Hardware compability - Solaris on an old Intel x86 mobo

Hello, I've searched the site for a while for a hardware compability list without any success. I'm planning to test Solaris on my old web server at home (using Ubuntu at the moment) but don't know how compatible it is.
The "server" (or PC used as server) has the following specs:
Intel SE440BX Motherboard with a P3 CPU at 450 Mhz
--> http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/SE440BX/index.htm
An ATI Rage Family GPU
A no-name NIC (Works fine with Ubuntu)I don't know anything about Solaris and hardware compability, so please supply me with external links if you have anything useful to share with me :)
EDIT: I found a HCL, but no entry for my motherboard. But all informations ablout those older systems are appreciated.
Sincerely,
Linus Waerner, �rebro, Sweden

My 3COM 3C905-TX card was also recognized natively.
As for your question on "is it worth it" ?
You may have to make your own judgement call for that.
I happen to prefer it, and feel it runs better on older hardware
than the more famous named Linux distributions.
(by comparison, FC5 on the same 800MHz cpu and same 384MB of RAM was horribly sluggish)
So, go ahead and install Solaris. Run it for a few days.
You can always wipe the disk and start over.
My 440BX box is not a production box.
I have a removable disk bay and four or five hard drives, each with different OS's.
I use the system as a guinea pig testbox, such as
does this application conflict with such-and-such
or
can I run this program in that old OS

Oracle 9 for Solaris (Intel) x86?

Did oracle drop support for Solaris (Intel) x86? I run a shop with a large scale intel server running Solaris 9 (x86) and would like to try out Oracle 9i on it.
Please advise: [email protected]
Thanks!

Difference between Sun solaris UltraSPARC and Sun solaris Intel(X86)

Hi,
We have built our application on Sunsolaris Intel(X86) .But one of my client has Sun Fire v240 (but Sunfire uses Ultra SPARC processors)
is there any problem (related to JRE problem)for running that application on Sunfire

If its a java program it should work on both platforms, as long as the java version is the same (or later) as the one you used to build your application.

Solaris 10 install on Intel Centrino laptop

Greetings all:
Can someone tell me if it's possible to install Solaris 10 to a Intel Pentium M 730 processor with i915PM/GM/GMS chipset? I tried to install Linux FC4, but the network/wireless and USB won't work, so I'm thinking in installing Solaris 10 to my laptop. Is there any doc about installing to laptop (any FAQ or how-to?). I'm new to this so please bear with me.
Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions.

Sorry, assumed you needed an even amount of equal dimm's, but this is not the case.
C-14 Sun Blade 100 Service Manual � October 2000:
The system has four DIMM slots on the motherboard. Because the memory data bus width is equal to the
DIMMs (64-bit data, plus 8-bit ECC) they can be installed one at a time and with mixed sizes.
Please also see notes:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/Memory/MEM_SunBlade_100.html
Have looked for bugs in release notes and sun hardware, but found none related to your issue.
You might try if this will give you better results!

Solaris 10 Problem with Intel board network interface

I've just installed Solaris 10 on my Intel board with integrated fast ethernet interface. Installation went smoothly, except for the networking. I've already followed the guide on this link http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml. The problem is, I couldn't find anything such as /dev/iprb0 under /dev directory (iprb is for Intel Ethernet 100 VE). When checking from interactive boot, I got this line:
pci@0,0/pci8086,244e@1e/pci8086,3052@8 (which is the device for the ethernet on the pci bus)
Since there's no link such as iprb0 under /dev, I checked the /devices/pci@0,0 directory, and found these:
pci8086,244e@1e (directory, and in it, it contains no device file)
pci8086,244e@1e:devctl
My question is, how could I enable the network? Making link under /dev to pci8086,244e@1e:devctl doesn't seem to work. So I guessed there should be device file (ie. pci8086,3052@8) under pci8086,244e@1e directory. But how can I get this device file? Should I do mknod command? But I don't know how to get major and minor number under solaris.
Please help me... I am used to Linux, but Solaris is a totally different animal to me.
Edgar

If you didn't get any messages about iprb iline value being out of range, simply run (as root):
ifconfig iprb0 plumb
Otherwise run the BIOS setup and disable plug & play os. Then run the above command.

Solaris 10 on HP Intel Xeon Box

Hi there,
i am trying to install the Solaris 10 on HP intel Xeon server. but i get error message during the installaion configuration that hard disk not found. while i had win2003 on it before and drives are okay.
i get this error message when i do text based installation.
Graphix based wont even show up, dont know why.
the image i have downloaded for solaris10 is for x86 32 bit version.
i tried different CD of solaris10 and different server too, same error message. does that have any thing to do with raid configuration or there is something else that i am missing.
any suggestion or help will be appreciated.
Wasim

Whether hard disk is connected by means of scsi card or raid card or SATA or simply IDE? Since we need to check it out whether proper driver is there for those things. If it is RAID TECHNOLOGY, i suggest you cant install. please check the HP SITE for supported OS.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

My old Intel-Based iMac is no longer recognizing USB wired input devices; it only recognizes Bluetooth. What happened?

My friend's old Intel-Based iMac is no longer recognizing USB-wired input devices (Kensington TrackBall, Logitech Mouse) plugged into any USB slot at the back of the computer.
They were working before and for many years.
All of a sudden, A pop up window came up. IT said no Bluetooth mice could be found. We don't know what set off that window to pop up and look for a WL mouse. It never has before in the 5 or more years my friend has been using this computer.
I supplied a wireless Apple mouse and his is back running again.
But want to know why his USB-input devices (Except his keyboard) are not being recognized. He would prefer to use his Trackpad (Wired), but can't find anything in SYstem PReferences to allow that. The computer only seems to want a Bluetooth input device.
Anyone have an idea what happened and if this can be reversed?
I think he is still running Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Hi Carol, lets try this...
reset FW bus, same goes for USB reset...
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive/devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

Solaris 8 on Sparc and X86

Will I experience any problems connecting a Trusted Solaris 8 X86 systems to a SPARC Trusted 8 system? Will all the trusted features work between the two.
Thx

I am using Java 5.0 to develop applets, but if I use
all the possibilities that 5.0 version offers (such
as enum) that means that clients viewing my applet
must have JRE 5.0 as well. Does that mean a very
recent browser will be required?no.
I found which browsers support Java 5.0 on the page
J2SE 5.0 "Supported System Configurations" at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.h
tml
In short, what I take from there is that browsers
required would be:
- Mozilla 1.4+
- Internet Explorer 5.5 (SP2+), 6.x on Windows
platforms
- Netscape 4.7.x on Solaris 8 on SPARC and x86
- Netscape 7 and 7.1 are not offically supported, but
should work
I have no idea how recent these versions are and
whether it is acceptable to assume that web visitors
will have these versions. I'd think it is almost safe to assume people have those, they're not that young. the question is rather "do they have the JRE 1.5.0?"

License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?

What is the cpu architeture of solaris version of BPEL bundle, x86 or SPARC

Hello,
I'd like to know what is the cpu architeture of solaris version of BPEL bundle, x86 or SPARC located here: http://download.oracle.com/otn/solaris/ias/1012/as_sun_bpel_101200.cpio
The file is more than 400Mb in size, so I need to know before downloading.
Thanks.

hi,
are there any plans to release it for x86 (32 bit) platform. I'm also interested in testing beta versions of oracle software (specifically bpel, jdeveloper) on solaris 10 x86 platform, is there any beta CD available for these purposes?
thanks.

I used migration assistant and my ethernet cable to move data and apps from my 5-yr old Intel-based iMac to my brand new Intel-based iMac running OS Lion. The old machine was running OS 10.5.8. Not all my files transferred (or I can't find them). I've seen recommendations to select the old computer in System Preferences, but that didn't work. Help. Thanks!

IMO, wrong choice. Start over, using a FireWire cable and following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.
