Solaris 10 issue with Memory 1GB on Intel 855GME

With 2GB memory installed on an Intel 855GME based Single Board Computer, we are experiencing extremely slow boots and installs with Solaris 10 (03/05). The boards boot on the order of 25-35 minutes. They are slow during the "configuring devices" phase. After the systems boot they seem fine. An install of Solaris 10 disk 1 takes approximately 2 1/2 hours with 2GB memory installed.
We have tested with 512 MB or 1GB SODIMMs installed and have no issues on several boards. We are trying to integrate the 2GB memory parts. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Here is updated information on this 2GB/855GME issue. Any assistance, solution, or insight is very much appreciated.
We are seeing orders of magnitude (30x) increase in access time in a segment at the top of memory when the memory installed is 2 Gigabytes and booting the Solaris operating system. This segment starts at 0x3E000000 (physical - 32 megabytes from the top) up to the 8 Megabytes 'stolen' by the video (or 24 megabytes). The huge increase in Solaris boot time is because (according to our Sun technical contact) Solaris allocates memory from the top down which means its using the slow memory to boot. The symptoms change if the Internal Graphics Device (IGD) is disabled and a PCI video card is used, OR, if the IGD is set to 'steal' all 32 Megabytes available thus consuming the 'slow memory' area.
We have opened an Intel Quad issue outlining the symptoms above (see Quad text below). They suspect MTRR setup in 'anticipation' of IGD use of the memory. However, dumps of the MTRR's via emulator both with and without the IGD are the same.
Note: other model specific registers, such as the BBL_CR_Dx registers are different with/without IGD, but as they are for accessing L2 cache, don't appear to be pertinent to this problem. This opinion could change with more study.

According to the Lion webpage, you would need to add more RAM to your computer and check to make sure you have about 7GB of free hard drive space.

Issue with memory when trying to do a restore on iPad 2

I'm had a few issues with my iPad and am trying to do a restore, I start OK but then after a while I get a "can not be restore. The disk you are attempting to use is full" the PC I am using does not have a large C drive and space is limited but I do have a large external drive attached with loads of space. Is there any method of using the external hard drive when restoring?
I hope this makes sence, iPad now been down for over a week and issues getting me down.

The restore must be done within iTunes on your PC while iTunes is running so - No - you cannot restore using the external drive. You might try moving some of the stuff on your C drive to the external drive to free up space and then restore your iPad.

Solaris 10 issue with CD 2

I am installing solaris 10 on some old SunBlade 100
All is working fine with the first CD then I reach a point where I am asked to insert a the second CD. I put it in and is not recognized but I can mount it in my linux box.
Same for all the other CD.
The only way I can proceed with the installation is.
reboot with the next cd inserted than it works...
I am not to expert with solaris maybe I am missing something stupid...
Thank you!

975x PUE issues with memory

Hi guys,
I have my old 975x running with no problems with 2GB OCZ since a really long time, everything worked smoothly and i never did any OC of any type in the board.
But nowdays 2GB is really few to keep the system and games running with no issues so i decided to upgrade to 4GB, i bought 2 Kingston modules (more precisely this ones -> http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/PartsInfo_ar.asp?root=latam&LinkBack=http://www.kingston.com/LatAm&ktcpartno=KVR800D2N6/2G, but i have encountered problems.
The issue is that when i put the memory the BIOS shows in post 3669952K of memory, witch is roughly 3,5GB, from what i read in several threads about i take that it is a memmory allocation issue that should solve itself once a x64 OS is installed.
But the problem is that when this 4GB modules are installed the board hangs and i cant even run a install of any OS, basically the BIOS posts, i get the "updating DMI pool data..... sucess" then "press any key to boot from CD" and then just a black screen and nothing happens, when i remove one of the modules everything starts to run fine again.
Things i tried:
- Both modules running alone in case one of the modules is broken, both works ok as long as they are alone.
- Another 2x2GB modules (OCZ), same results
- yet another 2x2GB modules (8GB total filling up all slots), and shows 7,5GB and it keeps crashing.
- Every variable in witch i can put 2 modules in the 4 slots.
- Load bios Fail-Safe config, same results
- Load bios Optimized setup, sme results.
I have the 7.1 BIOS version witch from MSI changelog i understand that it should work fine, still, im thinking about upgrading to BIOS 7.9 but i dont know quite how and wanted to ask first if it will solve anything cus i dont want to take the risk if no change would come.
What could this be?
Thanks a lot.
edit:
Here are some caps of the BIOS information tab
and another on post.

Hi jack,
thanks for the reply, i've tried the clear CMOS but none of the 2 methods apply to this MB so this is what i did:
1.- Unplugged power cord and waited about a minute
2.- Press the clear CMOS button SW on the MB, and waited about one minute
3.- Press the power button to be sure as it says on the guide, and waited about one minute
4.- Power on the system.
and this is the other thing i tried.
1.- Unplugged power cord and waited about a minute
2.- Removed the battery and waited about a minute
3.- Press the clear CMOS button SW on the MB and waited about a minute
4.- Reinserted battery
5.- Power on
and then
1.- Unplugged power cord and waited about a minute
2.- Removed the battery and waited about a minute
3.- Reinserted battery
4.- Press the clear CMOS button SW on the MB and waited about a minute
5.- Power on
Same results =(
I tried with 1 or 2 memory modules and the same thing keeps happening, here's a cap of the screen where it gets stucked.
What's with the 1024k OK memory testing? it keeps saying that either i put 1GB or 2GB memory.

Issue with memory for java fx 1.3

Dear all,
I need your help for an issue.
I developed a java fx application with version 1.3 and I 've now a big issue...during use memory grows until application crashes...
Is there a way to release memory during use..i read about problem with java fx release of memory...my application is almost not usable and I can't upgrade it to 2.0.
Can you give me some help?
I run it in this way
javafx -classpath xxxx.jar x2.Main
is there some option to optimize it? To increase memory for jvm?
Please help me, after about 30minutes application grows to 500MB of memory and crashes for memory leak...
Thanks

Hi,
About what kind of bounds are you talking about?
Do you want to accomplish to print out X,Y coordinates of that custom Node/Shape?

Issue with Memory ID export / import

Hi Experts,
We are facing strange issue during export/import from memory ID.
We are exporting value to Memory ID from module pool program and trying to import same value in SAP workflow method.
While importing the value from memory ID it is failing to import and gives sy-subrc =4.
Any idea how can we do export/import in module pool program to Workflow method?
Regards,
Sanjana

Hi sanjana,
Please check the link. Here you can find some examples also.

P.S
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3bf8358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
You just need to create a key and an ID to save data into INDX table.Once its saved you can use same key and id to import .
Again mentioning , dont forget to delete using same key and ID once you have imported else it may give error.

Reimaging issue with Disk Utility on Intel mac

My department recently acquire 2 intel iMacs (24")
I have a bootable PPC firewire drive on which I keep .dmgs of each machines for redo/updates. With the new machines I partitioned out a firewire drive to GUID and made it a bootable intel OS disk. I am able to create a backup of the first iMac I have configured but unable to use this image to restore the 2nd iMac's hard drive.
I have tried both manually erasing and unmounting the drive but I continually get a Restore Error: Could not open connection to helper tool.
Any ideas?

So you created an image of one iMac onto the FWHD and can't restore it to the second iMac. If you're booting with the second iMac, then you cannot restore the image to a booted volume. You need a separate bootable volume to do that. Easiest thing to do is first restore the configured iMac's HD to the FWHD, then creatte the image. Now you should be able to boot the second iMac with the FWHD, mount the image, and restore it. Or, dispense with the image and just restore the FWHD to the second one.

Call function starting new task - Issue with memory variables

Hi All,
From our OIL application we have a call to the core delivery update FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE starting new task.Before the call we are exporting a variable to memory and deep inside the FM we have an oil routine which checks the value of this variable to decide on further flow. But since the FM is called in new task the variable is not available here.
We cannot use the SET GET parameter also as this value can be different for each session.
Can anyone suggest how to set and get the parameter value in this flow.
With regards,
Usha

Hi again,
To check whether the FM is running in new task or not - This is what I have tried (this may not be the best way), but it works fine.
1. The variable to check inside the called FM is SY-CPROG.
2. This variable will have value.
RS_TESTFRAME_CALL - If being checked from se37
Z / Y program - if called from the original z / y program (WITHOUT new task).
SAPMSSY1 - if being called using NEW TASK (and no debugging)
hope this helps.
Regards,
Amit Mittal.

Solaris 9 issue with pthread_cond_timedwait() and rdate

The following program produces bizarre behavior. Basically, it is a two threaded program. Thread 1, after setting everything up, simply waits (for a long time) on a condition variable via pthread_cond_timedwait(). The second thread simply forks off a command at the users behest. The problem is that once an rdate has been exec'd, the next time this program forks, the pthread_cond_timedwait() returns ETIMEDOUT, even though it is nowhere near the timeout time (in this example, one day). It's important to realize that the rdate does not actually have to be exec'd via this program. If this program is running and you open another window and do an "rdate <some system>", the pthread_cond_timedwait() will still return ETIMEDOUT the next this program forks a process. Also, just to stem off the obvious question, the system to which rdate is pointed (in my environment) has the exact same time as the system running this program, so there is no effective time/date change on this system.
I just did one other quick test, the same behavior is observed if do a regular "date" that sets the date, instead of just interrogating the date. Again, even if the date is set to the current date/time, the problem occurs.
Finally, I should point out that this only happens on Solaris 9. I have been unable to reproduce it on Solaris 8 or Solaris 2.6. I don't have a Solaris 7 system to try. The problem is not recreatable on Linux or AIX (or at least not the several different levels of each that I have). The program was created using GCC V2.95.3.
I'm assuming that this is some kind of bug in Solaris 9. Any thoughts?
Sorry for what looks like a lack of indentation. I'm not sure how to tell the forum to keep my indentation.

Probably the simplest way to use threads on Solaris is to use pthreads -- it's a portable thread interface that is the same on nearly all operating systems.
To use pthreads in C or C++ using Sun compilers, include <pthread.h> in your code, add the option -mt to every command line, and add -lpthread to each link command.
The full power of Solaris threads is not available via the pthread interface, but pthread is often all you need.
For more information, consult the C++ Users Guide, the Solaris man pages related to threads and pthreads.
Books on the topic are also available. ACCU has an extensive list of reviewed books. Here is a review of a book about pthreads:

Strange issue with memory module in Sat Pro 4300 series

I have a notebook Toshiba satellite pro 4300 series with 64MB Onboard + 64MB Module and I want to upgrade my memory to 320MB. I bought two ram of 128MB each. I removed the 64MB module and I put in the Slot (A) one of 128MB module but I saw that the total memory is of 128MB again.
I removed the module again and I put the second module into Slot (A) but I saw that the total memory is of 128MB again. After this I put the two modules into my notebook (Slot A and Slot B) but I see that the total memory is of 192MB.This means that it recognizes each module as 64MB and not as 128MB. Dose anybody know why this happens?
And what do I have to do to fix it?
Thanks.

This would be correct if the modules where indeed 64MB. The mother board has 64MB of memory already fitted directly to it so if you leave out the expansion modules the system still see 64MB. By fitted any one of the modules you have will add another 64MB making 128MB and so by fitting the second module will thus give you 192MB which is exactly what you getting.
Therefore you have almost certainly been sold the incorrect modules, 64MB instead of the 128MB modules.

Issue with iOS 6 and Intel My wi-fi technology

Hi,
Since iOS 6, I'm not able to connect to a web application on a Windows 7 throught Intel My Wi-Fi Technology, everything was working fine before with iOS 5.1.
I received an IP adress from the Intel My Wi-Fi Technology but when I target the web site, I received <Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server> Everything is working fine if I connect to the wifi office network instead of connecting throught to the Intel My Wi-Fi.
thanks for your help.

Same here. Sadly, I started this thread a while back (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3502104?start=0&tstart=0) to figure out how best to get all songs locally on my iPhone.
Combine the above + this bug + the fact that I left my house on a 6 hour roadtrip meant I got slammed with 18GBs of data download. AT&T support couldn't even stop the downloading for me - I was on the phone with them (while on the road) for over an hour).
The only resolution they said was to restore to factory settings (not an option for me while I was on the road. So I had to let it play out - and am now on the phone with AT&T customer support trying to get my bill adjusted.
Total nightmare...

Solaris 10 issue with the DNS when connected via DHCP

driver alias for Realtek RTL 8029 AS - ni0, driver is installed from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/. IP, shown on ADSL modem TP-Link ADSL2+ Router TD-8810 - 192.168.1.1 .
To connect to the Internet in the terminal I enter:
ifconfig -a
ifconfig ni0 unplumb
ifconfig ni0 plumb
ifconfig ni0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default 192.168.1.1
After that, I can turn on ADSL modem or the computer hangs)
Now in the terminal I enter:
ifconfig ni0 dhcp
The computer connects to the Internet.
Problem: does not work DNS, visible are only addresses without a domain name (eg http://86.106.213.1:8080/).
ping 89.33.1.18 - is alive, ping boom.md - the domain for 89.33.1.18 - host unknown.
I tried to:
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
and
write DNS-server in /etc/resolv.conf in format:
nameserver <IP-address>
After running DHCP nsswitch.conf file is back to default, not using DNS, a resolv.conf file after a reboot does not exist. Domain names are still unknown.

I'm using exact scan already and have switchresx.
I've actually solved the problem, don't ask me how.
I connected it up via the VGA interface to see whether that would make a difference, the picture was centralised but the resolution was not great.
So I swapped it back to the HDMI interface, rebooted the Mac and when it came back up the HDMI 1920x1080 desktop was perfectly aligned.
So have no idea why but it is now working.

10.4.8 - Major Issues with Airport card on Intel 17"

Hi -
I have installed the new terrorist update 10.4.8....To me it seem more like installing a virus than an update on an OS. My computer which was soooo fast (MacBook Pro 17") has now lost about 50% performance on all flanks... My Airport card is ERRATIC as HE** and I hate my self for updating.... I've already done repairing of any of the usual suspects
DONT UPDATE TO 10.4.8

for airport try this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
open shell anf type:
sudo update_prebinding -degug -root / -force
restart
check the performance.
