Floppy Drive not work in Solaris x86

Hello all,
I have been installed Solaris 10 x86 1/06 beta but after installation there is no possible to use floppy drive. I cannot mount it.
How to solve this problem?
Thank You.
Sincerely Yours,
Girts Zeltins

Bug 6294851 perhaps?
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6 294851
The patch documented in the bug's workaround section should work on
Solaris 10 x86 GA. Not sure if it is OK for Solaris 10 x86 1/06 beta.

Floppy drive not working on Neo2-FIS2R

This is a bizarre one. When we first set the system up, the a: wouldn't work. So we tried 2 different floppy drives and 3 different cables. Eventually the floppy drive just started to spontaneously worked - this allowed us to set up the Intel RAID array (since windows XP needs the F6 + disk in A: to install the drivers).
Then, after having XP installed, the a: wouldn't work from windows. This was rather bizarre.
Then later on it just spontaneously started working again, so I took the opportunity to flash to bios 1.3. Now it has stopped working, and that didn't trouble me so much as I don't have much need for an A: generally.
However I was overclocking the system, and evidently had too low a voltage on the memory, did a memory benchmark in SiSoft Sadra and it hung in the middle, so I reset the computer. Ever since that, booting into Windows had some strange problems, CoreCenter, among other programs, would not start correctly - it would show up in the processes, but the window wouldn't show. Likewise running Sandra or 3dMark, they'd show up as active processes but would not actually be usable. Until I played a music file in winamp - then suddenly all the programs would open up.
So I figured, right, time to reinstall windows. And it has since turned out that my hard drives were buggered somehow (or at least, they are now) and so I have to format them and start from scratch. Thus leading to the problem.
How are you supposed to install the drivers for RAID from an A: if your A: does not work? The drive light goes on as if it's trying to read, and it makes noises with the head moving around or something, but it just will not recognize any disk in the drive. Including putting a valid windows 98 boot disk and restarting - it says it is searching for a boot record, but cannot find one on the disk.
We have tried 3 different cables and 2 different floppy drives, various settings for turning the FDC on the system on and off to no avail. The curious thing is that it's randomly started working by itself in the past.
Anyone have any ideas what's up? We're trying to find a PCI floppy controller right now to see if we can just avoid the problem completely.
Is the board buggered or what?

I found the problem, it was rather stupid, and probably pretty system-specific, but just incase anyone else has the same problem and it drives them insane...
The problem was a mechanical one - the case I have has a panel that it puts on over top of the floppy drive. There is a button that connects with the eject button on the drive. The problem was the drive was seated about 2 mm too far forwards, so when you put a disk in the drive, it was pushed too far back and not properly seated, making it unreadable.
Fixed it now though.

Floppy drive not working, Light stays on

My floppy drive is not working. I bought a new floppy drive, its detected by the BIOS, but with a disk inside nothing happens, lights don't even come on.
So I swapped it with an older working floppy drive from another PC. With this one the lights come on and stays on. I let it boot to Windows XP (light still on) and I insert a disk, you can hear it spinning it, it keeps spinning it until I eject the disk, also windows puts a message box saying "please insert disk". I searched the forums and found https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=44664.0 checked my cable it was connected the right way. For the hell of it I reversed it, nothing happened. This cable was the round cable that comes with the motherboard (k8n Neo2 platinum), so i tried an older flat cable nothing same result.
The drive is detected in the BIOS. Windwos XP shows it in driver manager and its says working properly.
What could it be?

Sad to say it's what you've already tried. The cable is into the floppy upside down.
Make sure your using the cable end connectors not any mid cable plugs.
The ones supplied by MSI have often had problems.

There was a notch on the top of it which made me believe it was keyed, turns out there is no key slot to put it into

P6N SLI Plat and floppy drive not working

System says the floppy drive works fine, but I put in a disc and it doesn't recognize it. All I get is, "Please insert disc".
Windows says that drivers are up to date.
I really need to get it working so I can do a fresh OS install with raid drivers on the floppy.
I think im just retarded, or both my floppy drives are dead... or both my floppy discs are dead.
Any ideas?

P6N SLI Platinum

From what I'm reading it sounds like you are able to boot to Windows at the moment right?
If so, why not skip using a floppy disk to load driver, and just slipstream your RAID drivers into a Windows install CD?
There are tutorials all over the web to do this, here's a good one:
http://www.maximumpc.com/article/How-To--Slipstream-your-XP-installation
Regarding your floppy issue, it's very possible for your floppies to be dead. Almost all of mine that I have around are toast by the time I get around to using them.
If you're dead set on using a floppy to load your RAID drivers, go buy a couple new floppies and see if you still have the same problem. If so, then you're a new $14 floppy drive away from solving your problem...

D-Link 562M modem does not works in Solaris 10 (?)

I use D-Link 562M external USB 56K modem. Modem works in Windows but does not works in Solaris 10 (?). Help me!

pat.gibbons wrote:
Not supported yet but will be in a future Solaris Express release.Many USB modems are not really modems but the entire signal processing is done by the host computer. Such "winmodems" require signal processing software which is quite complex. I do not think that such modems are supported in the following versions of Solaris.
If the 562M is NOT such a modem (but a "real" one) it should be quite easy to adapt a driver to work with this modem.

tcrite,
Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

And i have Included the Fonts folder entry in REPORTS_PATH variable entries...Is there any thing needs to be done.....??????
Why its not working in Solaris........PLEASE HELP ME OUT...........!!!!!
Thanks in Advance........
sharat ([email protected])

Hi Sharat
I see that you have two entries for helvetica font in your uifont.ali. Be aware that order of precedence is alias->embed->subset. If the helvetica part is appearing junk, try and comment out the entry in embed section and let the subsetting happen.
On Solaris, ensure that the case of font file names match.

Swedish chars �� not working under Solaris

Hi All,
I created the following little code and it is not working under Solaris 7, JDK1.4.1_01. (also tested some other but does not work)
public class HelloSweden
public static void main(String [] args)
String newName="��";
String charsetName = "iso-8859-2";
byte [] s = {(byte)229, (byte)228, (byte)246};
try
newName = new String(s, 0, s.length, charsetName);
catch ( java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException e )
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("new name is: "+newName);
for(int i=0; i<newName.getBytes().length; i++)
System.out.println(i+"."+":"+newName.getBytes());
The problem is that on Solaris 7 the output is:
new name is: ???
0.:63
1.:63
2.:63
Whereas on Linux it works fine:
new name is: ��
0.:-27
1.:-28
2.:-10
I also tried the "javac -encoding iso8859-1" option but no use.
Could anybody help?
Thnx,
GF

I also tried the "javac -encoding iso8859-1" option
but no use.
Was the output exactly the same or were the numbers correct, at least?
You may need to compile with:
javac -encoding ISO-8859-1 ClassName.java
and then run with:
java -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 ClassName
You can set the character encoding explicitely like that. The character encoding depends on locale settings; if you set LC_ALL to a Swedish locale ("sv_SE"?) javac and java should start using the correct encodings automatically.

HP deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7

This procedure is much too complicated for an average user. You know that millions of Wondow XP users are switching to Windows 7. I' sure that most of them are facing similar problems. HP should come with a user friendly solution that solves the above issues. Don't you think?
My problem remains unsolved.

Hi dvh,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7.
Do you see any error messages with the installer? Or does it just close out and doesn't install?
In the meantime, please try using our HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!
