Installation problem Solaris 10 6/06 on Supermicro PDSMi mainboard

Have anyone success Solaris 10 x86 6/06 installation of Supermicro PDSMi mainboard?
I booted system on PXEBoot from network installation server. Kernel loads, but hangs after:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_118855-14 32-bit
Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
I've also try disable ACPI, but no success.
Have any ideas?
Thanks!

Ok.. after more testing i found following:
- When ACPI is disabled, system hangs forever. I run kernel debugger (kmdb) and set:
moddebug /W0x800000000
:c
... lot module debugging ...
load 'fs/fifofs'
(and hangs here).
- When ACPI is enabled, system boots up and OpenWindows installer ask about install language. But now keyboard+mouse doesn't work anymore.

Installation problems (Solaris 10 3/05 release, on x86 system)

Late last year, i recieved a Solaris 10 installation DVD case, containing the intallation DVDs for SPARC and x86 systems.
after finally getting another hard drive (the other was too full), i tried booting the computer off the x86 disc, to install.
it went to the light grey screen where it asks for installation mode, i chose default interactive installation (option 1).
this is where the problem starts. It appears that before beginning the interactive installer, it gathers information about the computer (such as USB ports, 100mb/s connection, etc)
I have read this process should only take a few seconds.
BUT, after 2 hours, it appears to have locked up after displaying "Skipping RTSL 0"
(it may not be rtsl, but something similar, and it was after detecting the 100mb/s connection)
My question is: how do i get it to work so i can install Solaris, without having to wait those 2 hours that should only be a few seconds?
thx to those who answer, thanx
(ps: i have had no previous experience with solaris)

Installation Problem: Solaris 8 on a HP ProLiant DL360G3

When i try to install Solaris 8 02/02 on a ProLiant DL360G3 (3GHz, 2GB RAM, 18GB-SCSI) with a Broadcom NetExtreme Gigabit-NIC 5703 , the following error message appears when Solaris is trying to boot for the first time from cd:
Boot panic: traptyp e, error 0 at 1357d9
cr0: 80000011, cr2: 8, cr3: 17d000

Entering boot debugger:
[1357d9]
Maybe a driver problem?? I have tried all drivers i found (from HP or Broadcom�s Website), but it doesn�t solve the problem.

Hold down the STOP key and also press the A key to get the Sparc 20 to come to the ok prompt. At the ok prompt type boot cdrom
press enter and away you go. Solaris will 'at a later time' ask you if you want to format the drive.
One Note: Sometimes the Sparc can be a pain to get to the ok prompt. Watch your keyboard lights ie: Num lock, Caps lock etc. right after they get tested and flash, press stop and A. Sometimes you have to hold down the stop and press the A key by itself. Hope this helps.

Oracle10g Installation problem Solaris 10

I have tried to install Oracle 10G on Solaris 10 but it failed at Starting Database Control, So for fresh installation I have uninstalled Oracle and by mistake removed the oraInventory directory also.
Now when I run ./runInstaller getting the following error:
./runInstaller
You do not have sufficient permissions to access the inventory '/opt/oracle/app/oracle/oraInventory'. Installation cannot continue. Make sure that you have read/write permissions to the inventory directory and restart the installer.: Permission denied.
Please help me in resolving this.

1. Do you have oraInst.loc file under /var/opt/oracle ? If you don't have other installation on the server, remove this file.
2. make sure oracle user is owner of '/opt/oracle/app/oracle'

Installation Problem Solaris 10

Hello,
I downloaded th ex86 iso image from sun and burned it to a dvd. Now I try to install Solaris on a VMware.
The virtual machine comes up and grub starts, but there is no start menu.
Only the follwoing lines:
GNU GRUB version 0.95 ...
[Minimal bash -like line editing is supported ..]
Any ideas what's going wrong or what do I have to do ?
Thanks
Uli

I had all kinds of hanging issues trying to get S10 8/07 to install in a VMWare VM (Fusion to be most specific). Ultimately, it was because there just wasn't enough RAM assigned to the VM, even though I had more than the minimum required assigned.
When I assigned 768MB to the VM, the install continued through without error.
Good luck...

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.
Regards,
S.

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 on Intel STL2 server board - installation problem

Hi,
I try to install Solaris 8 (4/01) on Intel STL2 server board (P III 866 MHz, SDRAM 512 ECC Reg, Adaptec AIC7899 Dual Channel-one Ultra160/LVD channel, Intel PRO/100+ Fast Ethernet Controller, ATI Rage* IIC SVGA) - without success.
It recognizes all devices but after I choose Solaris Interactive installation (from CD labeled Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition) it displays:
Booting kernel/unix...
SunOS Release 5.8 Version...
then reboots after 2 seconds.
Since Intel STL2 board appears in the HCL for Solaris 8 I have struggled a while with the problem. I have not found neither post nor driver update information concerning this issue on the Solaris' related Web sites.
Finally, I found the very strange specification update info of STL2 board, published by Intel:
"13. Sun* Solaris* 8 installation issues
PROBLEM: Sun Solaris 8 cannot be installed on the STL2 server board with any BIOS version later than BIOS Release 1.1, Build 15. The system reboots during install and therefore the installation cannot be completed.
IMPLICATION: Installation of Sun Solaris 8 cannot be completed on an STL2 server board running any BIOS release later than BIOS Release 1.1, Build 15.
WORKAROUND: Sun Solaris* 8 will successfully install on the STL2 server board with BIOS Release 1.1, Build 15."
My BIOS release on the STL2 board is 1.7. It's too new to install Solaris 8 !?!
I am unable to get an old STL2 model with BIOS 1.1. Is there a way to update anything in the Solaris 8 in order to set it up on the new model of Intel STL2 server platform?
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Matt

The problem has been resolved.
I got the older BIOS 1.1 Build 15 for Intel STL2 from Intel Internet Support. After I installed BIOS 1.1 instead of BIOS 1.7 had no problem with installation of Solaris 8.

Glad you're sorted. Can you confirm that it is 4.10.903 you are using

Thanks so much for this.I am running a pair of Sun Ray 170's on my desk

This looks like a known problem with TTA 4.00.903 and some Solaris
patches which were distributed at about the same time. However, you say
you're using 4.10.903, and as far as I know the problem should be fixed
in that version.
You could try the workaround described in

for "tta_pkgadd" on that page and follow the instructions given there.

Installation problem with solaris 10

Hi
While installing solaris 10 x86 I skipped the installation of solaris 2 of 3 CD . After than I installed solaris 3 of 3 CD. When the installation is completed I cannot find some important commands like vold & volume management commands.
Now how can I install solais 2 of 3 cd as the OS is not recognizing CDROM at all.Please suggest me a
solution.
Thanks

The easiest way is re-installing everything from the start, but be sure to back up all data before you do so. It should only take about an hour including configuration process.
Regardless, I'm also interested in knowing any supplemental method. Though, have you tried the method of installing additional applications of Java(TM) System yet? It's odd that you could skip the 2nd CD, but I assume you customized the package selection then?

Installation error Solaris 10-u6-ga1

I must be missing something really obvious on the installation of Solaris 10 U6. I've come up against the error message upon manually partitioning, and using UFS. After the install the error is:
Solaris 10 10 software installation partially failed
Solaris 10 packages partially installed
SUNWlur
Then at reboot it loops and loops
If I install using ZFS no problem. Unfortunately I have to use UFS for this install.
I pulled down the sol-10-u6-x86-ga1 dvd and installed on an Vmware to see what I'd get. If I manually setup the drive, it fails to with the same error.
Here is my drive layout both sparc server and vmware(x86)
/ = 10 Gb
swap = 10 Gb
/etc = 10 Gb
/usr = 10 Gb
/var = 10 Gb
/export=remaining drive space.
I'm I missing something obvious?
thanks
bill

There should be more information in the install log about why the one package failed. If you search for the package name in the log you should be able find it. Then that might help determine whether the package can be installed on its own, possibly fixing your reboot issue.
