Install Solaris 8, Intel platform

I have the two installation CD:s OK. Installation starts OK. I can chose "Solaris interactive", but
here comes the problems: a lot of (all?) undefined symbols like:
/kernel/drv/ipsecesp: undefined symbol:' xxx'
and the boot process stops with "tmpfs mount failed".
What to do ?

Where did u get your oracle817 version for intel solaris?
in cdrom top dir, the runInstaller is just a shell script, and
there is a binary program in install dir, try to run that
program and give out the result?

I don't think you will have many problems in this platform, but I'm not 100% sure.
What I recommend you is to get the VMWare and try there. VMWare is a software where you can create a virtual machine running under windows. In this virtual machine you could install solaris 10 (and any other OS you want to test in your computer). I have my Solaris 10 running under VMWare with excellent results (Laptop with Intel Celeron processor)... where I have VMWare installed in Windows!

Building mod_jk module on Solaris 10 (Intel Platform)

Hi,
I am trying to build a mod_jk module on a Sun Blade 1500 (Solaris 10 Intel Platform). I downloaded the most recent tomcat connector I could find (jakarta-tomcat-connectors-current-src.tar.gz) and have attempted to build it, but I have received the following error:

Anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

I'm not familiar with what you are trying to accomplish,
I'm more of a hardware person, but...
Sun Blade 1500 systems are NOT x86 architecture.
They are UltraSPARC-IIIi systems.
Could that be contributing to what you see?

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 execute Java program in Solaris 8 (Intel Platform).

Hello All,
I have installed Solaris 8 on my Intel based PC. JDk 1.1 and JDK 1.2 is installed by default. When I compile any Java applet or Application, it successfull complies but when I try run that applet or application (java Appletname or applicationname), It gives the error message .... File not found...Check whether file exist in the directory or not.
Can someone tell me the reason of this error and how to correct it. Where to set the CLASSPATh etc. under Solaris 8 for successful compilation and run of programs. I do not have any problem under Windows/2000.
Thanks in advance,
Amoid

Hello All,
I have installed Solaris 8 on my Intel based PC. JDk
1.1 and JDK 1.2 is installed by default. When I
compile any Java applet or Application, it successfull
compliesI will assume that you executed this command:
#javac <java source code filename>.java
In order to find out which version of the javac you are using to compile the program, execute the following:
#/usr/bin/which javac
The output will tell the exact path to the javac binary file.
but when I try run that applet or application
(java Appletname or applicationname), It gives the
error message .... File not found...Check whether file
exist in the directory or not.You probably have not set the current directory to your environment variable PATH for the Unix shell that you are using.
You can do the following:
#java ./<standalone application or applet name>
Can someone tell me the reason of this error and how
to correct it. Where to set the CLASSPATh etc. under
Solaris 8 for successful compilation and run of
programs.In the shell environment settings file. Which Unix shell are you using? Bourne, Korn or C?
I do not have any problem under Windows/2000.
Thanks in advance,
AmoidHTH.

You've selected the wrong boot device.
You have to select your CDROM device to boot solaris from. This will run the installer from CDROM
which prepares your HDD. Once solaris is installed on your HDD, you can select the HDD as the
device to boot solaris from.

Hello,
You need to rename the 3 large files with an .iso extension to the end after you unzip them. For example, rename the first file from sol-8-1_01-install-fcs-bin-ia-ml to sol-8-1_01-install-fcs-bin-ia-ml.zip. Then you need to use EZ CD Creator to create a CD from an image file.

Solaris 8 intel platform problem

I configured a wrong vga/video and monitor for my solaris. Now when it restarts, it comes at a place with message "Starting Desktop login at display 0" and hangs at this place. I can telnet my system from any other system and can work from there but cannot work from the original solaris machine as it hangs here. Now I want to change the VGA options , how can I do that. IS there any option which I use when solaris boots up?
KIndly guid

Hi
Initailly when the Solaris is booting up , it would prompt you to press "Esc" if any of the hardware is changed and waits apprx. 5 sec. At this point if you press "Esc" key it would start the loading of the drivers and you would be able to see the screens where you can change the VGA drivers and also add any third party drivers if any.
Hope that helps.

Solaris 8 (Intel) Crash & Burn

Having troubles installing Solaris 8 (Intel Platform) on a Gateway PC (PIII 733 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 20 GB HD). Seems no matter what I do, using web start or using interactive install, the screen goes all white and the system hangs just after the following information is displayed during the boot process:
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic-xxxxxxx 32-bit
Copyright 1983-2000 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Then next thing displayed is a cursor flashing in the upper left corner of the screen with the entire screen being white. I never get the next line as indicated in the install docs ("Configuring /dev and /devices").
I have tried using DOS fdisk to create a 24 MB partition set active and formatted. That seems to work fine to boot into DOS, but I can't seem to get past this part of the install.
Any suggestions?
...Steve

Just an idea:
After installing the latest kernel + usb patches a system built around
an ASUS P2B showed similar behaviour: Soon after the screen is
cleared during the boot sequence the machine hung. Before installing
these patches the machine was running without problem.
The problem was a disabled USB IRQ in the bios setup. The system has
no USB peripherals connected, so the USB IRQ was disabled in the
BIOS (in an
attempt to free some IRQs - which is actually nonsense in a PCI
system; some old habit from good old ISA PCs). Re-enabling the
USB IRQ in the BIOS fixed the solaris boot problem. Probably the
solaris 8 USB drivers had detected the USB bus and started scanning
for devices there; and that hung the machine due to non working USB controller IRQs.
Maybe you have a similar problem...

I didn't see anything on the Sun site, but the disk arrived with my Solaris media. I have installed it on one machine (you need to create the "oracle" user id, the "dba" group, and you must set the tunable parameters for shared memory to install the software and example database.)
I tried to install a second machine and the Oracle installer terminates half way through without errors. I'm still working that issue.
