I've had the same problem when trying to install it, in my case the disklabel was created with parted and caused the problems. I've relabeld the disk by booting into single user mode from cdrom and executing these commands:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 bs=1024 count=20
# format
(select the disk ('0') and 'label' it)
(verify the label and quit)
# reboot
(installation questions)

OCI 9.0.1 and AMD Athlon Processor

Hello,
I have a client who is using an Oracle 8.1.7 server and is connecting from workstations running OCI 9.0.1 (the 9i R1 client). This is working fine except for on one workstation. The only known difference with this machine is that it is using an AMD Athlon processor (all the others are Intel processors).
The behavior appears to be that for floating point numbers, Oracle/OCI is telling our product that the numbers are integer numbers (no decimals). Thus, my application is not displaying the decimal places (since it is being told there are none).
All other workstations work fine.
Any ideas? I am wondering if there is a known issue with the AMD Athlon processor and the oracle 9.0.1 client...? I am attempting to convince the user to try the 9.0.2 client, but I don't want to waste his time.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Rob

Thanks Adrian.
I'll try to get him to run a straight select, but I don't even know if they installed SQL-Plus on the machine. He hasn't exactly been cooperative (I've asked him to check other areas of my application and he doesn't) so I don't know what he will do.
As for the sqlnet.ora file, I am not sure what to look for in there...? or do you suggest blowing it away and starting over?
Thanks again,
Rob

Very slow performance AMD athlon processor

Hi,
I'm working on Windows 2000 environment with an AMD athlon +3000 processor, and 1.5GB RAM.
I just installed VMware 5.0 and Linux AS 3. As soon as I rebooted the virtual machine and after having installed Linux, the guest OS (Linux) performance is very very poor.
Do you have any suggestion about how to solve this issue?
Thanks
Gilson Sirvas

Where does the Oracle software come into the picture? If this is a generic vmware issue please post on VMware's community forums..
http://www.vmware.com/community/
that will be much more effective.
In general defragmenting the HD is very helpful, also allocating more memory to the Guest OS will make things run faster. look in the vmware.log make sure IO is not taking too long, look for things like:
Jun 12 04:24:11: vmx| SCSI0:0: Command WRITE(10) took 7.347 seconds (ok)
that means that a single IO took 7 seconds, that's very very slow.. move the VM to a faster (internal) HD.. Finally check with vmware, there might be an issue with the AMD processor, not sure...
If you figure it out and the solution is interesting, please take the time and post here so that others can benefit.
good luck,
Saar.

Dreamweaver and AMD Athlon processors

Dreamweaver CS3 load my AMD Athlon 3200+ and AMD Athlon64
3200+ really hard.
Look
here!
Is anybody know about this problem, or it`s only me?

What is your AntiVirus? Is it doing realtime scanning? This
is usually the
cause for such a load.

Solaris 10 AMD Athlon Opteron BIOS microcode patch

I've recently installed Solaris 10 on AMD Opteron machine, AMD64
On boot, I receive a message "BIOS microcode patch not found...erratum 109" or something to that effect.
this is followed by a bunch of "not enough space" comments.
I've tried to find such a patch without success. Clearly, this points out my lack of knowledge. Perhaps someone can provide advice? AMD said "call Sun"

I went back and did a reinstall of OS. I then downloaded and installed all the patches associated with the machine W1100Z. This has made this operational but issues remain. I decided to download the latest supplement.iso (2.5) and install the newer BIOS. The supplement.iso size is 427.89 MB. Unfortunately, at 427.11 MB I receive an error "not enough memory in the folder". I get the same result regardless of the target directory. I do suspect the installing the new boot image will work but the problem of how to get in on the machine remains.
I apologize for the delayed response but I only have so much time. I have considered the purchase of a new machine would be a good choice, with OS already installed, but this one is autographed by James Goslin. An operating machine certainly would be a great SUN advertisement in my office. Plus, the tanking markets have significantly reduced my upgrade capability.
You are probably correct though. Finding the disks may be a problem especially cdrom.
cd c:\cdrom
ls -l
doesn't list anything

How to install webgate on tomcat with solaris 10 AMD 64bits?

Hi Experts
I need to install a webgate on the webserver tomcat, but i found that installation is not possible because thes is not webgate for tomcat, many people recommended install a reverse proxy with Apache or OHS but i can't find a webgate installer on Solaris 10 AMD 64bits.
Exists that version of webgate? or exist a workaround??
what is your suggestion??

Choose the Webserver and the WebGate from the OAM support matix.
If OAM does not have WebGate for the platform where you have tomcat installed, if it is an option, you can install a webserver and WebGate on any OAM supported OS and configure Reverse Proxy. WebGate does not need to be on the same server/machine or on same platform.

Windows 8 64bit not compatible w/ AMD Athlon 64 processor and/or ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard.

Why should I have to go through a plethora of troubleshooting techniques, then have to settle for using the Windows 8/ 32bit install CD, when I have a 64bit system? I think it's probably something in the Windows
8 /64bit code that causes it to fail install w/ AMD Athlon 64bit processor, and/or my ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard. After a lot of hassle I tried the Windows 8 /32bit CD and that seems to work fine. My real question is, why should I have to settle
for 32bit on a 64bit system?

I had the same experience trying to install Window 8 Pro 64bit (Build 9200) on an old XP SP3 32bit system, but I somehow got it working; the full story.
I had two XP Sp3 32 bit systems I wanted to upgrade to Window 8 Pro 64 bit (with the $40 upgrade deal available now). System#1 is: I7 920/Asus P6T deluxe/EVGA 560Ti/3GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/1.44 Floppy/ 12X Bluray burner (pulled the old TV tuner card for
upgrade-incompatible). I ran the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - very few issues (TV Tuner card as mentioned and other software) - bought the upgrade. Downloaded the upgrade from my Win7Pro 64bit system to obtain the 64bit ISO (2.69GB) - burned to DVD. Installed
from DVD; no problems, finished in under 20 minutes - working great (really fast boot!).
System#2 is: Opteron 180/Asus A8N-E/EVGA 275GTX/2GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/ 1.44 Floppy/ 16X DVD RW burner; the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - more incompatible software than system#1, but no incompatible hardware. I had read a number of blogs concerning the issues
others were having with the upgrade failing, so before I purchased, I thought I would run the 64bit install DVD I had (known to work on the other system) to see if it worked. I should note this system was not-in-use and thus I was not worried if the install
failed (I'd just be annoyed!). Ran the install from the DVD; initial splash screen - no spinning dots - waited 15 minutes (by which time no activity on DVD or hard drive) - failure. Rebooted - entered bios (1010) - tried many combinations of settings up to
disabling nearly everything (NVRAID, Legacy USB, Floppy, Audio97- all disabled / moved SATA into every slot (1-4) / tried SATA 150 and SATA 300 (SATA2, slots 3-4) - no change - failure X4 attempts. Now original XP3 installation is corrupted (GRRRR!) - I should
have imaged the drive BEFORE - oh well. Read more about others experience with this seemingly NForce board-related issue. Plan B - I will try install with an IDE (PATA) hard drive (80GB) - failure. Read more - some mention Window 8 installer not "liking" XP
partitions / disks (???); Plan C - Re-partition / format / check 80 GB IDE drive with WDTools - attempted Win8Pro install - failure. Dejected; last attempt before considering Win8Pro 32bit - Plan D - Re-partition / format / check 1 TB SATA 300 drive with SeaTools
(Barracuda 32GB buffer-7200rpm) - run Win8PRO 64bit install from DVD (build 9200) - success! Install took nearly an hour, with 3 reboots to the finish. Specifics (install configuration): 1 TB SATA drive in Slot 4 (SATA2), upgraded memory to 4GB Corsair PC3200
(4 slots filled), Two DVD drives on Primary IDE channel (master and slave), secondary IDE channel - no devices, bios (1010) - NVRAID, Audio97,1394 port,LAN -disabled; USB 2.0, USB Legacy, Floppy - enabled, IDE-Auto), TrendNet USB wireless adapter on USB slot
2 (motherboard), EVGA 275GTX in PCIe slot 1, no other cards. System seems to be performing well (fast boot times, no hangs), but as noted, no sound (I actually forgot to re-enable the Audio97 device in bios; it was 2am). I will see if I can get the Audio97
enabled today; my backup is to add a Turtle Beach Montego DDL PCI card (with the Windows7 64bit driver and run in compatiblity mode). Hope this saga might help some others out - good luck.

MSI K8T Neo Mainboard
AMD 64 Athlon Processor
Corsair TWINx1024-3200c2pt
i experience random system crashes/reboots/lockups and sometimes on restart i get system message from windows xp saying that "this system has recovered from a serious error" and when i click to view the details of this error.. this is what follow..
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini123103-03.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\robby\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml
**windowsusername
i was wondering if anybody else has had any problems with this or perhaps if any of you know what could possibly be causing this.
i have all the latest BIOS drviers, Motherboard drivers, and amd chipset drivers.
can anybody help me with this?
thank you.

ok heres what i know i have corsair 3200 value select with the same system MSI K8T athlon 64 3200
k just like 6 days ago i took out my motherboard and put in the rest of the motherboard risers the one by the ram had a plastic one in it and i put in all brass ones or whatever they are, and it started to bomb the on me drivers not installing correctly and stuff like what you guys are saying so i just took them back out last night and im gonna reinstall windows again to see if it helps( i reinstalled windows XP pro 5 times yesterday by the way trying to make my Radeon 9800XT work properly with the drivers and have 8x and fast write enabled cause that was messing up also) and i finally got it to where i could install most the drivers but 2 of my hard drives are missing so thats why im reinstalling, windows wont allow me to install the driver in any way so it might be somthing with the risers on the board
it was fine when it was missing the 3 on the end where the ide plugs are and i have my ram in slots 0 and 2 but that didnt seem to matter
so thats just my experience to right now

PowerBook G4 Processor upgrade to AMD Athlon QL62?

Hello all, I am in the market for lower priced laptops but I want something durable, ie Apple computers. I saw an apple Powerbook on Craigs for about 280 working with 2gb ram. However it only has a single core 1.5ghz PowerPC G4 processor. My current laptop has an AMD Athlon QL62 dual core processor and I was wondering if the PowerBook would take it (also if it would take my ATA toshiba drive)
PS I mostly just watch youtube and netflix, do some audio/visual work. The most gaming I do is Minecraft. I don't like laptops that get really hot or have fan problems.

Not possible. They are completely different architectures.
If you want something that plays Netflix with Apple's design and operating system, get a MacBook or MacBook Pro with at least a Core2Duo. Used and refurbished Mac buyers should beware of pitfalls of buying used and refurbished*:

The plus side of getting one of those machines, you can also install Windows natively on them.

TS1362 I am running windows xp with all the updates. I have an HP Pavilion with an AMD athlon xp-m processor. I have the most RAM I can install on this PC (1 gig). I also have plenty of disc space(over 60 gig). Why can't I play my .MOV files correctly.

I cannot get the .mov files I recorded on my I-phone 4 to play correctly( i.e. no audio, video jerky at best), on my HP Pavilion laptop with an AMD athlon xp-m, OS=XP, 1 gig ram, plenty of hard drive space >50 gig. Just not enough RAM or am I missing something? I have updated all I can(Quicktime, I-tunes etal). Any ideas?

My first thought when reading your post ( video jerky) is that the CPU doesn't have enough horse power? What is the GHz of the AMD athlon? 1.8 GHz would be right on the edge with video. And where the computer will max out at 1 Ghz of RAM indicates the laptop is older and the CPU probably as well. 1 GHz of RAM maybe low on today's computers but would not be an issue if the CPU was perhaps 2.8 GHz. The audio is less demanding by far on CPU's than video, so that could be a codec?

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.
