Hi javier!
I have similar problems and found this solution:
When booting press ESC at prompt, then choose 'device tasks' and disable some devices, e.g. USB controller or network adapter. Then go back to main menu and continue install.

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

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>.
Regards.

HELP!! -- Solaris 8 10/01 (Intel) Installation Hangs My PC!!

I downloaded the Solaris 8 for x86 yesterday and burned them into CDs.
I have the following hardware configuration.
- Intel i815E mainboard
- Intel PIII 733
- KingMax 256M 133MHz
- Maxtor 30G hard disk
- Acer 50X CDROM
The inistallation initially gave me a warning.
WARNING: ACPI Table not in Reclaim Memory
And it gave more warning during the installation process:
Resource Conflicting -- Both devices are added
The conflicting devices are:
- PNP0C01
- ISY0050
Unfortunately, I don't know what they are. :(
However, these are not the whole story. The installer went ahead to
let me fdisk my 30G hard disk.
I accepted the "Solaris Default" and answered Y to the question "Can
swap slice start at the beginning of the disk?". Immediately, the
system hangs there but the keyboard is responsive that I can type
anything I want.
In addition, I use the 512M as swap as suggested by the installer.
Can anyone help me with this situation? I have tried installing this
version of Solaris for several times but with no luck. :S
Any insights are highly appreciated! Thanks!
- Peter

Try this workaround for your problem and let me know the outcomes.
Solaris bootstrap uses Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
for device configuration and MP interrupt routing.
Try to disable your ACPI.
Steps to follow:
1) Use either eeprom(1M):
# eeprom acpi-user-options=0x2
( OR )
* Modify the Device Configuration Assistant (DCA) boot floppy.
Manually edit the /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc to add:
setprop acpi-user-options 0x2
In this method is applicable for at the time of Solaris 8 installation.
DCA for Solaris 8 10/01 download it from this URL:
http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/dca_diskettes/
The ACPI conflicts problem is not fixed and is resolved by disabling ACPI.
In the example you gave, while it is annoying, it probably does no harm. In
some cases it causes duplicate devices to show up, like two floppy or IDE
drives - neither of which work properly. Disabling ACPI is the safest way
to insure there will be no problems if this message shows up.
2) Reboot the System.
Hope it helps.

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.

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

I don't think the test-scsi command is viable for that platform.
The FC disks are "viewed" by the system as external to the SCSI controller, almost as if they were in a multi-pack.
They are FC drives addressed by the chipset as SCSI disks.
Try:
<pre>probe-scsi-all</pre>
Edit:
Which release of Solaris 10 are you trying to install?
Older releases that might be fine for V480's won't work on V490's.

Solaris 10 Install Hangs at 15% on my HP DL 585
I have taken out all the additional extra cards so I am left with the basic box, it has been configured to run in Raid 1 so my four disks become two.
I can still get it to bring up a shell and do other things, but the installer just appears not to want to go pass 15%
Help?

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

Solaris 8 installation problem on an Intel base PC

I'm quite new with Solaris. I got stuck in Solaris 8 installation just at almost the very beginning. After booting up the system from floppy and conituing pressing F2 and selecting booting from CD, I got an error message like:
cannot mount on pci@0; 0/pci-ide@7; 1/ide01/sd@0; 0:a
panic[cpu0]thread=FEC17440 vfs:mountroot
then, the system reboots itself again and again every time it reaches this point. I guess it's a problem with my CD-ROM. But the problem persists even if I change CD-ROM or move CD-ROM from secondary master to primary slave, etc. I also tried to change harddisk, but did no good to the problem. Is there any experienced users who could provide me with some solutions?
I'm using a system with: Pentium 133, 32 MB Ram, 4GB HDD, 3C905TX, ATI Rage II PCI, Matshita CR-587 CD-ROM, Serial mouse and so on. I also tried another system with: P III 450, Asus P3BF, 192MB Ram, Pioneer DVD-ROM, same HDD, and so on. The problem was still there with the latter system. However, I successfully installed Solaris 7 with the latter system before. Why can't it work with Solaris 8?
Thanks a lot for the help.

I've been having the exact same problems on a PowerEdge 500SC. I have managed to get Solaris up and running on the machine, however. I booted the DCA from the floppy disk and installed from the CD-ROM. When the DCA is ready to scan for devices I use the "Specific Scan" option to tell it to look for specific devices. I tell it to scan for all devices in the listing and in doing so the DCA finds ISA-based IDE controllers. After it provides a listing of the devices it found I use the "Device Tasks" option and the "View/Edit Devices" menu item then delete the Bus Mastering IDE controller device. Once the screen comes up to ask for a boot device, the drives will show up as on the ISA controllers.
I have to go through this process every time I boot the machine but I am able to make the system run at least.
I haven't figured out the ACPI problem, yet.

Doug

[Solaris 10] Installation problem on nForce4 Ultra - SATA II - raid 0

hi,
Like I was read on HW web page, Solaris 10 should work fine with 'nForce4' (without 'Ultra'),
but on mine mainboard (nForce4 Ultra) instalator was unable to found my array.
I have ASUS A8N-E (nForce4 Ultra) with 2x 250GB Seagate on SATA II RAID 0.
Is it posible to install this OS on 'nForce4 Ultra' or maybe I am doing sth wrong ?

Not able to add driver update during Solaris 10 installation on IBM x3550

I am facing a problem with installation of Solaris 10 on IBM x3550.
My question is not specific to IBM server.
I am trying to add SAS driver during Solaris 10 installation. I selected option "Apply device driver update" (option # 4). It is asking to insert driver disk. But only showing floppy (f) and cdrom (c).
IBM server 3550 doesnt have floppy drive and I have the driver image only in a USB stick. Unfortunately, Solaris 10 installation is not showing usb device during driver installation.
Is there any way we can add usb device to the driver update disk list??
Thanks in advance.

Does no one have an idea?

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
