S10 X86 installation hangs on Toshiba Tecra M2 Laptop

Hello,
I am trying to install s10_X86 on toshiba tecra M2 laptop. But it hangs at secondary boot loader. Checked the HCl too from the bigadmin and it supports s10 3/05. I have the same media. Can any body help me install the os the laptop.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Raghu

I too installed s10 on a Tecra M2, and have disabled legacy USB FDD support. This enabled me to get past installation problem, but at first reboot, the system hangs at checking ufs file systems. It hangs at:
" [sytem/filesystem/autofs:default failed repeatedly (see 'svcs -x' for details) ] "
This is a dual boot system, with XP on first part of disk, and s10 installed on last 17gb of disk
Thanks...Kier

Solaris 7/8 on Toshiba Tecra 8000 Laptop - Possible?

This could be an easy one or one that has to go to Toshiba but I've been trying to get Solaris 7 loaded onto a Toshiba tecra 8000 laptop and can't get a 'fit' for the screen size. I've looked on the tested h/w list and can't see it listed so just wondered if anyone has used this platform for Solaris 7 and what they used? It's a 1024x768 screen. Any help appreciated.

I added Xig's Accelerated X server. With it I use 1024x768 screen and desktop
though I have also played with a larger virtual desktop at same resolution.

Solaris 11 x86 installer hangs on boot

I've downloaded both sol-11-1111-live-x86.iso and sol-11-1111-text-x86.iso, they both launch grub successfully, but thereafter they hang almost instantly.
This is a photo of my monitor when the installer has died:
[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5487392/IMAG0073.jpg]
I've installed ubunut and windows successfully on the machine, so the hardware should be ok.
Is there some way I can launch the installer in verbose mode or something to more accurately pinpoint what fails during the boot?
Any other suggestions that can get me closer to installing solaris are welcome as well.

I am getting this on a Dell SC440.
I thought it might be my lowly E2160 CPU, but I've just put in an Intel Q6600 (Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz) and it still happens.
The server previously had Red Hat Linux 6 on it (actually I reinstalled it today to test it), but I booted from a DOS USB stick and used fdisk to remove all partitions, so that the 3x 80 GB SATA disks I have in there are all blank.
When I boot it goes through the initial screen with dots printing across and then displays a text line "Solaris Release 5.11 Version snv_151a 64-bit" then a copyright line and then it hangs.
I've tried both the live and text install media, with the same result.
I have used the same Solaris media to install onto another machine (an AMD powered Dell C521), and it is fine.
Any ideas/pointers?

Solaris 10 x86 Installation on Toshiba Tecra M1

After a lot of trial and error, most of my own creation, I have successfully gotten Solaris 10 installed on my laptop!
My question relates to SMF and creating a "non-networked" milestone. Mainly, umm, what should I leave out from the "all" level? Or more importantly, what should I add to the "multi-user-server" milestone to enable X?
Some items that may help others doing S10 x86 installs:
1) Tecra M1 needed "legacy floppy driver" support DISABLED in the Bios.
2) Tecra M1 installation was done in text mode (option 4) and after installation ran /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig with these settings -
mouse=auto
kbd=us, 104 key
monitor=1280x1024@70hz
vert sync was option "1" (forgot the values)
video card=27 (trident)
Works great!
3) Onboard gigabit NIC was found perfectly.
4) Sound works great
5) Touchpad or USB mouse work fine.
6) Disk setup issues -
I had windows XP on the whole 40 gig disk. Purchased "Partition Commander" and resized XP down to 1/2 the disk. However it took the beginning of the disk (cylinder 1-20000). Solaris 10 would install but would lock up on subsequent reboots. Moving XP to the upper cylinder range fixed this issue (and giving Solaris cylinders 1-X.)
7) Turn off Partition Commander before doing your solaris installation.
I've now installed S10 on dell, toshiba, HP and Sun computers. Main issues have been with peripheral ID and driver installations but other than Wireless Drivers, nothing has failed! Way to go SUN!!
D

problem 1 is that it's looking for ../../s0.. Which I
managed to
fake out by creating the dir in the same mount
point.
Problem 2 is that it can't find .tmp_proto, which I
must
concur with. I can't find that on any of the b72 cd
images.
So, the setup_install_server fails.This seems to be the problem when you try to setup an install
server on a Solaris SPARC system for Solaris x86 clients, using
the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10/Express CD media.
There's a Solaris x86 UFS filesystem on slice 0 on the CD media,
and it's supposed to be mounted on the "s0" mount point,
otherwise setup_install_server won't work. On a Solaris x86 box,
vold mounts it automatically for you: /cdrom/cdrom0/s2 is the
mount point for the platform independant ISO9660 part of the CD
media, /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 is the UFS root filesystem.
Problem is that Solaris SPARC:
- does not understand Solaris x86 disk labels
- does not allow mounting x86 UFS filesystems
(and vice versa).
AFAIK, Solaris 9 DVD media does not have this problem. I
guess the same will be true when Solaris 10 DVD media is
available in a few months. On the DVD media there's enough
free space to include an extra copy of the files in the ISO9660
filesystem.

Replacement model for Toshiba Tecra M2

Hi, I have one Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop and i plan to replace it. Just wondering what is the replacement model for Tecra M2? Thx

Hi again
In my opinion there can be more different reasons for this. Lot of additional software can be responsible for processor activity like some antivirus software. Some multiple programs that start with OS can also make processor very busy. Did you install some of them?
It can be also some setting in Power management like Processor speed or Inel Speed step setting.
If you need more power for some complex operations it will be useful to extend RAM.

Toshiba tecra a11-17c refusing to boot from LAN

Hello
I am working on a Toshiba tecra a11-17c. We currently have about 18 of the same laptop and the person who originally built the computers has left the office we are currently working at.
The issue I am have is that I want to boot the computer from lan and do a windows 7 installation on the laptop but I keep getting the error "Media test failure, check cable"
I know the cable is working because I was able to build a Toshiba satellite pro l20 perfectly fine
The other Toshiba tecra a11-17c laptops have the same issue when trying to rebuild them too
I am fully able to log into a Toshiba tecra a11-17c and connect to the internet via the same network cable and port when in windows.
I have also tried to swap the hard drive with a different tecra a11-17c but it just kept getting a blue screen as soon as the windows flag appeared.
I then tried a format of the hard drive and a reset to default of the bios settings as suggested in a different forum.
I then tried to clone a fully working hard drive from a different fully working tecra a11-17c and it just dose the blue screen as stated above.
I then used an old windows XP recovery disk for the tecra a11-17c it did the build fine no issues then when it came to build to windows but as stated above it just dose a blue screen the same as windows 7.
Now I have no idea what to do but to believe it is something Toshiba has done with the tecra a11-17c range because its the same issue for all 18 of the tecra a11-17c laptops I have here.
Any way I am at a loss and have no idea what to do it seems to be something as simple as the network card need to be turned on during the boot phase but I can not find anything in the bios.

I'm sorry but I have no experience doing what your attempting to do. However, for your information, this site is for U.S. models only and I would suggest you also post in the appropriate regional Toshiba Support forum to get better suggestions. Good luck

Solaris 10 x86 Installation Fails to Start

I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 05/08 on a Sony PCG-K115S laptop. The issue I am having is that the installation hangs after printing the copyright information and does not go any further. I get no error message or status as to what the installation is doing.
I downloaded the dvd iso from sun website and verified the md5 checksum before burning the dvd more than once but the issue occurred in both dvds.
The laptop currently has XP installed but there is 30GB of free unallocated/partitioned space on the disk.
Are there any options I can active to debug the installation and see where and why it is stalling.
Thank you,
F.
Edit 1:
After some forum reading I activated the Kernel Debugger and verbose mode:
The installation hangs after this line is printed out:
echi0 is /pci@0,0/pci104d,8175@c,2
loaded modules: [uppc neti ufs unix krtld uhci hook genunix ip usba specfs pcplusmp cpu.generic sctp arp]
Does this strike a cord with anybody??
Edit 2:
After some more reading and investigation, I read that this could be caused by my USB controller not being recognoized or some USB 2.0 issues with Solaris 10.
I have tried to deactive the usb system with the options "-B acpi_user_options=2" and "-B acpi_user_options=8" but with no luck. (I got about these on some some forum, not sure if they are correct).
Any help is appreciated!!
Thank you,
F.

OK, got a little further. I entered the incorrect value for the acpi-user-options, the number should have been in hex.
So with options "-k -v -B acpi-user-options=0x8 -B install_media=cdrom" I get the install menu
1. Interactive
On selecting "1" for interactive, the install begins be halts quickly with an error:
NOTICE: rtls0 -- link down
ERROR: Unable to configure network interface
Exiting to shell.Is there any way to disable the configuration of the network interfaces?? I don't need them for installation...
Thank you for any help,

Installation hangs with Third Party Source component

Hi,
The installation hangs when it is installing Third Party Source (57%) in my environment.
This is my environment:
1. Solaris 10 x86 5/08
2. SunStudio12ml-solaris-x86-200709-pkg.tar
3. Installation method: single user, graphical user interface
4. Hardware: VMware Workstation 6.0.2, CPU 1.5G, memory 400M
I searched in SunStudio12ml-solaris-x86-200709-pkg.tar, and I could not find SPROrdbks package which belongs to Third Party Source component.
I suspect this is the root cause of my installation problem. I restart the installation, and I do not select to install Third Party Source component. But the installation process now hangs when it is installing Performance Library (56%). I don't what is the root cause :P
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
O2Cabin

Hi,
You could find log in the /var/sadm/install/logs directory. Probably it helps you.
(for example: /var/sadm/install/logs/Sun_Studio_Ceres_software_install.B09161643)
Unfortunately the SunStudio12 installer could have problems with virtual environments.
The Sun Studio is distributed as tar.bz2 archive (for latest Express it is wrapped into sh script).
You could just unpack it. The only difference is that there no packages are created.
Could this helps you?
Also if you use OpenSolaris you could install Sun Studio from IPS.
Thank you

B1DIEvent Service on Windows Server 2008 x64 - installation hanging

I'm trying to install the B1DIEvent Service on a Windows 2008 x64 Server but the installation is not completing. It does create the directories in the SAP folder but the installer hangs at roughly 95%.
It seems to not be able to register the service on the server.
Does anyone know if there would be compatability issues with Wondows 2008 Server x64? Or are there any speciffic steps that I can take to install this?
I have installed MSMQ on the server.
Any help would be appreaciated.
Best wishes
Edu van Zyl

Hi Edu,
Did you followed the instructions compiled in the other threads showing how to recompile the dll???
Just follow step by step what is described there, it should work.
DI EVENT SERVICE ON 64 SERVER
1. Change compilation option to x64
2. You have to replace the following 2 lines modified marked with:
char msg[ 398 ]; // Old was mgs[378]
sock, msg, 398, 0, (const struct sockaddr*)&sAddr, sizeof(struct
sockaddr_in));
3. Replace the old dll by the new one compiled
4. Don't forget to register the dll (after compiling and copying in the right folder):
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64>regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business
One DI Event Service\SAP Business One DI Event Server\SBO_SP_TransactionNotification\B1DIEventsSender.dll"
Both Ad and Andres succeeded to do it.
Hope it helps

Step by Step Installation 9.2.0.4 on EL5.5.
1. Make sure Java libraries are up to date.. (sysad side..)
2. Do not start installation from the 9204 base installation- Oracle Universal Installer has problem
2.1 Install first the OUI "only" from the 9206 patchset (p3948480_9206_Linux-x86-64.zip)
using the Oracle_Home youve just decided. While running runinstaller from 9206, choose second option thats for OUI Installation. Once installation is done check under Oracle 9i Home you would see /product/9204/oui/oraparam.ini and /product/9204/oui/bin/runInstaller. If you dont find /product/9204/oui/bin/runInstaller. You may have to rerun the runinstaller from 9206.
2.2 In ../Disk1/install/oraparam.ini edit the Linux value under [Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1AS,redhat-2.1,redhat-3,redhat-4,redhat-5,UnitedLinux-1.0,SuSE-9,SuSE-
* value must include redhat-5 inorder to suppress the error message for OS version incompat.
2.3 After completion of OUI install, edit again ../product/9204/oui/oraparam.ini as instructed
in step 2.2
2.4 Now install the 9204 base using the OUI from 9206. Run ../product/9204/oui/bin/runInstaller BUT
this time, select the "products.jar" from 9204 base installation set.
(ex: /u01/app/oracle/Disk1/stage/products.jar)
2.5 From here u should be able to install the SOFTWARE ONLY option. DO NOT create a database yet.
3. Patch the 9204 base with the 9207 patchset (p4163445_92070_Linux-x86-64.zip)
3.1 After decompressing contents, repeat step 2.2 again to suppress OS version incompat.
3.2 Now proceed with the patch application
4. You can now create a database using the "dbca" utility.

Toshiba Tecra M1 - Won't reboot

Hello @ll
This is my first post on this forum. I write from poland, so forgive me for my poor english.
I have a problem with my old laptop (Toshiba Tecra M1). Computer won't reboot. After the Arch installation everything was fine, command init 6 was working correctly. When I was doing installs and configurations (adds daemon's to rc.conf, modifying fstab, install KDEmod etc.) i was rebooting system to see how it works. I don't know when, but after 3th, maybe 4th reboot system won't boot. I can see the screen which contains information about closing daemons, but after this listing I can see only black screen, computer stops and nothing happens.
Thanks for any advices

On this virtual way nobody can say for sure what the problem is. As Joe already wrote it is hardware related issue and it should be checked by technicians. Fact is that this Tecra M1 is pretty old notebook model (I had it 8 years ago) so I think repair is not a option.

Solaris 8 and PCMCIA on Toshiba Tecra 520 CDT

I am having problems with my pcmcia services with X86 on my Toshiba Tecra 520 CDT laptop. It will not recognize the network card(s) or any PCMCIA cards for that matter. Do I need to load a specific driver or turn on the PCMCIA service or something to that affect for the PCMCIA slot to work? I have heard that the Toshiba laptop is the most supported laptop model for X86. Could anyone give me some advice or point me to the right website or news group. Please reply or contact me directly at [email protected] Much appreciation!

I believe that PCMCIA is broken in Solaris 8.
I can't seem to get networking to work on my Dell either.
Good Luck,
Mike

PLEASE RECOMMED IBM THINKPAD 1GHZ vs TOSHIBA TECRA PENTIUM-II FOR DBA & DEV

Which laptop is recommended to use for better performance workstation for
parallel use of Oracle Database Administration tools and the Oracle Development
kit out of IBM ThinkPad 1GHz with at least 256MB RAM and around 30GB of disk
space vs Toshiba Tecra Pentium-II with lesser memory and disk space for daily
extensive parallel use of full Oracle Enterprise Manager Version 2.2.0.0.0, DBA
Studio and the Developer-2000 6/6i alongwith other SQL Applications for
rigorous testing and output in addition to other office applications for daily operations.
Please provide any reasons/suggestions if applicable.

Per Oracle Enterprise Manager Installation Guide for Release 2.2, part no. A85215-01 Minimum RAM requirement is 128 MB, and recommended is 256 MB. You will need additional memory for Developer 2000, and your SQL applications. One more thing ... don't forget to reserve some memory for the Operating System to run !
Based on this, your applications will barely run with 256 MB of memory. If I were you, I would not go anything less than 512 MB of RAM for serious development work. Memory is cheap these days.
By the way, Oracle software is not smart enough to distinguish brands like Tecra from Thinkpad !!! You need to look at the minimum and recommended values for Hardware Requirements of each product. Hope this helps.
