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
Alan

I am getting error #1328 in acrobat XI while trying to install update.

I am getting error #1328 while trying to install update to acrobat XI. The error says it failed to apply patch to C:\config.msi\PTFBD7.tmp. I have uninstalled and reinstalled acrobat as the help page said to do, but it still will not install the update.

When I try to download firefox I get this error "cannot open output file". I had firefox once but uninstalled it now I cant' reinstall. Why?

I had firefox but uninstalled it because of problems with add on Recipefox. Now when I try to reinstall it I get and error message "cannot open output file". I really liked firefox, How do I get it back?

When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

I get an error message "waiting for activation" while trying to turn on imessage

I had to reset my Apple ID password. After doing this i now have to log back into everything that requires an Apple ID to operate on my 5C. I dont currently have cell coverage as im traveling in Italy for work and don't have international coverage. Is there a way for Imessage to verify my new AppleID password without recieving an SMS from Verizon. My phone is currently in Airplane mode with date and all roaming shut off to keep from getting an expensive charge. I have Wifi through a hot spot i carry with me but the Imessage gives an error message saying "waiting for activation" From everything i have found i guess it's waiting for network (Verizon) verification. Back to my question, is there a way to have Imessage verify my new Apple ID password over wifi using my email address instead of carrier verification? This seems to have worked for Facetime but i know facetime only uses Wifi.

Hey Andrew,
That is interesting issue. If you are still not activated with iMessage, then you will probably need to turn your cellular data on so it can be linked with your phone number. Go over the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it going.

I get an error 400 parameter description required while trying to use netflix

Im trying to access netflix and under any menu such as "recently watched" or "instatnt queue" I get an error message that says
400
parameter description required
I reset the Apple TV and still had the same problem.
I logged out of Netflix then logged back in, same problem.
After trying multiple times it still gave me the same error.
Tried it again after 5-7 minutes and it worked, no more error message.
Any ideas?

We have the same problem. It appears to be something with AppleTV as Netflix works on our iPhone and the Wii. I haven't tried to use it on the AppleTV in about an hour but maybe it will have cleared itself up by now. Did all the reset and log in and out stuff, too.

I'm unable to install the Mac os x 10.7.3 update. I get an error message each time my macbook tries to install the downloaded updates. Can anyone help me?

Each time my macbook restarts and tries to install the downloaded software updates, I get an error message telling me that there might have been an error during the download process of the updates and that he's unable to install the updates. What can I do?

What are you trying to download? If you are referring to the recent security update, just ignore the error and select the option to open the installer. It's fine.

I get the error "Cannot open port" when I want to display the directory content of one FTP servers with LabVIEW's internet toolkit functions. What is the problem? I'm logged on on the server.

Is anyone experimenting this kind of problems or has resolved it? Thanks. I use LabVIEW 6.1 with Windows 98.

Squish,
This forum is for CAN questions. I would strongly urge you to repost your question to the LabVIEW General category and this is a LabVIEW question.
Also, does the FTP Browser shipping example that comes with the Internet Toolkit work? If it does, then I would suggest studying that example. If it does not, then I would suggest reposting your question and giving much more detail about which VI is giving you the error and a general overview of the program.

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 error "cannot open" when playing Videos purchased on itunes.

I'm trying to stream videos from my PC to my iPad 2 using the "Videos" app and i keep getting error "cannot open" on any video that I try to play that I purchased through iTunes. Other videos I added that werent purshased through itunes play fine however. Can anyone help with a solution? My iPad is on 5.0.1 if that helps.

I'm getting this error suddenly. I used to be able to stream purchased movies just fine, and now it simply says, "Cannot open." With movies I ripped from my DVDs, they will play just fine, but movies purchased from iTunes give the error every time.
I know I don't have any odd characters in my name like mikesoderstrom had and I haven't changed any account details since the last time it was working a few weeks ago. The only major change I can think of is upgrading to iTunes 11.
My iTunes account says that both my Mac and my Phone are still authorized. Maybe I should try deauthorizing all anyway, but I'd rather not deal with the hassle of re-authorizing, especially if it didn't work for someone who tried it already.
I have no problems with downloading/updating apps, just with Home Sharing purchased movies.

Getting error- Cannot open as archive for CS6 Master suite collection. How to d/l & install?

I have an account and a license key code. I purchased a new laptop that doesn't have a dvd drive. I want to download CS6 Master Suite Collection but I keep getting error "cannot open as archive"!!! I have already located the d/l files, but they will NOT install. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

if you downloaded an exe and 7z, they should both be in the same folder and click (or double click) the exe.
do NOT manually try to extract the 7z file.
if that doesn't solve your problem, what file names and extensions did you download and what are their file sizes?

Hi,
Some questions:
1. Can you open your account via OWA?
2. Can you configure your account on other user's computer?
Try disabling any 3rd-party firewall or AV programs, make sure no proxy applictions or settings.

Getting the error "Cannot copy file GEARAspiWDM.sys." while installing iTunes

I am installing iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I am getting the error "Cannot copy file GEARAspiWDM.sys." but the path is correct and I can copy it manually. Help!

Hello LondonMom,
Sorry to hear that iTunes is not installing properly. I found an article that has steps for troubleshooting iTunes installation issues on a Windows computer:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
I recommend starting with the section titled "General installation troubleshooting" and then continue with the section titled "Additional troubleshooting" if the error persists.
I hope this helps!

Can't open boot device??? On sparc 7

Hi
I'm new to Solaris, please be patient.
I got a ultra 1 machine and tried to upgrade the hard drive. I installed an IBM 4.55 GB sca drive. When I boot this message comes up.
Boot device /sbus/espdma/csp/sd@0,0:a File and args: -F cprbooter cprboot
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
I did probe-scsi command it says
Unit 0 Disk TANDEM 4512-2 2626
Any help would be great. Is the hard drive not compatible with solaris? I tried a couple of other drives same result. Thanks in advance

You're trying to remove an old/small hard disc and you try to
install the new 4.5GB drive instead, is that right?
The boot-file property in the openboot prom is set to "...cprboot" because the system was suspended
(and not shutdown), before you've removed the hard disc. On power-up, the
system wants to resume from suspend state with the information saved
on the hard disc and tries to do that using the "cprboot" boot
program. (obviously this cannot work because the disc with the suspend
state data is gone). You can probably get rid of this error by
using the open boot prom commands printenv/setenv to check/correct
the boot-file property.
The other problem is the "Bad magic number in disk label" error
message, but this is just a hint that the new disc contains no
valid disk label, so you cannot boot from the new disc, yet.
This is to be expected - because the disc contains no valid data.
I'd say that you should just place you solaris installation cd into
the cdrom drive and try a 'boot cdrom' at the open boot prompt and
install a fresh copy of solaris on the new drive. Then restore
your user files from a backup (or whatever) on the new drive.
