chance have some funny values for http proxy or ocm purposes?

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.

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 !

Installing Solaris 11 on SunFIre T1000 With Automated Installer Server Fail

h4. Hi
h4. A few days i am try to intall solaris 11 11/11 on our server Sunfire T1000

Failure installing iPlanet Messaging Suite.

Good Day!!!
I'm trying to install the Iplanet Messaging Server 5.1 on Unix-Solaris Platform and I've got this message during the installation process.....
Here goes.....
"Stopping Messaging Server
Run-time exception error; current exception:
LApplicationException Unexpected exception thrown.
Abort - core dumped ERROR. Failure installing
iPlanet Messaging Suite."
I've got this error after the menu appeared that I have a Messaging Server instance already installed.
What could be the problem? And also, How can I delete/remove the message that says I have already instances installed for the Messaging Server?
Could anyone email me personally regarding this matter, and here's my private email-address: [email protected]..
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks and more power.....

try removing the /etc/msregistry.inf file before running the installer.

Installing Solaris 8 : 170 Arithmetic Exception

Im trying to install Solaris 8 on a old Netra i server
( Refered as SPARCServer 5 by the PROM banner )
I installed a Seagate ST39204L Cheetah Ultra160 SCSI disk in the server
to add more storage space for the solaris installation.
I wish to build a little server/wrkstation with it.
So I installed the disk, start the server and do a STOP+A
to get to the openboot prompt
ok
ok probe-scsi-all
Everything is ok it sees the disk

Is there something I can do about that?
I was wondering if this server support drive that have more than 8Gig?
Or is it because its a Ultra160 SCSI drive?
Im not really familliar with SCSI.
The drive is unformated.
Is there anyone with a suggestion?

Well it worked great until it came to installing files to the disk.
It exit with the following error:
One or more disks are found, but one of the
following problems exists:

Unformatted disk.And the disk is currently unformated, so I tried
at the prompt to run fdisk to create a partition.
I reed a bit and fount that to be interesting.

Would format the controler 0 SCSI-ID 1 disk 0 partition 0

Error while installing Solaris 10 using Solaris CD

I'm getting an error while installing Solaris 10 in an Ultra 10 box.
I have Solaris CDs (Total 4) and I have installed Solaris 10 in a Ultra 250 box , I did not get any problem. That means CDs are fine.
But when I try to boot the CD 1 from bootPROM mode by giving the following command
ok boot cdrom
I get the following error :
rebooting with CD command boot cdrom
boot device : /pci@1f, 0/pci@1 , 1/idi@3/cdrom@2 ,0:f file and args
Cant read disk label
Cant open disk label package
evaluating : boot cdrom
Cant open boot device
Then the box boots up with Solaris 8 which it has now..
Can anyone please help me to solve this issue ?
Thanks

With the above information , I just wanted to tell you that the CD rom is getting detected as i can view all files in the CD.,,

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.

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:
"loadkeys: Cannot find /usr/lib/ld.so.1
Killed
kbd: Cannot find /usr/lib/ld.so.1
Killed
cfsfstype: Cannot find /usr/lib/ld.so.1
WARNING: /proc could not be mounted
expr: Cannot find /usr/lib/ld.so.1
/sbin/swapadd: swap: not found
WARNING - /usr/sbin/fsck not found. Most likely the
mount of /usr failed or the /usr filesystem is badly
damaged. The system is being halted. Either reinstall
the system or boot with the -b option in an attempt
to recover."
i tried with boot -b but it did not solve the problem, when i tried to start the server normally it could not, I can oly enter to server in maintenance mode, and the sysem could not found a lot of files (like /usr/sbin) and commands (like ls, boot, init).
I found at the start of the installation this display
"WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/sd@0,0 (sd0):

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

How to install Solaris 8 from Hard disk?

Hi.
Im downloading Solaris 8 from a free FTP server. Some body can explain me what i need to install Solaris 8 from my hard disk?

Well first if you are downloading the cd images to a non Solaris machine, they are ISO images that cd burning software and a cd burner will use to burn a bootable cd. After you create the cd's boot cd 1 of 2 and the install will begin. I read somewhere that if you download the images to a solaris machine you can mount the image as a CD and share it and then install directly from the image over a network. I am not too clear on exactly how that is done since I downloaded to W2K.

We can't install Solaris 8 - IBM PC SERVER 315

Hello:
We are trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) (02/02) in an IBM PC Server 315.
Some words about it:
- 128 Mb RAM
- Pentium Pro 200 Mhz
- Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW Ultra SCSI in PCI bus1,Slot 4 (Info from Solaris install) (Target 7)
- Hard Disk IBM SCSI (Target 0)
- CD-Rom SCSI IBM CDRM00203 (Target 6 of SCSI) (info from Solaris install)
We have a big problem.
We can't install Solaris from CD.
After Loading kernel , when it begins Searching /dev and /devices...we see this text in the screen repeated a lot of times:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1011,24@2/pci9004,8178@1(adp0):
timeout: abort device, target=6 lun=0
And before this something like it has some problem and begins a resinc ??
Please Could you help us?
Solaris has been purchased from Sun on 12 March 2002
A lot of Thank's!
P.D: Please, excuse my poor English.
A lot of thank's.

two other severs wouldn't run the cd either? Break it down a little it will be more solvable. We will create two separate problems with this. First we will check the cd disk itself. Put in another system and install solaris. If that works, move to the cdrom drive....move it to the same computer you just installed solaris on...if it works then it is another problem.

Can I install solaris on a second hard drive?

I am completely new to Solaris. My computer runs Windows XP as its primary OS and I have a second (slave) hard drive that I would like to install Solaris 10 on. Does the installation DVD for x64 architecture automatically handle this kind of installation? Is this process possible? If it is, will I have to manually configure the BIOS to boot each OS every time I change my current OS, or will some sort of GUI dialogue come up? I would like information on this subject and if possible, step-by-step instructions.

Tottaly agree with the last post. Check if your hardware is in HCL, there is a free program you can download from Sun Download page, you burn it to CD and reboot, then it will provide you with all needed information. And if something is not in the list, you will get a hard time seting it up (there are a lot of unofficial drivers). So as an example: networkcard will be hard to install and set up. So check first.
As from my experiense conserning instalation, I would suggest to do so:
(in a way as the last post)
prepare a clean partition, or backup files on a HD. run the instalation, once you will reach the point when it will ask you how to install (Normal or Custom) choose custom, then it will go to several questions concerning where on a HD to install, thats where you can choose partitions and so on.
Just as a reminder: you dont need alot of space for Solaris to work properly, plus there not so much software which requires big amount of HD. So for OS and nice package for development you will probably need tops 10Gb.

I've come across the same error messages in the same
sequence and have been stumped about how to resolve
the problem. I'm hoping that someone will read and
have an answer to these error messages.
