  • Solaris 8 installation Help 28/02/02

    Dear All
    I have download the companion Intel platform Edition, Solaris/Intel 427.65 Mb and unzip it by using the winzip.
    ( The folder name is s8ccd-7_01-i386)When i double clicked it straight away went to easy cd creator and automatically selecting close session and leave cd open.
    It is successfully writting the cd, but when I try to reboot the CD, nothing happening.
    In the cd it creates two folders and four files which I can view at explorer.
    . INSTALL
    COMPONENTS
    .cdtoc
    installer
    readme
    volstart
    Where I am going wrong ? ( My Pc is CD rom bootable.)
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Thank you
    Ravi.

    Hi Guys,
    I�m on the same problem.
    I did the download of te same file, and burn well the CD.
    This cd do not boot with my lap top.. but this is not the problem.
    My problem is, after boot with the disk created with dd.exe, and also after choose the CD-Rom as the source of the system operation files, i'm getting the fallowing message:
    Error message from mount:
    /pci@0,0/pci-ide@f/ide@1/sd@0,0:a: can�t open - no hsfs VTOC
    �
    I�m sure about the OS is reconizing my cd rom device, becos if I take the midia out, the message change for:
    can�t open - I/O Error
    Well,
    I�m a beginer on this, but my guess is that the instalation software is not reconizing this midia. Or it may os looking for a VTOC file else than CDTOC file.
    Do you guys have any tip for this problem?
    Any reply will be very helpfull.
    Thanks a lot in advanced

  • Solaris 10 Installation - Help Needed Please

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded a copy of Solaris 10 and I cannot get it to install on my system.
    At the moment I am using the GUI to try and install the OS. I can get past the part where you select the language 0 for english.... It then thinks about it for a bit and display the error message "No Disks Found, make sure they are cabled and connected". I then get put into the terminal window.
    My system spec is as follows:
    Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard
    Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 160GB Serial ATA150 Hard Disk.
    LG CD Burner
    LG DVD Burner
    XP installed on half the hard disk. Nothing on the other partition.
    I don't really know what I am doing wrong, so any advice would be gratefully recieved. This is the first time I have tried to install Solaris so it doesn't matter how basic the instructions are. I could do with keeping the XP installation, but it is not essential.
    Is it possible to get Solaris to dual boot?

    Refer to this link in the Solaris 10 documentation:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5177/6mbbc4g3d?a=view
    Follow it for more info on setting up SATA support. As for dual booting, it should be possible with something like grub.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Doug

  • Partition prevents solaris 10 installation

    I am trying to install solaris 10 on a multi-boot system with Win XP and SuSE 9.2 Linux.
    During the installation I get the
    WARNING: A Linux fdisk partition was found on this disk (c1d0), which is the default bootdisk. Having a Linux fdisk partition on the same disk as a Solaris fdisk partition is not supported. ....
    Then Solaris wants to overwrite the whole disk.
    My partitions are:
    1. primary partition NTFS with Win XP
    2. extended partition
    2a. NTFS
    2b. FAT-32
    2c. Linux swap
    3. primary partition reiserfs with SuSE 9.2
    4. free for Solaris
    Would it help to use ext3 instead of reiserfs?
    Thanks fo any suggestions!
    Jean

    Hi troterbatti,
    did you get your problem solved? My multiboot box looks
    like yours (more or less). I've got the same error message.
    Playing around brought me to the panel where I could
    'fdisk' the disk. Done. But the final panel told me that the
    Solaris install intends to delete the other partitions :(
    So I gave up ...
    Any hint how to proceed or workaround?
    regards, Michael

  • Solaris 8 installation Error

    Dear Sir or Madam
    My system:
    * Intel 450, Sony ( CD -Rom and burner ) connect to primary IDE1 on mother board
    * Creative DVD rom connect to IDE 2 through ATA 100 card;
    * 80 G Western Didigtal connect to IDE1 through same ATA 100 card above.
    * Bios look at Sony burner as the CD-Rom in Bios setup and hard drive as SCSI.
    During installation process it scaned through everything ( hard ware and driver) .
    It reconize everythings of my system.
    Instralling process went smooth (either boot with first CD or with device conf assi diskett) ( i got date, net work, ....window mode with correct color ) until it about to intstall program in hard drive, a window pop up in the middle of screen say : " could not found disk, check disk for cable and power ". and left top conner there is a window with some sentences and a shell # .
    I used Partition Magic 6.0 to for my hard drive ( C : program ; D: data ; G: blank unformated ) Intend G for Solaris.
    Please help me
    Millions thanks to you.

    Solaris doesn't currently support ATA100 IDE. That's
    most likely what is going on.That's wrong.
    Solaris has no problem with an ATA100 IDE interface, it it's
    a standard pci-ide interface (those that you find on most
    mainboard chipsets).
    If your IDE interface is non-standard (not pci-ide
    compatible - like the additional promise ide controller you
    find on some ASUS mainboards), the solaris pci-ide driver
    won't work with harddiscs attached to such a controller. (For
    the ASUS example given above, you need a special driver
    from promise for their non standard hardware :-( )

  • 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?

  • Solaris 8 installation in Dell 8100 met "Resource Confilict"

    Hello There,
    During I installated Solaris 8 in Dell Dimension 8100, I received the warning message:
    "Resource Conflict: both devices are added.
    NON-ACPI device:PNP0c01
    Port 800-8DF, C00-C7F; Memory FFB00000-FFFFFFFF

    Memory: 9FC00-9FFFF, 3f87000-7F86FFF, FFFB0000-FFBFFFFF, FFC00000-FFFFFFFF."
    How can I recovery this "CONFLICT".
    Thanks very much !!!
    Jack

    AFAIK, this is a warning and can be ignored. But on dell
    systems there a lot of other problems that can prevent
    a successful solaris 8 installation (dell keyboard problems,
    problems with a panic when the system include a 3com
    3c905c NIC, ACPI problems, ...).

    Does it crash/reboot when you continue?
    Try to boot from the "Software 1 of 2" CDROM and at the
    "1 interactive or 2 custom jumpstart" prompt type "b kadb -v"
    instead of "1" or "2". In case it crashes while booting the
    solaris kernel from cdrom, this should give some usable
    error message...

  • Solaris 9/Installation in UltraSparc

    Hi,
    Im trying to install a Solaris 9 OS in a Sun Fire v240 machine.
    First I introduced a clear SCSI HDD and the Installation DVD in the DVD PCI device. Whe I did 'boot' in the OPROM prompt it seemed 'Bad magic nuber in disk label. Cant open disk label package. Evaluating: . Cant open boot device'. When I did 'boot cdrom' it answered 'Boot device: /pci@1e600000/ide@d/cdrom 0,0 f File and args: . Boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:'
    Then I formatted the HDD into a ufs format. And now when I do again 'boot cdrom' it answered me 'Boot device: /pci@1e600000/ide@d/cdrom 0,0 f File and args: . Boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:
    SCSI HDD and IDE DVD are correctly connected. Installation CD Solaris 9 is original.
    I even proved with a original Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 installation CD with the same results...
    How can I do a correct installation of Solaris??
    Thanks you!!

    Q1: Am I doing the right steps?Yes, assuming you made no error writing the iso images to blank CDs. Make sure to use the "write cd from
    iso image file" function in you cd writing software.
    You can also try to boot from the "Software 1 of 2" CD. It's bootable, too.
    Q2: Can I boot the Solaris 9 installation from the A drive, is there any way to create the boot floppy diskette(s) for it?Yes, the CD "Software 2 of 2" contains a 1.44MB boot floppy image, in file /Solaris_9/Tools/d1_image
    Write the image to a formatted floppy, using the msdos "rawrite.exe" or "dd.exe" utility.

    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 installation failure from cd's

    Hi All,
    I am attempting to install Solaris 10 on my x86 laptop. I run the installation from cd #1 and go through the steps and installation will begin. I am choosing to install the entire distribution and when cd #1 finishes (about 500 mb of the 4000mb) the machine is not prompting for the other cd's. The machine will simply reboot and give "Solaris 10 installation partially failed."
    Upon reboot the grub screen appears and it will load and then fail.
    Any ideas? Am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks.
