HELP!! -- Solaris 8 10/01 (Intel) Installation Hangs My PC!!

I downloaded the Solaris 8 for x86 yesterday and burned them into CDs.
I have the following hardware configuration.
- Intel i815E mainboard
- Intel PIII 733
- KingMax 256M 133MHz
- Maxtor 30G hard disk
- Acer 50X CDROM
The inistallation initially gave me a warning.
WARNING: ACPI Table not in Reclaim Memory
And it gave more warning during the installation process:
Resource Conflicting -- Both devices are added
The conflicting devices are:
- PNP0C01
- ISY0050
Unfortunately, I don't know what they are. :(
However, these are not the whole story. The installer went ahead to
let me fdisk my 30G hard disk.
I accepted the "Solaris Default" and answered Y to the question "Can
swap slice start at the beginning of the disk?". Immediately, the
system hangs there but the keyboard is responsive that I can type
anything I want.
In addition, I use the 512M as swap as suggested by the installer.
Can anyone help me with this situation? I have tried installing this
version of Solaris for several times but with no luck. :S
Any insights are highly appreciated! Thanks!

Try this workaround for your problem and let me know the outcomes.
Solaris bootstrap uses Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
for device configuration and MP interrupt routing.
Try to disable your ACPI.
Steps to follow:
1) Use either eeprom(1M):
# eeprom acpi-user-options=0x2
( OR )
* Modify the Device Configuration Assistant (DCA) boot floppy.
Manually edit the /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc to add:
setprop acpi-user-options 0x2
In this method is applicable for at the time of Solaris 8 installation.
DCA for Solaris 8 10/01 download it from this URL:
http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/dca_diskettes/
The ACPI conflicts problem is not fixed and is resolved by disabling ACPI.
In the example you gave, while it is annoying, it probably does no harm. In
some cases it causes duplicate devices to show up, like two floppy or IDE
drives - neither of which work properly. Disabling ACPI is the safest way
to insure there will be no problems if this message shows up.
2) Reboot the System.
Hope it helps.

  • Installation problems with Solaris 8 on Intel

    Howdy,
    I am having some problem with my installation of Solaris 8 on Intel. I am installing the system on a P133 (Asus TX97 motherboard). When I first start the installation and perform the system scan I get the following error:
    The PnP ISA: IDE Controller programable device was unable to be programmed.
    This could be caused by two possible reasons:
    - Lack of resouces available
    - There is a conflict with the following already-existing device: 8086,7111 - Bus Mastering IDE Controller
    When I bring up the View/Edit device settings and I scroll to the IDE controller there is an ! mark beside the PCI IDE controller. The controler is specifying: Bus 0, device: 1, function: 1 port 1F0-1F7, 3F6, 170-177, 376, E000-E00F, 0 IRQ 14, 15
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this conflict? I tried removing the PCI IDE interface and then installing a ISA IDE interfact (for IRQ: 14, IRQ 15 automatically put a PnP IDE controller there). This seemed to resolve the conflict but then I received a: No Bootable devices have been found.
    If anyone can help out with how to resolve the conflict, or what the No Bootable Devices have been found error it would be greatly appreciated.
    Currently there is a partition set up with NT on it, but I wish to basically get rid of everything on the HD and install Solaris on it. FYI, when I check the HD's in NT it mentions I/0: 1F0-1F7 IRQ 14 and also I/O 170-177 IRQ 15.
    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    When I close down Solais in the CDE I am taken back to the logon screen
    and I turn the PC off.Don't do that. If you simply turn off the PC, the OS has no chance to
    write back cached / modified disk data back to the HDD - this is also the
    reason why solaris has to check the filesystems on the next boot and apparently
    has to repair filesystem defects.
    What you have to do is shutdown the machine, before you can power it off.
    Login as user "root" and use the command
    init 5
    or
    halt
    "init 5" will shutdown system services, by executing commands from
    /etc/rc0.d/K* with argument "stop". Then it'll sync all modified disk blocks to
    the HDD, kills all remaining processes and unmounts all filesystems. In this
    state it's safe to power off the machine!
    "halt" is a quick-and-dirty shutdown. It does not stop system services (the
    /etc/rc0.d/K* commands are not run). But, it syncs all modified disk blocks
    to the HDD, kills all processes and unmounts all filesystems. "init 5" is preferred,
    especially if you have services like a database server running on the machine,
    which needs to be cleanly shutdown. On the other hand, with a default solaris
    installation and no extra services, a simple "halt" should be OK.
    Btw. if multiple users are logged in on the machine, you should also have a look
    at the shutdown(1M) command. "shutdown" sends warnings to the logged in
    users that the machine is about to be shut down, ...

  • Solaris 8 Intel Installation Error: No suitable hard drives found

    HI!
    I was trying to install the free Solaris 8 Intel Edition from CD. All devices were recognized. Afterwards, however, I get the message that no suitable place was found to store the installation image. What should a hard disk look like in order to qualify for Solaris?
    My system contains several hard drives. The first one, were I would like to install Solaris, is empty without any partitions. Under normal cicumstances (Linux, Windows), I would assume that this is the best possible case for a new operationg system...
    Best regards
    Klaus

    Klaus,
    I am having the exact same problem as you. I have the official Solaris CDs from Sun, but am not able to install Solaris on my PC. Installation progresses quite far - including screen, keyboard, time configuration - but then fails saying that it can't find any suitable HDDs.
    I too, have two HDDs, one with Windows XP on it, and the other completely blank. However the Solaris installation does not recognise either of them.
    I've even tried dis-connecting the Windows HDD in case it may have interfered somehow, but it has no affect.
    Please see me message titled 'Intel Installation - Identifying HDDs' which I posted on this forum on 10th November. I haven't received any help on this issue.
    Where do we go from here?

  • SAP installation hangs while installation EHP4 ready on Solaris-Oracle

    Hi,
    I am in a process of installing EHP4 READY on Solaris , with ORacle database.
    at 13 Phase CREATE DATABASE, the installation hangs up
    when i check the log    ora_sql_results.log  it says
       SP2-0310: unable to open file "ora_scr_tmp.sql"
    not getting any clue  i have added group sapinst to user orasid, and also gave full permission to the file

    still no luck,
    please advise.
    Regards,

    Hello Irfan,
    SP2-0310: unable to open file "ora_scr_tmp.sql"
    There are 3 possibilities...
    1. Users and there Group membership is incorrect.
    2. ORACLE_HOME directory permissions are not set or incorrect.
    3. Profile parameters are not set..
    Check this as below:
    1. Check the Users and Group membership as below:
    Users -----------> Primary Groups
    <SID>adm ------> sapsys,oper,dba,sapinst
    ora<SID> -------> dba,oper,sapinst
    2. Check that ORACLE_HOME has 755 permissions and ora<sid>:dba should be the user and owner. You can set it with below command:
    # chmod 755 -R /oracle
    # chown ora<SID>:dba -R /oracle

  • Solaris 10 installation hangs at filesystem preparation stage

    Dear all,
    I am facing problems trying to configure Solaris 10 which was preinstalled on a Sun Ultra 45 workstation.
    Passing the network configuration stage (some errors included) the installation simply hangs while trying to prepare the filesystem, here are the messages I got:
    runCmd error in /usr/sbin/sysidput with output
    Unable to run cmd /usr/sbin/sysidput
    System identification complete.
    mv: cannot access /a/lib/svc/method/fs-root.orig
    Please wait while filesystems are prepared...
    The installation hangs here. I left the process running overnight, but nothing happened, I had to open a new console and shutdown the system. This behaviour is 100% reproducible. Now I will try getting the CDs for installation.
    How can I find out what is happening?
    Thanks in advance

    Hey all,
    rukbat was right - I put the pressure on the Sun frontline support, and got a Sun backline response, below.
    Thanks for the encouragement rukbat! - it paid off.
    ===
    Engineering provided us with a workaround for this problem.
    And our backline team have confirmed this works.
    The workaround is to restore /lib/svc/method/fs-root to slice 0. Here's how:
    Boot from slice 1 into single-user mode:
    ok boot disk:b - shell
    Mount slice 0 on /a. Replace c1t0d0s0 with the appropriate disk address on your machine.
    # mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
    Copy fs-root from slice 1 to slice 0:
    # cp -p /lib/svc/method/fs-root /a/lib/svc/method/
    Optionally, you can check to see if a filesystem was created on slice 3. Again, replace c1t0d0s3 with the correct address on your system.
    # df -k /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3
    If you don't see a valid usage report such as
    Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
    /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 217369929 9 215196192 0%
    go ahead and use newfs to install a filesystem:
    # newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3
    newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3: (y/n)? y
    You can now reboot from slice 0:
    # reboot -- disk:a

  • Solaris 10.4 installer hangs

    I'm trying to install Solaris on my Sony VAIO PCG-FX805 laptop, but the installer hangs after displaying the text about a license.
    The installation check CD that I burned failed at exactly the same point.
    According to the HCL Sony PCG-FX804, which is identical apart from a slightly slower processor, is compatible.
    Can anyone tell me why installation is hanging and what, if anything, I can do to fix it?

    How does one safely recover from this fiasco and "retry"?
    Typically this is a failed cleanup, not a failed install.
    If you force the system off and then restart and boot into the Safe mode (hold down Shift on boot) you can usually clean up the install. When you reach the login screen, don't login, just select reboot. In most cases this is all that is necessary to "clean up" an install.

  • Solaris 10 (10 1/06 ) Hang on install

    I am installing Solaris 10 (for intel) on my HP DL 350 G4 server.(As far as I can tell I meet the requirements from Sun's Hardware Compatibility List). On CD 1 I receive the following:
    "using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information." ( then it hangs forever)
    I downloade the ISO Images (4 cd's) from the sun site for Solaris x64/x86 (Solaris 10 1/06 Operating System). I unziped those files and burned through Roxio. While burning I used the option "Record disc from image".
    How do I fix this problem?

    This is my environment:

    Hi,
    You could find log in the /var/sadm/install/logs directory. Probably it helps you.
    (for example: /var/sadm/install/logs/Sun_Studio_Ceres_software_install.B09161643)
    Unfortunately the SunStudio12 installer could have problems with virtual environments.
    The Sun Studio is distributed as tar.bz2 archive (for latest Express it is wrapped into sh script).
    You could just unpack it. The only difference is that there no packages are created.
    Could this helps you?
    Also if you use OpenSolaris you could install Sun Studio from IPS.
    Thank you

  • 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

    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.

  • Solaris8 Intel Installation Troubles..

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Solaris 8 for Intel on an old HP Vectra VL8i (400 Mhz, 128MB ram). Currently this machine has a screwed up install (*my fault* ) of Linux Mandrake 7.2. I downloaded the Solaris8 binaries off of sun.com and was trying to make a boot diskette on my 2000 adv. server box to then create the bootable .iso cd images (set of 3 cds for install). Once that was done, I had planned to start the install on my Vectra (the one running Mandrake). However, now I realized the "format a: /s" option is no longer supported under 2000. Its not even an option listed under the format help info screen. So I'm in a bit of a pickle...I'm trying to figure out how to get the necessary files on a formatted floppy diskette to make the diskette bootable with CD ROM driver support. I know I need to copy an autoexec.bat, config.sys, and setup the mscdex file to make this work, but I get lost in the details of it all.
    A little later,
    OK, I reinstalled Mandrake on it and its working fine now that way I can start from a clean point. I burnt 2 CDs of the first installation CD for Solari8 intel to test this with..
    According to the informational instructions at Sun.com they recommend using "winzip" to unzip the archive and Adaptec EZ CD Creator to burn a "bootable .iso CD image". Well, I have both those programs and so when I unzipped the .iso file for the installation CD it appeared on my desktop as an adaptec ez cd icon. I opened it up, selected bootable CD (according to cd creator help file to make a bootable cd I need to copy a bootable floppy over to it..), it prompts me for my boot floppy, I insert it works, and creates 2 boot files. Then I add the solaris8.iso for the install cd, and burn the CD. Now, I take it over to my HP Vectra, pop it in, power on, and it loads the oak cd rom driver and sets my floppy as A: and my cdrom as X: I can now enter X: and see the solaris-8.iso file but can't do anything with it.....
    FYI: I have set the CDROM to boot before the HDD in the bios.
    My next attempt after reading your post was to just extract the .iso file from the zip archive and then burn it in ISO format as is...no bootable CD junk per Adaptec's Help file. I do that and pop it in and my computer does nothing, just boots up to linux mandrake because it doesn't start the install when it hits the cdrom first....again, just has the solaris8 install .iso file on it, and this time nothing else on the CD.
    My question is, is there something I am missing regarding the install .iso file? Do I have to extract that to something? Windows views it as an archive.... I have scoured the sun docs and solaris intel install information and not much is on this except "extract using winzip and burn a bootable .iso using adaptec easy cd creator with the .iso file you extracted from winzip". I'm really confused at this point...I know I was trying to load it on top of a Linux Mandrake OS, but it had 4.2 GB of free space. I can't even get the installation process STARTED!!! LOL!
    Thanks for any help...
    PS...I think something is messed up with my HDD now. I went through fdisking my non-dos partitions (linux mandrake) and formatting the HDD from a boot floppy to see if this might help. It didn't. However, now there is supposedly nothing on my HDD. However if I just let it boot up it comes up to a "grub" shell, and has only limited functionality (like 20 commands). So there is obviously something still left on my HDD.
    Oh also, before that I tried using the first Solaris OS .iso file not the INITIAL install .iso I was previously using. This is the .iso you mentioned I should try to use. I am still stuck at the same place...it won't start the install. I don't know if its because something is incorrect with my HDD or if its something I'm missing regarding copying the .iso onto the CD to start with....ANY, and I do mean ANY help is greatly appreciated here!

    Hi, I'm not sure that I understanded your actual problem correctly, but I think that your installation CD's, where you said are .iso files, you messed up. The ISO files are images, like HD partitions archived in one file for portability. You have to burn those images with burner which supports ISO images, in other words, burning software unarchives the ISO image while the burn process, so correctly burned CD contains all ISO images files and directories , not just one big ISO file. I think 'cdrecord' in Linux supports ISO images.
    Sorry my bad english, its not my native language :)

  • ORACLE COLLABORATION SUITE INSTALLATION - HANG PROBLEM

    ORACLE COLLABORATION SUITE - HANG INSTALLATION PROBLEM
    Problem
    On the middletier installation at 97%, when 'Setting up Oracle Calendar server 9.0.4.1.0' - setting envoronment variable 'CALMGRVALUE' 'to 03e4....', the installation hanged. All patches have been applied. I have also checked all of the listener, database (infra and storage) and service (oidmon, oidldapd, ohs, OC4J_DAS) and all are running properly.

    Ihave had the same problems on a SLES 8.
    I don't have access to the patches. But for me helps a very dirty trick:
    run an pstree -p
    example:
    runInstaller(31835)---java(31836)---java(31837)-+-java(31838)

    look for the latest spaning process here pid# 8205
    a strace -p 8205 says:
    "Process 8205 attached - interrupt to quit"
    This Process wants to be interupted... Give him an
    kill -9 pid (here 8205)
    Take a look to your Installer Programm...

  • Searching Oracle 8.1.7 Client for Solaris on x86/Intel

    Hi all,
    I need an Oracle client 8.1.7 running on a Sun Solaris on a Intel/x86 chipset (in VMware)
    Exists there any location to download this client?
    thanx for help!
    Andreas
    Salzburg, Austria

    Are there plans to have a Solaris x86 version downloadable on OTN? I am making the OS decision for a new development server. I would like it to be Solaris x86 but if Oracle is a no-go on Solaris x86, I will have to use Linux or... hate to say it... M$
