Are you trying to install Solaris 9 onto a server that is already running Windows XP and to keep Windows XP too?
You'll need to create a partition on which to install Solaris, - search for Solaris Windows Dual Boot on docs.sun.com for more information.

Reboot in Installation in Solaris 8 (intel)

I am attempting to install Solaris8 on a new machine. Everything goes exactly as described in the
installation guide up until the "Boot Solaris" screen. After the messages:
"Configuring /dev and /devices
Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information."
the screen blanks and the machine reboots. I was expecting to be prompted to create some disk
partitions. Is there something I need to do to the disk drives first?
Thanks,
Abdul Wahid Khalil

Let me guess, there's a 3com 3c905c (or equivalent) in your
machine, using the new asic that is not supported by the solaris
elxl driver?

Solaris 8 Intel Installation - stuck at initial network setup

Hi !
We installed Solaris 8 Intel (Europe/ger) on a PIII and are stuck in the
network config. It asks for systemname, ip,subnet, domain, dns.. (our settings are ok for sure)
but when whe click the confirm-button it reads some error message
(translated):
'Error during system configuration. Go back and check your settings'
An interesting fact:
The net seems to work, the machine's got its ip and we can ping it from outside.
WE JUST CAN'T FINISH THE SETUP TOOL (Interactive Install).
What we already did is configure the gatway in etc/defaultrouter, and
with route add default. The router is in the same network, and it's ok.
System:
PIII/700 on
ASUS P3BF
SCSI Adaptec 29160 (driver found on http://www.adaptec.com)
ATI Rage Pro 3D
3C905B FastEthernet-XL
(By the way, the NIC works fine, didn't expierience any problems)
Thank you in advance !

Oh. One more thing. You may want to install this system
as a standalone system, i.e. do NOT configure it as a networked
system. Then, once all installation is complete, then go back and
change to network config.
Try this. Thx. Tushar Patel.

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?

Solaris 8 (Intel) Installation problems

I have not been successful to install Solaris 8 (Intel version).I am
installing from the (Install CD) and I get to the Solaris Boot screen that
says:
Select one of the identified devices to boot the Solaris Kernel and
choose F2 to continue. Solaris identifies 2 IDE Disk Drives (on Primary Controller),
a third IDE HDD (Secondary master) and the CD ROM as a slave on the Secondary
Controller. When I choose the CD ROM as the Boot disk, the system hangs
forever!. Any suggestions?
P.S: The installation CD contains the following:
image = 550MB
(.VOLUME) : 47 bytes
ADD_INSTALL_CLIENT: 54.5KB
BOOT: 0 bytes
COPYRIGHT: 5.3KB
MODIFY_INSTALL_SERVER = 3.37KB
The total of these files is : 93KB
Dose this seem correct, having in mind that the image file is 550MB
Thanks,
Kamel Elchazli

At the "(b)oot or (i)nterpreter" prompt, type:
b kadb -v
This loads the Solaris kernel under kernel debugger (kadb) control.
Apparently your system crashes with a kernel panic, and when kadb
is loaded, kadb will catch the kernel panic error and drop you into the
debugger so that you can read the panic messages.
The "-v" option enables verbose kernel messages, which might be
useful to diagnose the problem.

Hi!
I also had the same exact problem during the install. The only way that I could procede was to tell it that I didn't want to install networking. Now when I boot, it tries to load the elx0 driver (for my 3Com 3c509b) and brings the following message, "SIOCSLIFFFLAGS cannot assigm requested address." I have checked the Irq/IO setting in the hardware configuration agent and everything seems to be correct. To top it all off, once I logon if I enter "ifconfig elx0 192.168.1.2 up" then everything works fine. I tried to forceload the elx0 module in /etc/system to see if the module just wasn't loaded early enough but this did not help. Any ideas of what else I should check?
TIA

Solaris 8 (Intel) safe installation ?

Hello,
I'm going to install Solaris 8 (Intel) on the disk with an existing
installation of NT 4.0. I read somewhere that this can be dangerous because Solaris instalation can damage partition table because it creates a small partition in the beginnig of the
disk... Can you help me how to install it without partition table
(and even partition ?) being damaged ?
Thanks

Sure, just back up the other OSs on that disk (make sure
that you're able to restore the other OSs from backup
in case of problems :-).
Once everything is backed up, try to install solaris.
If it works, fine...

Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 Install problem

When I boot with the Install CD (Solaris 8 Software 1/2),
in the next screen of install:
Select the type of instllation you want yo perform:
1 Solaris Interactive
2 Custom Jumpstart
After selecting one of the two options it appears the next error:
Booting kernel/unix...
do_relocate: bad strndx 3275
do_relocations:/kernel/genunix do_relocated failed
Krtld:error during initial bad/link phase
P.D Im using the Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 booting from CD.
In fact, If I use the Solaris 8 Installation CD theres is no problem on booting the kernel from the CD.
Any Idea?
Thanks.

Kalpesh - do you work in support? Most users don't have the luxury
of spare media or systems to experiment with:-)
Perhaps the original poster could tell us the exact HW config so
others can offer suggestions?

Solaris 8 (Intel) Install

I just downloaded solaris 8 and i stuck the cd back into the drive on one of my windows machines and there were only a couple files that werent that big. When it burned it said it burned 550mb and it took long enough so is it just that windows cant see the other files? Also how do I create a boot floppy for Solaris 8 because my cdrom drive wont boot of the cd. One more question is the installation of Solaris 8 in a dos like feel or does it actually have a GUI installer like Red Hat 7.1 and above?
Thanks in advance

Well you need at least two cds to install - Install CD 1 of 2 and install cd 2 of 2. There is another install cd that I think is for upgrading installed systems and one cd of documentation. Each file you download is an ISO CD image file. That file is copied sector by sector to the writable CD. Unless the cd you have contains a Solaris directory, its not cd 1 of 2. I am assuming you paid to download the software since the free download for Intel is no longer available - so I am not familiar with the selections or methods of delivery being used.
Images for the DCA diskette is at
http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/dca_diskettes/
along with instructions on creating a diskette from the diskette image.
The installation starts with a text based hardware install and once you select the interactive install, the GUI interface comes up.
