PCI IDE-controllers are NOT ISA

I have a problem with Device Configuration Assistant.
After I had a crash last week I could not boot Solaris 8 anymore, during boot I got the ussual fsck errors saying I needed to 'fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0' but when I tried to do so I would get the message /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 was not accessible.
Strangly enough when I booted with the DCA floppy that comes with Solaris 8 I had no problems at all.
Apparantly for some reason the DCA on the disk always identifies my onboard-IDE controllers wrongly as being ISA whereas the floppy correctly identifies them as being PCI. Therefor when I boot from DCA on disk I get a boot path starting with /isa and not /pci but trying to boot with the correct path will not work since this device is not in the /devices tree.
I removed all devices from DCA (except for the motherboard-driver which can not be removed) and let DCA find them again ... with no change.
I can still boot from floppy but really hope someone can give me an idea on how to fix it. I tried copying the mboot in /usr/lib/fs with 'fdisk -b ...' but that did not help either.
Anyone have an idea ? I think it's a bug but maybe someone can suggest a workaround - I guess...booting from floppy could be considered one :-( ?
cheers !
ps: the motherboard is a 440BX-2 from Intel and it has worked well with Solaris 8 for the past 2 months.
ps2: reinstalling Solaris is not something I am looking forward to because of all the extra stuff I had to put in to get my video-card working , etc ... got two other OS's on the same disk too begging to make my life even more miserable :-)
ps3: is there a way to copy and use the contents of the floppy as masterboot on the disk ?

HI,
If the problem is with boot path then you can specify the proper boot path in /etc/system file. Make an entry in /etc/system file as
rootdev:/xxx.......

  • Error in Installing Netweaver--domain controllers are not supported

    When i make the pre-requisite check for installing Netweawer 2004s
    I am getting the follwoing error
    <b>installation to domain controllers are not supported</b>
    Pls help me how to resolve this
    Thanks in Advance

    hi balaji,
                  FYI,
                         You cannot create local users and groups on the host that is used as domain controller. Therefore, we do not support running an SAP instance (including the database instance) on the host where the DNS service is installed.
    so try to log with a user, who has administrator rights. and check whtr all the services are up & running. then try to re-install.
    for more on this refer the installation manual.
    hope this will help you.
    with regards,
    Rajesh.

  • Installations on domain controllers are not supported

    Hi All, While checking prerequisites of operating system users and groups, following error message are getting. "installations on domain controllers are not supported". Please help. Thanks, Sam

    Hi Sam,
    I assume as a technical limiation from SAP. which I suppose being as a local user or even as a local group cannot be done or created on Domain controller..
    "You cannot create local users and groups on the host that is used as domain controller. Therefore, we do not support running an SAP instance (including the database instance) on the host where the domain controller is installed.

  • Additional PCI IDE controller does not work

    I have an on-board IDE controller but I have several disks. So I bought an additional PCI IDE controller. However, Solaris 10 does not recognize it and doesn't see any disks on it. (reports "driver not attached "for the device).
    Is there a way to make the external PCI controller work?

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem and hope there is a solution. In my case, I bought one of the "reported to work" IDE controllers - the adaptec ASH-1233.
    The board is not being recognized by Solaris. Running Nevada build 27a.
    I followed the directions that Juergen Keil posted, and the directions on bigadmin associated with the card. That includes adding a line to devicedb/master:
    pci1095,680 pci-ide msd pci ata.bef "Silicon Image 680 PATA Controller"
    Then touching /reconfigure and doing a reboot.
    The device is not found and reported in /var/adm/messages. It is shown by prtconv -pv though, with the matching identifier (pci1095,680).
    So the device exists but isn't found by Solaris Nevada b27a. Thanks for any advice...

  • Advice on PCI IDE Controllers

    Hello,
    The drive in my Quicksilver just bit the dust. I want to install a 400GB ATA drive I have lying around, but my logic board only recognizes 130GB or so --I already tried.
    I have been checking around for PCI controllers (OWC, Newegg, Frys) and they tend to be either on the pricey side or simply out of stock.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi guys,
    @Jeff: I feel your pain, but I'm sure it was a while ago that you guys bought those Sonnet cards. I just cannot justify (or afford) such expenditures for low-end systems, and it kinda beats the purpose, don't you think? (Once upon a time, of course, they were top-of-the-line computers, and that's maybe one of the reasons they make such reliable workhorses. My 8-year-old Gigabit is handling well over a TB and running Leopard like a champ.)
    @Tom: I did my homework and discovered that I was mistaken: the Hi-Cap utility has indeed been upgraded to Leopard compatibility. I ended up buying it --you cannot beat $24.99! Its manuals are convolute to the point of uselessness, but fortunately I found a more readable guide in the Speedtools forums, and voila!, my 400GB drive is all there.
    Thanks a lot for all the feedback!

  • URGENT!! Demoted SBS server and now no other Domain Controllers are functioning

    Last night we were demoting a 2003 SBS in a domain. We have 3 other domain controllers that were online and appeared to be functional. All were shown in Sites and Services as GC. However, after demoting the SBS server, our other Domain controllers are not
    functioning as GCs or as DCs.
    I can get into Sites and Services if I let it fail when it tries to connect to the domain and then tell it to connect to the specific domain controller. But then things don't look quite right. I can't see all the tabs when I drill down to NTDS Settings and
    go to properties. The only tabs that show up are Security and Attribute Editor. Same thing with ADUC, I only get some of the tabs. It is like only half of AD is there.
    I need some urgent help if anyone can assist.

    Hi,
    In order to identify the cause, I suggest you run
    DCDiag command on a Domain Controller, and post out the results for troubleshooting:

    What does DCDIAG actually… do?

  • Birthday calendar for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

    my birthday events for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

    I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
    http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
    The file is called "Template_File.indd"
    So, as discussed the main issues are:
    1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
    2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
    Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

  • I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

    I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

    Hello there DesertRat71,
    I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
    In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • We have migrated data from virsa 4.0 to grc 10.1, all virsa mitigation approvers and controllers got migrated but we are not able to map new mitigation approver and controller to the mitigation ids.

    Hello All,
    We have migrated data from virsa 4.0 to grc 10.1, all virsa mitigation
    approvers and controllers got migrated but we are not able to map new
    mitigation approver and controller to the mitigation ids.
    The steps we have done below.
    1. We have created user id in su01 with necessary authorizations
    2. we have declared this user id in Access control owners as a
        mitigation approver and assigned to the organization unit
    Now we are trying to map to newly created mitigation approver to the
    mitigation id but we are not able to find that approver id for the mitigation ids. (only old mitigation ids came from VIRSA only we are able to see, not able to add new mitigation approvers / controllers to the mitigation ids)
    Kindly check this issue, this is very critical for us.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Karunakar

    Hi Karunakar,
    - Assign Owners to Organization unit
    - Make these owners as Mitigation Approver and Monitor
    - Create Mitigation Id in this Org. unit

  • What is the command to verify the configuration that are not saved or sent to local controllers?

    Q: What is the command to verify the configuration that are not saved or sent to local controllers?
    A: We can execute the command that is shown in below image to check the status of the configuration that has been made.
    Note: For example I made changes to the default VAP profile and executed the command "show master-configpending" which shows the pending configuration to be saved/sent to local controllers.

    But that jar file loads without images and icons when it is in other directory.Images should be accessed via a URL rather than using a filename because they will exist as entries in the jar archive not as files. Typically this URL would be obtained by using the Class method [getResource()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getResource(java.lang.String)]. There are details in this [Java World article|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2002-11/02-qa-1122-resources.html].

  • I am scanning printed photos into iPhoto as jpeg files but they are not showing as jpegs and I can't move them to another document - any ideas??

    Ultimately, I am using these photos in a document I am writing and for some reason, some of the photos I have scanned in to iPhoto are not showing as jpeg files . . . the file type is blank and when I try to move them, I get a circle with a slash through it indicating NO instead of the green circle with a + indicating that the photo can be moved and dropped elsewhere.  I am using an Epson scanner and am scanning as jpeg images.  I also have an option to scan as a jpeg2000 image but am not sure of the difference in the files so continue to scan as just jpeg.  Does anybody have an idea as to  why these particular files are scanning in as jpegs but apparently there is something not registering correctly.  Could it be that they were scanned without doing an overview scan first?  I know it can't be that simple . . any help would be appreciated. 

    What scanner format settings dis you use?  Are these color photos? If they are B/W did you scan as grayscale images?  That could be the problem.  
    Are you able to open them with Preview?  If so do a Save As, select full quality and save as a jpeg with a new file name.  See if that file will import and work as intended.
