Solaris 8 x86: How to install on disk connected via IDE controller

I have a PC with a Pentium 4 processor and the following IDE disks:
Disk 1 and 2 at the primary IDE bus.
Disk 3 connected via Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller.
I want to install Solaris 8 Intel x86 edition on Disk 3, but the installation
program only lists disks 1 and 2 as locations for install.
Is there any method how to get Solaris 8 installed on Disk 3?
Thank you very much for your help!
Thomas

Hello Michael,
thanks for the information.
There is no support for the Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller listed.
Also, searching the internet for a private developed driver was not
successful.
Anyway, I have tried to make a test installation on a hard disk
connected to the primary IDE controller and I detected a lot of
further installation problems with my equipments because of
missing or not properly identified drivers.
So I think I have to make further investigations on concepts
how to get Solaris 8 run in the best way.
Thanks again for your help,
Thomas

How to install Solaris 8 as the third OS?

Hi all
I'll appreciate anyone who could guide me how to install Solaris 8 in my PC which runs on an Intel Pentium III
Currently, I've installed Windows 2000 on the first partition, Red Hat 7.2 on the second partition. Only the first partition is primary, the second is logical partition. However, I don't use LILO as the boot manager. I use Window's boot manager instead.[I modified the boot.ini a little bit]
Now, I want to install Solaris 8 which can be installed on a Intel processor, on the third partition. However, I heard that it's very difficult to install Solaris so that I really need your advices from all of you. Thanks a million!
Best regards,

Hi,
I am also dealing with the same. For these three to sit, in your case, create a partition from fdisk of Linux which can be identified by solaris8. Then when you startoff installing solaris8, the OS should be in a position to capture that partion. If that won't happen, using Solaris8 fdisk is very dangerous. You can not preserve your old data. Try this way.

Install solaris via hyper terminal

Hi,
I just got my new ultra 5 box and I was wondering what type of cable and hyper terminal settings I need in order to get this thing rolling.
The type of cable I used before was a null modem cable db9F --> db9F. Then I read I needed db9 --> db25. So I went out and look for db9 --> db25 only to find that there wasn't any male to male cables ... any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,

Dear friends,
I have the same problem...
I have a VGA adapter in my sparc 5, but my 14" monitor doesn't show nothing (only a new MAG 17" but it's not mine).
So, I switched to HyperTerminal.
I made more than 10 Null modem cables, with all the options, but I could not see nothing and I cannot install my mchine.
The explanation of the cable here, I didn't understand so good, albeit that, I make the cable but it didn't work.
Does anybody knows what to do, step by step, or where can I read it?
Thank you very much!
Ilan.

How to install Solaris from a Windows computer

I have recently received the Solaris operating system on DVD. The only computer that I have that has a DVD player is my laptop. It is however connected to the desktop that I wold like to install the system onto by a switch. I am not sure how to go about installing solaris over the LAN onto the desktop. This is the current setup.
The desktop has Ubuntu with no direct connection to the internet. The Laptop has a wireless connection to the net with Internet connection sharing enabled. The two are connected via a switch and the laptop acts as a router to assign the ip address for the desktop. I would like to know how I can Install Solaris to the desktop over the network from the windows laptop.
Please help!
Thanks.

Yes it does. I did that before but I could never get the image to boot after recording it to cd.
Thanks for the reply by the way. I actually found some articles that I am reading through at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5504/6mkv4nh3p?a=view
This seems to be going in the right direction. My next question I guess will be how to boot the client from the network. I am not sure how to map the boot procedure to the server. Any ideas are welcome.

How to install packages on client via VPN

Hello
I have a number of users that use laptops and mostly connect to the office network via an OSX VPN Server. I can see when they connect, copy files to them and control their screens.
I do not seem to be able to install packages to them. The ARD console goes through the motions but the package never gets to the remote end and is never installed.
Can anyone shed any light on this? From what I can tell this may be a multicast issue - if this is true how can I get the VPN server to route the multicast traffic, or alternatively how can I stop ARD from using multicast for these clients?
Any help appreciated. If I can not use the package installation system it will make managing these users quite difficult.
Kind regards
Jason

Hi Jason,
Have you found anything else that can't be done or is acting strangely using ARD with those connecting via VPN? Another question that comes to mind is the up and down speed of both your office's connection to the net and that of the clients connecting in. You said that you can copy files to them--does that work with large files as well? Have you tried copying the install package rather than installing it to see if that works?
I ask all of this because I've found in my support role with VPN clients, that viewing/controlling the screen, copying small files, chats, and alerts all work fine. But a large install package? I don't even bother. Sure, it works locally, but the upload speed of the company's internet connection isn't fast enough to do large copies or installs remotely. (Which is why I'm wondering about copying a large file.) I usually get a "Communication Error".

How to install Solaris 10 with Win XP on 2nd Hard Drive

hi everyone,
I'm totally new to Solaris. As an enthusiast, I wants to install Solaris 10 on my Win XP PC's 2nd Hard Drive(40GB, empty) from Solaris 10 DVD.
I need help from how to format 2nd Hard Drive to how can I configure the PC so it asks me which OS to load every time.
I will highly appreciate everyone's help as I've just joined SDN. Many Thanx in advance, Jags

Happened upon this post while searching for an answer to something else and figured I would give my 2 cents on what you are trying to do so as to offer you some other ideas, as in stuff I have done personally in similar situations, just in case the other suggestions don't work out (and to avoid repartitioning your main hdd if it is your ONLY computer with an OS you have available).
Assuming you have a standard tower or mid-tower with at least 1 free 5 1/4" bay open, and if your motherboard doesn't support booting from a slave drive, and if you prefer a hardware solution so your OS installs are isolated from each other to be certain no corruption happens, like I personally do*. Then you may consider a pair of key lock internal hard drive racks (newegg search "hard drive rack ide" or sata). You would need at least 1 free 5 1/4" bay for the rack mount, then place the hard drives in their housings, each set as master, and you can stick in which ever OS drive you want, turn the key, then boot up (I recommend storing drives not in use in some large anti-static bags for protection). If you have 2 open slots, like I did on my tower, then you can connect both to the same cable and leave both in at all times. Just make sure ONLY 1 drive is keyed "on" at a time, or else you will get errors due to duplicate masters set. Also make sure you ONLY turn the keys when the system is OFF, the racks do NOT make the drives hot-swappable, it is only to offer an easier solution for using multiple hard drives on one PC so you don't have to open the case all the time and potentially damage the pins or the drives when switching them out.. Also you may need longer cables depending on the motherboard controller placement and the size of your tower, 80 wire 40pin if you are dealing with IDE (when you get longer I've noticed less 80 wire and more slower 40 wire cables). As always when dealing with the actual hardware, be extra careful, make sure power is off and PC is unplugged, touch the PC power supply if you don't have better solutions such as anti-static mat/wrist band, etc. You probably know all of this, but just making sure.
*I lost a lot of data one of the first times I tried an open source OS many years ago (some Linux distro, I forget which), I tried to repartition my windows 98 drive, it worked fine for about a week booting between the two, then most my personal windows files suddenly were random sizes and random folders ended up full of garbage files with garbage file names among other peculiar things.. If I partition a drive I generally only do it BEFORE I put data on it or install OS's.. or at least make CERTAIN that I have adequate methods for restoring my OS and personal files (such as imaging my OS install to a larger drive temporarily, etc)..
Anyway, was just offering some possible alternatives to repartitioning your main OS drive.. -TCP

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.

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.

How to install Solaris 8 on IBM Thinkpad T20 laptop

Hello,
I would like to install Solaris 8 on my IBM Thinkpad T20 laptop and I am facing two kinds of problems:
-1- I cannot boot on the Matshushita DVDROM which is shipped with : i have got a boot panic ;
-2- My SAVAGE/IX 8MB Video Card is not recognised.
ANY HELP APPRECIATED
[email protected]

Hi There,
Although laptops are not officially supported, I am aware that another
customer managed to install their system over a network connection
due to local CDROM issues.
This may be something to try if you have access to another SOlaris System with a local CDROM.
As for the Video Card, I have not found any records of anyone
else attempting to use this particular chipset and so you may be
limited to just standard VGA in this case.

Installing Solaris 10 on VIA EPIA PE10000G mobo + VIA C3 Nehemiah processor

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I recently purchased a VIA EPIA PE10000G motherboard with a VIA C3 Nehemiah 1.0GHz EBGA processor (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=451).
I am trying to install Solaris 10 08/07 and running into problems with the processor being recognized. In my research, I've found some posts, but alas, I seem to have come to a dead end. Here's what I've done:
Downloaded Solaris, fired up the installation. When the kernel starts booting I get:
"486 processor detected this processor not supported by solaris"
After searching on this error, I conculded that by doing the following, I should be able to get around this problem:
perl -pi -e 's#GenuineIntel#CentaurHauls#g' solaris_cd_1.iso
in order to swap out the vendor string for the processor.
Next, I booted with b -kv to see what would happen. While it seems that I got further along, I now get the following:
"processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction"
and I get dropped into the kernel debugger which I am not familiar with.
I looked for an exact match for this error in Google and came up with this page as the only hit:
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/i86pc/vm/hat_i86.c?v=OPENSOLARIS
Even though it says OPENSOLARIS in the URL, I bet it's the same piece of code that I'm hitting when I try to install Solaris 10:
if ((x86_feature & X86_CX8) == 0)
panic("Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction");
So my guess is that either x86_feature or X86_CX8 is false, I'm figuring it's the latter since the error message has looks similar to that variable.
Furthermore, I see that the error message exists in several places on the original installation CD:
strings solaris_cd_1.iso |grep cmpxchg8b
Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
cmpxchg8b
cmpxchg8b
cmpxchg8b
cmpxchg8b
I'd really like to get Solaris 10 on this motherboard because I'd like to use it as a small firewall where space is at a premium.
Might anyone have some further suggestions as to what I can do to get this to work? From what I've seen, I think it is possible, it's just a matter of changing something more to the disk image.
thanks,
Geoprge

I did some more research and found a pdf on my processor and here's what I came up with:
0 = The CPUID instruction does not report the presence of the CMPXCHG8B instruction
(CX8 = 0). The instruction actually exists and operates correctly, however.
1 = The CPUID instruction reports that the CMPXCHG8B instruction is supported
(CX8 = 1).
From what I read here http://www.via.com.tw/download/mainboards/6/13/VIA_C3_EBGA%20datasheet110.pdf it would seem that the default is CX8=0 and I'm guessing that if it were 1, then I'd at least get past this error message.
Maybe there's a way to trick the installation image by changing the code that checks for this value similar to what I did for the vendor processor ID string? Seems to me that if I find where it checks for the CX8 value and reverse the logic, the installation would continue...

ITS 6.20 Install not allowing connections via URL
