Solaris 10 install problem (requested image to big to fit into memory)

I have just downloaded the iso images and burned to disk. When I go to install I get the message (Requested image to big to fit into memory Error 28) I have 1.5GB so I don't understand the problem. Thanks in advance
It took a long time for me to figure out, but the answer is disable in BIOS memory hole at 15M to 16M. This solved the install problem with Open Solaris and quite a few more such as not being able to install Linux Zenwalk 5.0 or openSUSE 10.3. Their are others also problems I have had with Linux or UNIX that this took care of. JGZ

Hi,
I had been able to solve the Error 28 issue that in my case was really related to a corrupted boot image:
1. I went in the path /a/platform/i86pc
2. rm boot_archive.
3. sync
4. reboot
At this point the OS will notice the absence of the boot_image and it will regenerate it.
At the time of this operation the CD with solaris 10 was inserted in the CDROM.
When the system restarted it was able to load the OS properly.
Please use these information at your own risk. I do not accept any liablity.
Cheers

  • J2sdk installation problem-Program too big to fit in memory

    I downloaded the J2SDK software from sun website. The file name is

    Program too big to fit in memoryThis error is complaining about memory, not disk space. But I suspect that the problem is disk space. This is copied from the Window 32-bit installation instructions:
    A Pentium 166MHz or faster processor with at least 32 megabytes of physical RAM is required to run graphically based applications. Forty-eight megabytes of RAM is recommended for applets running within a browser using the Java Plug-in product. Running with less memory may cause disk swapping which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance.
    You should have 120 megabytes of free disk space before attempting to install the Java 2 SDK software.

  • Installation problem: Program too big to fit in memory

    I have downloaded the installation file several times now and tried to run the executable on an NT 4 SP 5, a W2K, and a Win98 system, and all I ever get is "Program too big to fit in memory". I have looked at the byte count, and it's exactly the same as specified on the download page. What could be wrong?
    TIA,

  • StreamInsight Exception: The event is too big to fit into one page. The maximum event size is '230' bytes

    Hi,
    I'm using version 2.1 and getting the following exception
    System.InvalidOperationException: The event is too big to fit into one page. The maximum event size is '230' bytes, but the event size is '234' bytes. Try reduce the size of the event payload.
    Everywhere I read tells me the maximum page size is 16K, so why am I hitting a 230 byte limit? Secondly how can I increase this to the full 16K?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    That is ... unusual. I've never seen that. Can you provide some details on what your payload looks like and the query?

  • Can an image resize automatically to fit into a template?

    Many (weaker) programs allow you to drag an image into a template and have it resize to fit into a specific area.  Can this be done in CS6?  For instance .... if you designed a 4x6 Christmas card template and it had a (place holder?) for a 2x2 photograph, and you dragged an image into this 2x2 area, can it resize automatically to "fill" just that 2x2 area?  This would result in some cropping of just the longest dimension, if the image inserted wasn't a square.

    It can be done with Photoshop Scripting.   Note when the inage has a diffenebt aspect ratio or different shape then the template the images is sized to fit and fill the template open and any excess is masked off.
    I have a free download you can use.  In Photoshop version  CS2 through CS5 Below CS2 some required features are missing and there are bugs in CS6 scripting.
    Photo Collage Toolkit 
    Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this. The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    There are ten scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

  • Solaris install problems on Ultra10/300

    Hi all.
    I'm having a bit of an issue installing Solaris 9 on my Ultra 10. I issue the boot cdrom command, the solaris installer starts at openprom, then gives what looks to be a kernel dump, and the system reboots. I've had this issue on an Ultra 30 as well, and haven't any idea how to get around it. I have Solaris 10 (I think Sun is calling it Solaris Express) installed on the Ultra 10 now, although, at first, it gave me the same errors.
    Any thoughts or ideas would be welcome,
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • LC Solaris Install Problems

    The installer, (InstallShield) does not Initialize correctly. When I run the command ./solaris_livecycle8_setup.bin with no options, The first install screen (unpacking and initializing) does not stop, the Second page loads, the Next and Cancel commands do not function.
    If I use -cp:p ./suite.jar -cp:p ./stage.jar the Main screen loads mostly but again can not move forward or cancel.
    The install log shows many java class not found exceptions relating to the InstallShield.

  • LightBox problem - Close image  too big

    Is anyone here familiar with LightBox image show, please?
    They have a image show, without the usual Windows icons and blue
    frame. Have tried all sorts, but can't get it working. As there is
    no documentation with the software, am rather lost...

    TC2112:
    I have already done as you suggested above, before I posted
    the code, which got cut-off at right margin, hence you did not see
    the complete line. So here is a re-post ot it. But it still does
    not work. The proper image image shows in a new blank window, at
    0,0
    Any suggestions, please?

  • Loading images into memory

    I have an applet that I need to load images into memory. For instance, lets say I am in the first section of the applet. While that section is being showed, I want to load the background image of the second section into memory.
    To load the initial image into momory, I am just using a Mediatracker. No problem there. But I don't want to load all 20 backgrounds into memory at the same time as they take a lot of time. My understanding is that if I create a new MediaTracker while the first chapter is running, it will potentially cause some chaos, as that will stop my thread from running while I have an image loading.
    Somebody told me perhaps I could create a new thread and have that thread load the backgroudn into momory? Perhaps something like this?
    public class TestClass extends JApplet {
         private TestClass thisClass;
         public void init() {
              thisClass = this;
              Runnable r = new Runnable() {
                   public void run() {
                        MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(thisClass);
                        Image nextImage = getImage( getDocumentBase(), getImagePath() +"img1.jpg");
                        tracker.addImage(nextImage,0);
                        try {
                             tracker.waitForID(0);
                        } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
                             System.out.println(ie.toString());
              Thread t = new Thread(r);
              t.setDaemon(false);
              t.start();
              while(t.isAlive()) {
                   int i = 1;     
              t.stop();
              t.destroy();
    }No idea if I am on the right track or not? Another friend told me something about swing helpers but couldn't tell me much more?
    Thanks in advance!

    I use media tracker when I need information about how percent the image is loaded. you can use JLabel to load the images since it has own image observer in it.
    hope you just want to deal with it. easiest way I can offer :)

  • Help, bridge will not convert the images from my Canon 7D into raw

    Has anyone else had problems converting images from a Canon 7D into Raw format?  Bridge downloads them and then tells me it could not convert them.  Hopefully someone out there has a fix.  Aah the joys of new equipment and software.

    Bridge should be converting image FROM raw format, not TO raw format.
    If you have Photoshop CS4 you should update to the latest Camera RAW plugin:

    If you have an earlier version of Photoshop (CS, CS2, CS3) then you can download the latest free DNG Converter and convert the 7D RAWs to DNGs and then an older version of Camera RAW can open them.

    CS5 will be announced in a few weeks/months, and when it is available there will only be an upgrade path from CS2, CS3 and CS4, so if you have PS CS then you need to upgrade to CS4, now, before CS4 is available, otherwise to upgrade to CS5 you will need to pay full price.
    If you have a PS version newer than CS then you can wait and upgrade to CS5 when it is out.
    With either CS4 (and the newest Camera RAW update) and CS5, you won't have to convert 7D RAWs to DNGs to work on them.

  • Solaris 8 Install Problem - Partition(s)

    First, I am a relative "newbie" when it comes to SUN Solaris and System Adminstration, though I know enough UNIX to be dangerous (read "get me into trouble" - hahaha).
    I tried to do an "upgrade" to the O/S (2.7) on my Ultra 5, but when doing an "initial install", the system will only allow me to set the partitions/slices manually at the cylinder level. Any attempts to do so have failed, as I keep getting an "overlapping cylinder" error message, regardless of how I try to setup root, /usr, etc. The Solaris 8 O/S setup swap as follows:
    Starting - 3275 Size - 1110
    FYI, I was trying to do the install using the Solaris 8 CDROM, Solaris build date 2/02.
    Overall, I appear to be having a lot of issues with the Seagate Medalist ST34321A (4.1 Gbyte) drive that came with my Sun Ultra 5. The drive appears to work correctly, but an attempts to "wipe out" the drive (reformat) have not met with success.
    Any suggestions anyone can provide regarding the install problem would be appreciated.

    If you are trying to Upgrade to Sol 8 it is strongly suggested that you do not use the Installation CD. Use CD 1 of 2 with a boot cdrom. You will have to answer the sysid questions and then should get prompted for Initial Install or Upgrade. If you do not get the Upgrade prompt then there is a problem with your original Sol 7 system. Things like nfs mounts in vfstab, links to /var/sadm/patch, pkg or install/contents.
    An Upgrade should not be asking you to lay out filesystems. It should use your existing ones.

  • Solaris Express, Dev. Edition 2/07 install problem

    Im trying to install the solaris express developer edition 2/07 dvd i got in the mail.
    Everything goes fine until i have to set up the hard drive for installation. I have two hard drives, 1 SATA (Server 2003), and a 20Gb IDE for this Solaris install.
    When i click next to start installing, it drops out with an error against Solaris Software. the error is as follows:
    ERROR: Could not create Fdisk partition table.
    ERROR: Could not label disks
    ERROR: Could not update disks with new configuration
    ERROR: System installation failed
    Pfinstall failed. Exit stat = java.lang.UNIXProcess@2af0812
    sing existing Solaris fdisk partition (c2d1)
    Im not a nub to linux but i have never used solaris and its been a few years since i've touched it - but im familiar with console.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. =D

    You do not supply more comprehensive info on Your hardware. Therefore I would like to suggest quite conservative approach.
    1. First of all it will be helpful to get from SUN's website the "Install check tool". It is an image (bootable CD) of diagnostic soft.
    2. Disable in Bios the SATA disk.
    3. Boot the computer with "Install_check_tool" CD inserted into the drive. I hope that this diagnostics will be OK.
    4. Restart the computer and start Solaris installation. You can perform this step directly after step no. 2. Now Bios will see only IDE disc and installation should proceed OK. If not - supply more info on Your hardware and resulting (in this situation) diagnostics.
    Good luck!
