Installing Solaris 10 x86??.

Hi Folks,
I am new to Solaris and have been trying to install a copy of Sol 10 x86 to VMware workstation 5.5. When I start the VM it boots the solaris dvd fine and
then the following happens....
Loading Stage 2.......
(The screen hangs at this for about 2-3 minutes)
Then I get the grub command prompt.
grub>
I presume I have to pass some commands to grub to install solaris though I really havent a clue. Any information or pointers would be much appreciated on this one. If I hit the tab key I get a list of grub commands though dunno which to use?.
Cheers in advance...
Barry.

I presume I have to pass some commands to grub to
install solaris though I really havent a clue. No. What it means is that grub has loaded, but it wasn't able to mount the root filesystem and read the configuration file. Otherwise you'd have the grub boot menu at this point with several choices.
Any
information or pointers would be much appreciated on
this one. If I hit the tab key I get a list of grub
commands though dunno which to use?.Something serious has happened. Unfortunately, I don't have any good techniques for how best to proceed at this point.

Please suggest the fastest way to install Solaris x86 PC 30 boxes

I've already tested one and it's successfully installed.
I have to install 30 boxes , all are same spec.
Please advise the fastest procedure to install.
Note : There is no sparc machine.

Only problem with imaging a Solaris x86 box is that your machines will end up with the same hostid (which is pseudo-randomly generated at Solaris installation time for x86). This may, or may not, be a problem, depending on what commercial software you use...
To avoid this, you have to use jumpstart, or do some serious hacking.

Solaris x86 on HP pavilion laptop

I am trying to install solaris x86 version on my pavilion zt1000. The solaris install cd boots and then crashes with the following "boot panic: trap type 0 error 0 at 13bd7f" and bunch of register information.
I have tried 3 different CDs and even tried creating a bootable floppy disk. The floppy disk booting just hangs at the solaris boot manager screen.
Any ideas ???
To start with can solaris be installed on a HP pavilion
Thanks for any info anybody can provide.
Sriram

I do remember that everyone who installed on a laptop had to use an external keyboard during the installation. While I dont have any info specific to the HP, search the forum for past laptop posts - someone has probably had a similar issue and take a look at these pages.

Can't install Solaris 10 on Parallels

I want to use Solaris 10 to develop applications, but I want to keep Windows. I thought about using Parallels. I bought and installed it, and I downloaded all of the 5 Solaris 10 for x64 iso's. I am trying to install it on Parallels, with the guest OS selected as Solaris 10 (of course), and I am setting it to boot from the first disc ISO. I get these following screens- the Parallels start screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/0.jpg ), followed by the Solaris boot screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/1.jpg ). Then I select Solaris, and get the following screens- (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/2.jpg ). Then, the underscore at the end is replaced by the text "Detecting Devices", and then a whole bunch of text pops up on the screen which goes down to the bottom, and this is the ending screen (screenshot at http://www.freewebs.com/fourt/3.jpg ). After that, from the Solaris 10 installation instructions, it says I should get another option screen, but it just returns to the Parallels start screen that we got in the beginning. The whole set of screens then starts again. I have selected the other Solaris boot options, but with the same result. I am using the x64/x86 CD's, and I have tried the SPARC CD's without it even recognizing it as a boot CD.
As an ending note, I know in the screenshots it looks like I have Windows Vista, but I am running Windows XP SP2 with some design changes to make it look like Vista.
Thank you in advance for your assistance, and if there is any other information I can give you, I would be happy to oblige.

Hi, I had a similar problem when I tried to Install Solaris X86 on an HP Proliant DL586g2. You'll probably find the problem Is that you need to Install some drivers first to enable the Installation. If you need more specific details I can probably find a guide on how to do this. But I'm certain It Is possible to run Solaris on the Dell It just might take a bit of perseverance.
Good luck

Installing Solaris 10 from a SCSI DVD driveand a Tekram DC-390U adapter

I'm tryng to install Solaris x86 from a SCSI DVD drive wth a Tekram DC-390U adapter (DVD version downloaded from the sun website).
When the computer boots from the DVD the Solaris Configuration Assistant is run and ask me to choose the device which I want to boot from. The problem is the list only contains my hard drive and a CD drive, but not the DVD drive.
I guess Solaris doesn't include any driver for that specific SCSI adapter, which I find quite surprising as any old Linux or *BSD works fine with it. And the card is also listed in the device list Solaris has found while probing the system.
I tried to download drivers from the Tekram webiste but they are limited to Solaris 8. I didn't try them 'cause it takes me so much time to get a floppy drive up and running...
PS : Installing on a VirtualPC 2004 guest works fine, but it's so slow...

I downloaded the latest version of Solaris 10, and that solved the problem of the continual reboots. Now the keyboard doesn't work, but that's a different problem.

Solaris x86 11/06 hung on Acer TravelMate 8210 Laptop

I've just installed Solaris x86 11/06 on my Acer TravelMate 8210 laptop. The installation was completed successfully. However, when the system is rebooted into Solaris, it is always hung at:
�Use is subject to license terms.�
This problem happens with both of the 32-bit and 64-bit kernel. While booting with the option �-kv�, the system always stops at:
�PCI Express-device: pci8086,2448@1e, pci_pci0
pci_pci0 is /pci@0,0/pci8086,2448@1e�
I�ve also tried to boot with the �-s� option, but it doesn�t help.
Is there anything else that I can try? Thank you in advance!
Here is my system spec:
http://reviews.cnet.com/Acer_TravelMate_8210_6597_Core_2_Duo_2_GHz_2_GB_RAM_160_GB_HDD/4507-3121_7-32114677.html?tag=nav
Before the installation, I ran the Solaris Installation Check Tool 1.2, and it said that the system is able to run Solaris.

I've just installed the Solaris Express DE 2/07 and still have the same problem.

Can't install Solaris 10 on DELL VOSOTRO 200 ?

Hi All,
I am new to SOLARIS, and wanted to play with it.
I tried to install Solaris 10 ON dell VOSOTRO 200 and it does not install at all. It gets stuck at the very first place. I tried open solaris and Solaris in all different ways, CD/DVD/USB.
I used the same CD/DVD in Emachine and they get install just fine. Is solaris not compatible to DELL VOSOTRO? Or am I doing something wrong ?
Any answer would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Envrionment

Step by Step Guide to Install Solaris 10 11/06 With Windows XP on x86 PC

hi everyone
here is how I fixed my dual boot & internet connectivity failure problems. I'm explaining in detail to help any Solaris newbie (like me) having same problems: ( as I didn't find any REAL Help thru Sun Help Documents / Pages )
My special thanx to " Phil Brown " ( who helped me alott on this )
First to get rid of Dell's Diagnostic Partition & System Recovery Partition I re-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition & at installation I made 4 Partitions of my Dell 9150 ( x86 Intel Pentium Dual Core ) 238 GB Hard Drive.
(1) C: 100 GB for Windows XP ( NTFS )
(2) D: 80 GB for Solaris 10 ( RAW )
(3) E: 50 GB for Linux ( RAW , which I haven't installed yet )
(4) F: 6 GB (RAW)
(5) G: 2 GB Un-Allocated Space
Restarted PC after Win XP installation & installed Partition Magic 8 . In PM8 I formatted Solaris partition as FAT 32 (at Solaris installation it changed to Solaris format) & Linux as Linux EXT 3 . Rebooted the PC. I Started Solaris 10 11/06 installation from the DVD I burned from Sun downloads.
Here's how I installed Solaris 10 11/06 :
(1) On the next screen after "Loading Stage 2 ... " I selected " Solaris "
(2) Selected " Solaris Interactive (default) installation
(3) Hit "enter" to accept proposed Windows configuration screen it displayed
(4) Selected 0 = English as language (you need to take cursor into white window so you can type 0 into it, otherwise u can't)
(5) hit NEXT
(6) Selected "Networked" option
(7) Selected YES to "Use DHCP for e1000g0 ( Intel Pro/1000 Network Adapter )
(8) Selected NO to "enable IPv6"
(9) Selected NO to "enable Kerberos"
(10) Selected DNS as "Name Service"
(11) entered " f.root-servers.net " as Domain Name
(12) Server's IP address : 192.5.5.241 ( you can choose the one that closest to you by visiting http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/ops/f-root/ )
(13) Search Domain: Left all boxes empty ('coz when I tried to put any IP's into 'em, it generated " SysidgenSyserr " and have to re-start installation )
(14) Geographic Continent / Country / Region: Americas > U. S. > time zone
(15) hit NEXT on Date & Time Screen
(16) Entered password twice
(17) Selected YES to "enable Remote Services"
(18) hit CONFIRM
(19) Clicked NEXT on Solaris installation Welcome screen
(20) Selected NO to " Reboot Automatically " and YES to eject additional CD/DVDs
(21) Clicked OK on NOTICE
(22) Specified CD/DVD as " Media from which you installing Solaris "
(23) Check ACCEPT & hit next
(24) Selected "initial install" & hit next
(25) I choose "Custom Install" > NEXT > North America > and checked both, " English ( U S ) ( en_us) & English ( U S, UTF-8) (en_us.UTF-8) and hit next
(26) Selected English (US, UTF-8) as initial locale > NEXT
(27) Selected " Solaris 10 Extra Value Software " > NEXT
(28) Selected NONE to " Web Start Ready Product Scan Location " > NEXT
(29) Selected " Entire Group - Default Packages " in Solaris software group screen > NEXT
(30) Selected " c1do(bootdisk) " > NEXT
(31) " c1d0 " Selected > NEXT
(32) There was a Warning: " A Linux fdisk partition was found on this disk (c1d0), which is the default bootdisk. Having a linux fdisk partition on the same disk as a Solaris fdisk partiton is not supported. Do you want to load the default Lay out ? I choose NO
(33) It displayed 4 partitions. 1st: " Unknown " 100GB , 2nd: FAT32LBA, this I changed to Solaris by clicking on partition, size 80GB . 3rd: Linux 50GB , 4th: DOSEXTLBA 8GB , hit NEXT
(34) I choose NO to " Preserve Data Warning " (the 80GB partition)
(35) Displayed " Lay Out File Systems " screen, c1d0 was highlighted. > NEXT
(36) On " Ready to Install Screen " it displayed Fdisk partitions: 1st: Unknown "Preserved" , 2nd: FAT32LBA delete, & Solaris add, 3rd: Linux "Preserved" , 4th: DOSEXTLBA "Preserved" >>> hit " Install Now "
(37) When installation finishes hit " Reboot " & when PC was restarting I ejected DVD manually
(38) After re-start it displayed 3 options: 1st: Solaris 10 , 2nd: Solaris failsafe , 3rd: Windows , ENTER on Solaris 10
(39) At sign-in screen, I signed in as, user name: " root " & enterd password (which I typed at installation)
(40) I choose JAVA Desktop System
When it was fully up, the Internet was working right away. Restarted again to check Windows. Selected " Windows " at reboot screen & Windows was working just fine.
It took me few allnighters to figure these out, I hope these will helpful to Solaris newbies like me. Still I can't figure out ... How to install any software (obviously designed for Solaris 10 (x86) ) onto Solaris, but thats a different issue.

"A Linux fdisk partition was found on this disk (c1d0), which is the default bootdisk. Having a Linux fdisk partition is not supported"
It might not be supported, but it works fine for me on my thinkpad :-) .
redhat/solaris/xp.
You can't just use the linux grub, though, because it won't understand
solaris 'slices within partitions'. You need to get Solaris to install
grub itself (in fact, you can't stop it doing so, which is rather unfair),
and then add in the linux * xp entries to Solaris's /boot/grub/menu.lst
(== grub.conf) to get it to pick up fedora & xp. Chainloading xp worked
fine for me. Chainloading RHEL4/5 doesn't, so I had to cat the grub.conf
from red hat on to the end of solaris's menu.lst. Stick red hat's grub.conf
on a USB pen or just write it down before putting Solaris on, otherwise you'll
have to boot linux rescue of a red hat CD in order to get hold of it after
Solaris's grub takes over.

Install error for Oracle 10g on Solaris x86 64-bit. NETCA won't run

Hi All,
I'm installing Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x86 64-bit. I run the Oracle installer and all runs well until the NETCA portion of the install. It then errors (error file below). When i attempt to run NETCA outside of the installer i'm getting the same error output. I have verified my OS version and that all dependent packages are installed. I'm not sure what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
thanks, dave

Installing Solaris 9 on an x86 platform with win98 and win2K

Hi,
There is a Pentium P4 (2.4 GHz) machine with a 40 GB hard disk...
This has 1 primary partition and the remaining is the extended dos partition. In effect there are the following logical drives - C, D, E and F. These are FAT32 partitions and have WIN98 and WIN2K (server) installed on them.
There is a free space of abt 8 GB remaining on which i am trying to install Solaris 9 (via CD). But am just not able to do so.
During the process, i get to the step saying that my disk is to be partitioned and that i could either choose the DEFAULT LAYOUT or manually partition the disk with the fdisk.
Default layout indicates that there would be 1 x86 partition (primary, boot) and the remaining would be a solaris partition - implying that all my other data would get formatted out!!!
When i try to use the fdisk to manually partition the disk, the free space mntd above does not show up!!!
But this is seen when i use the DOS fdisk - i.e. i could create a logical drive on the extended dos partition...
Can some one please help me install the Solaris in the free space i have ?? Thanks.

Hello!
There is one simple method also..
Instead of Installation disk of Solaris, insert the Software 1/2 Disk, and try to follow the actuall Suninstall method of installing Solaris. Here you will get the option that how to utilize the free space.
I myself have installed more 5 OS on a single Hard disk :) this way. Try this method

Trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755

Hello All,
I'm having trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755.
I have also tried installing opensolaris 9/07 Express Dev snv_70b with the same issue.
I tried disabling all unnecessary hardware in the BIOS as well.
After GNU GRUB loads and I select Solaris install after about 20 dots.... I get:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1028,211@1d, 7
No SOF interrupts have been received
this USB EHCI host controller is unusable
Hardware:
Dell OptiPlex 755 Small Form Factor, Pentium Dual Core, E2160/1.8GHz1M,800FSB,1GB ram.
I am only installing Solaris 10 - no other OS will be on the HD.
Is there any hope for getting SolX installed on this machine or should I return this hardware and by a different model? I have to build 2 pc's with SolX for development boxs.
Thank you in Advance,
-M

Hi Experts,
I have multiple optiplex 755 Systems and facing the same problem.
I am not able to install Solaris either 8/07 or Exress 9/07.

(basically one with PC1/2 missing for keyboard and Mouse)I am a genuinely concerned guy, so please don't mind the rudeness in this question.

Help with oracle 10g install on solaris x86

hi, i downloaded solaris 10 from oracle site (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) and i have installed it on vmware. i was going through the installation guide for oracle 10 for solaris x86 and while on the pre-installation steps, i issued this command
# /bin/isainfo -kv
and it gave me
# 64-bit amd64 kernel modules
instead of
# 32-bit i386 kernel modules
as the guide expected.
please what can i do, cos the guide says if i dont see the later, the installation cannot complete.
thnx

First check you Operating System Bit information whether it is 64 or 32 bit , for this first check any of the command path
Example ls command
$ which ls
/usr/sbin/ls
$ file /usr/sbin/ls
It will show you whether your OS is 64 bit or 32 bit and accordingly download the software from below link ,if it is showing 64 bit os then you have to download 64 bit database software .

Installing Solaris 10 on x86

I have downloaded the iso files and zip files(all 5 files) for Solaris 10 for x86.
How do I go about installing it on a particular partition?I
am running Win XP Pro, but have made an unformated partition on a logical drive in the extended partitions.
How much disc space do I need?(The documentation says 2gb,but I guess I shud allocate mroe?

I've just installed Solaris 10 1/06 yesterday. I have already had windows xp installed on my system and there was no problem with this. At that time the partition configuration was: 5,5GB for the Primary Partition on which XP was installed and the rest to about 80GB was an extended partition (logical).
Using Partition Magic I resized and moved the logical (larger) partition so that I would get some free space before and after that partition. I've used the "left side" unused space created to enlarge the winXP NTFS partition to a total of 9GB. The unformatted space of 15 GB remaining at the "right side" I've formatted as a primary partition (FAT32) - this does not really matter, but I wanted there to be a partition I could see.
As you can see, I reserved 15 GB for Solaris 10. The full installation costs about 6-6,5 GB. During install you will be prompted for a sort of "drive configuration" in which I specified about 10GB for the Solaris system, 4GB for my Home "drive"/directory (I'm not used to Unix terminology) and about 850 MB for Swap (beeing taken into consideration the physical memory of 512MB). The system works fine like this. The only problem I get now is that Partition Magic will not start anymore in windows because it does not recognize the Solaris partition and that creates an error. :P
Hope it helps.

hi;
I faced that problem when I was a beginner on solaris as you were. I tried to install solaris to my windows installed x86 based PC. in my fisrst few attempts ý always saw that message, afterwards somehow I managed to install solaris to my PC but this time windows failed.I think that is because of the inconsistencies between those OS but if you need to install solaris you can use VM ware workstation with this software you can use both OS without problems.

Installing Solaris 10 x86??.
