Solaris 10.4 installer hangs

I'm trying to install Solaris on my Sony VAIO PCG-FX805 laptop, but the installer hangs after displaying the text about a license.
The installation check CD that I burned failed at exactly the same point.
According to the HCL Sony PCG-FX804, which is identical apart from a slightly slower processor, is compatible.
Can anyone tell me why installation is hanging and what, if anything, I can do to fix it?
The Technical Specification for my laptop can be found here:

How does one safely recover from this fiasco and "retry"?
Typically this is a failed cleanup, not a failed install.
If you force the system off and then restart and boot into the Safe mode (hold down Shift on boot) you can usually clean up the install. When you reach the login screen, don't login, just select reboot. In most cases this is all that is necessary to "clean up" an install.

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?

SAP installation hangs while installation EHP4 ready on Solaris-Oracle

Hi,
I am in a process of installing EHP4 READY on Solaris , with ORacle database.
at 13 Phase CREATE DATABASE, the installation hangs up
when i check the log ora_sql_results.log it says
SP2-0310: unable to open file "ora_scr_tmp.sql"
not getting any clue i have added group sapinst to user orasid, and also gave full permission to the file
"ora_scr_tmp.sql "
still no luck,
please advise.
Regards,
Irfan..

Hello Irfan,
SP2-0310: unable to open file "ora_scr_tmp.sql"
There are 3 possibilities...
1. Users and there Group membership is incorrect.
2. ORACLE_HOME directory permissions are not set or incorrect.
3. Profile parameters are not set..
Check this as below:
1. Check the Users and Group membership as below:
Users -----------> Primary Groups
<SID>adm ------> sapsys,oper,dba,sapinst
ora<SID> -------> dba,oper,sapinst
2. Check that ORACLE_HOME has 755 permissions and ora<sid>:dba should be the user and owner. You can set it with below command:
# chmod 755 -R /oracle
# chown ora<SID>:dba -R /oracle
3. Check if you defined ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable for user ora<SID>.

Solaris 10 installation hangs at filesystem preparation stage

Dear all,
I am facing problems trying to configure Solaris 10 which was preinstalled on a Sun Ultra 45 workstation.
Passing the network configuration stage (some errors included) the installation simply hangs while trying to prepare the filesystem, here are the messages I got:
runCmd error in /usr/sbin/sysidput with output
Unable to run cmd /usr/sbin/sysidput
System identification complete.
mv: cannot access /a/lib/svc/method/fs-root.orig
Please wait while filesystems are prepared...
The installation hangs here. I left the process running overnight, but nothing happened, I had to open a new console and shutdown the system. This behaviour is 100% reproducible. Now I will try getting the CDs for installation.
How can I find out what is happening?
Thanks in advance

Hey all,
rukbat was right - I put the pressure on the Sun frontline support, and got a Sun backline response, below.
Thanks for the encouragement rukbat! - it paid off.
===
Engineering provided us with a workaround for this problem.
And our backline team have confirmed this works.
The workaround is to restore /lib/svc/method/fs-root to slice 0. Here's how:
Boot from slice 1 into single-user mode:
ok boot disk:b - shell
Mount slice 0 on /a. Replace c1t0d0s0 with the appropriate disk address on your machine.
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
Copy fs-root from slice 1 to slice 0:
# cp -p /lib/svc/method/fs-root /a/lib/svc/method/
Optionally, you can check to see if a filesystem was created on slice 3. Again, replace c1t0d0s3 with the correct address on your system.
# df -k /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3
If you don't see a valid usage report such as
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 217369929 9 215196192 0%
go ahead and use newfs to install a filesystem:
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3: (y/n)? y
You can now reboot from slice 0:
# reboot -- disk:a

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!

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

BI 7.0 Java Add-on installation hangs

Hi Guru's
While doing upgrade of BW 3.5 (Netweaver 2004) to BI 7.0 (Netweaver 2004s) during Java Add-on installation at "Database Instance Java Add-in" phase the installation hang on "Import Java dump" phase.
I have tried to kill and restart the installation 2-3 times and restarting the complete installation once again it stops at the same phase. Kindly let me know what can be the reason because we have not face this issue in DEV and QA environment. It is my production server.
The environment is HP-UX IA64 with oracle 10g.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajesh,
What stage is the installation hanging at ?
Please provide any error info from sapinst_dev.log
Check if java engine is installed and is up and running or not.. You could check the j2ee work directory under which you find j2ee stack related traces.
e.g. check std_server0 to see if the server is up or not
Please send more details

CRM 2015 installation hangs without errors on Windows Server 2012 installed in a VM

I have installed a Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 on a VM using VMware Player and then installed Dynamics CRM 2013, working out all the configuration problems.
The installation hanged once without errors and when I tried it again it was installed, no problems. Dynamics CRM 2013 works without issue.
Then I copied the machine, uninstalled the Dynamics CRM 2013 and started installing CRM 2015. However this time without errors the installation hangs even though I tried more than 5 times.
There are no errors, installation program is not unresponsive and task manager shows nothing out of the ordinary.
I have also tried this on multiple physical and virtual PCs to no avail.

Try to Delete the registry files of CRM before you start the installation : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSCRM

Windows 7 installation hangs on 'completing installation' in boot camp

hi
i am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 32 bit using boot camp and each time i have tried (except on one occasion) the installation has hanged on the 'completing installation' stage. i initially had this problem, then one time it worked, but then i had to wipe my boot camp partition and start again, and since then no joy in installing windows 7 again.
when the installation hangs it sounds like the install DVD is making a whirring sound as though there is an issue reading the DVD. but i have tried two different windows 7 install DVDs in both drives on my Mac Pro and i keep getting the same problem.
i have tried installing without any peripherals plugged in, including my cinema display, but still no joy, except for that one occasion, when i am not aware of having done anything different.
the boot camp partition is 32GB, and i have the same issue whether starting the installation using the boot camp assistant, or just booting from the Windows DVD and formatting the boot camp partition during the install.
can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
thanks
nick

On a Mac Pro with four hard disks, you would be better off devoting an entire HDD to Windows. You do not even need to start the Boot Camp Assistant application.
However, that does not appear to be the problem. Perhaps the size of your Windows partition is a bit on the smallish side. Why so small? Have you tried a larger partition? Going larger would be a good experiment to help drill down to the installation problem.
Try to eliminate anything under your control that could be part of the problem.
At 32GB that's the borderline between being permitted to use FAT32 formatting and being required to employ NTFS. Presumably, you allowed the installer to use NTFS. In fact I think Win7 requires NTFS. Switch the partition size a little down or a little up to eliminate that as a possible glitch point. Just a thought and probably a stupid one but you never know...
An afterthought: Can you get hold of a FireWire DVD optical drive. Maybe the internal drive is faulty.

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
Trinidad.
