Solaris 10 sol-10-u6-ga1-sparc-dvd not a bootable image

Can anyone tell me if this is an isolated issue (specific DVD drives/systems) or if this is an issue on ALL systems?

I'm having the same problem.
An interesting tidbit -- I can burn Disk One of the 5 CD set to a DVD-R disk, and it will boot.
But when I burn the Full Set to a DVD-R disk, it will NOT boot.
I may be wrong, and I often am, but I think there's something wrong with the ISO image. If there is something I'm doing wrong on this end, why would the full set fail when disk 1 works fine?
<:-(

    /etc/system is by default "empty" and contents only commented parameters or instructions.
    And patches will not change this file. The shmsys, hires_tick, semsys and the other settings including /etc/project customizations that you have in the other machine was set manually or added during softwares configuration.

  • FF 20 installed on Solaris 10 SPARC, will not run, crashed on start-up.

    Building new non-global zone w/Solaris 10 - Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC.
    Installed fresh download of V20 - firefox-20.0.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-sparc.tar.gz. Installed with no issues.
    FF crashing immediately upon start up. I get the FF window, paints a box in the middle. Shows transfering data from either mozilla.org or mozilla.analytics.org. Crashed with core dump before any actual download is seen.
    I installed V 18.0.1 and am seeing almost the same results. FF comes up but then crashes as sson as you try and do anything.
    I have several core dumps available if anyone can read them..

    There were no specific error messages. The launch attempted as described above. The browser would then just go away and then I get -
    [1] Segmentation Fault ./firefox (core dumped).
    I generated several core dumps. They are attached below. The file is a tarball of a few gzipped cores.
    I have tried twice to 'upload' the files. The first was 5 cores 440 MBs. I then tried just a single core, around 90 MBs, compressed. Both failed. Is there a better way to directly upload files of this size for your review?

  • How similar is x86 compared to Solaris 8 or 9 on SPARC?

    How similar is x86 compared to Solaris 8 or 9 on SPARC?
    Thanks.

    Extremely similar. The vast majority of Solaris is built from the same source code for both platforms. You will find all of the same commands in places like /usr/bin and /usr/dt/bin.
    Of course, the instruction sets are different. While all of the same commands may exist in those places and they implement the exact same functions with the exact same options, the binary files are different. You can't run x86 binaries on SPARC or vice versa.
    While the Solaris binaries provide the exact same functionality, the same is not necessarily true with other packages that can be added. Sun's Java Enterprise System is supposed to eventually have all the same programs for SPARC and x86, and that is almost true already. StarOffice is only available for now for SPARC, but OpenOffice is available for both. Third party software may exist only for one or the other, but this is improving fast. A huge amount of Solaris x86 software can be installed from blastwave.org and other sites.
    If you are a developer, there is a good chance that your code for SPARC will work on x86 with just a recompile. The system call APIs are identical. If it does not work with just a recompile, it is because you have a bug in your code or you used non-portable constructs like assuming a particular byte order (SPARC is big endian, x86 is little endian).
    Solaris and most SPARC hardware both come from Sun, so of course Solaris supports all the hardware you are likely to find shipped with a SPARC machine. You can buy x86 machines from Sun, but you are likely to look elsewhere. Since Sun does not control what is in the machine, Solaris may not support all the hardware. Again, this situation is getting better. Still, you should consult Sun's Hardware Compatibility List. Note that Sun isn't good about saying this, but Solaris 9 supports all of the hardware in the Solaris 9 list and all of the hardware in the Solaris 8 list. You must look in both places to see what Solaris 9 supports.

    Hi Solaris 8 is supported for Sparc Station 5 machines and should install just fine. However Solaris 8 is not supported on 4c architecture systems like the Sparc Station 1's and 2's...etc.
    You can find a list of supported systems at the following URL:

    It's probable that the CD 'side' of the combo drive has failed.  That you cannot boot from the recovery CD is pretty much proof of the failure.  

  • Mac Pro not recognizing bootable DVDs and Disk Utility giving odd results.

    My issue is complex, but I'll try my best to explain it as I can.
    One has been resolved it seems, but I am including it so that the whole issue can be seen in context.
    Friday, May 16, 2014
    Last night, after rebooting my Mac Pro from my Bootcamp partition (I'm using Windows 7 Professional if that information is helpful) I received a kernel panic upon Mac OS X booting (Mac OS X 10.6.8).
    My first action was to launch Disk Utility to verify the Mac HD, verify was stopped by disk utility citing that I should insert my Mac OS X install DVD and repair the disk.
    I tried booting from my Snow Leopard install DVD. After the grey Apple logo appeared with the gear spinning below it remained for roughly ten to fifteen seconds (a little long) — then the Apple logo changed to. A grey prohibitory sign (circle with a diagonal line through it, the spinning gear remained. — I tried booting from the Snow Leopard DVD a few time, same result.
    Following this I tried booting using Disk Warrior, same result again.
    I tried booting both the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs in both my upper and lower optical drives, with no change.
    I decided to leave the issue and call Apple Support in the morning
    Saturday, May 17, 2014
    This morning I woke my Mac Pro from sleep, opened Disk Utility and tried verifying the hard drive to see if it was temporary — same result, 'please insert the Mac OS X install DVD and repair the drive.' — I also tried booting the install DVD again with no result.
    I then booted my Mac into Safe Mode to check my hardware.
    Upon opening Disk Utility and verifying my Mac HD — the result "Macintosh HD appears to be OK", rand the test again to see if this was an anomaly, but disk returned another pass.
    I performed a normal restart of my system, although Finder was a little slower to load than normal, the system booted correctly. — I then launched Disk Utility and verified the Mac HD, it returned another pass.
    This confused me, after a call to Apple Support the tech explained that 'sometime a Safe Mode boot will fix problems because it disables all non-essential processes when booting. — That makes sense to me.
    However.
    The issue of my Mac not recognizing bootable DVDs remains — it reads disks correctly, it just will not boot them.
    Other steps I have taken to try and resolve this remaining issue.
    1. a PRAM reset. — No change.
    2. an SMC reset. — No change.
    3. Removal of newly installed RAM. — I have tried both running the old and new RAM separately, no change using either combination.
    4. Running bootable DVDs in different optical bays. — No change from both bays.
    a. My upper drive is an MCE Blu-Ray/DVD combo drive, but I have booted from this drive before. (Less than six months old.)
    b. My lower drive is LG DVD-RAM combo drive, I have also booted from this drive before. (Over one year old, replacement for an Apple optical drive.)
    None of the above steps have helped, I still cannot boot from my optical drives — I always receive a prohibitory sign shortly after the Apple logo.
    Other system information:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    8GB of RAM (4 x 2GB)
    500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD (less than a year old, boot drive for Mac OS X 10.6.8)
    1TB Samsung HDD (for data storage and also containing Bootcamp partition)
    2TB HDD (cannot remember manufacturer, contains Time Machine backups, as well as data storage)
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of VRAM
    Sorry for the long post but I really need to be able to boot from my optical drives.

    Update: found an old Mountain Lion installation USB flash drive I created a while back.
    I am able to boot from the ML USB flash drive, but am still unable to boot from my either my Snow Leopard Install DVD or my Disk Warrior DVD. — I have verified both DVD and they pass verification tests.
    This leads me to believe that the problem resides either in the Mac, or in BOTH  the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs.
    Since I am able to boot from a USB drive, I will look into the possibility of creating a bootable Snow Leopard drive, and perhaps also a Disk Warrior drive — at least until I can resolve the 'not able to boot from DVD' issue.

  • Solaris 10 - system hung, and now will not boot

    I have a SunFire V240 with 2 73 SCSI disks running Solaris 10. Only the first disk has been formatted. The box was newly installed last week.
    It had 2 zones set up on it and one of them was running a service out of it (called knowledgetree). I came in this morning (monday), and although I could ping the main server and the zone, I could not ssh to the box. I hooked up a console cable to the box, and there was nothing.
    I then went to the OK prompt and typed boot.
    It said
    1} ok boot disk2
    Boot device: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a File and args:
    Can't open boot device
    {1} ok
    I then typed
    {1} ok setenv auto-boot? false
    auto-boot? = false
    {1} ok reset-all
    followed by
    {1}ok probe-scsi
    Target 1
    Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST373207LSUN72G 045A
    If I type the following I get the results below.
    {1} ok show-disks
    a) /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/disk
    b) /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk

    q) NO SELECTION
    Enter Selection, q to quit: a
    /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/disk has been selected.
    Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
    e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
    for creating devalias mydev for /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/disk
    Does anyone have any ideas on what happened, or what I have to do to get the OS to boot again. I am a bit of a nubie when it comes to Solaris .... I am not sure what happened, or why all of the sudden the server will not boot.
    Thanks for the help
    Peter

    Usually you can just do a "boot disk" or "boot disk1"
    devalias will show you what actually devices the short alias map too.
    It might be a faulty drive bay.
    Try pulling it out of one and plugging it into another.
    The do the probe-scsi again.
    Then put it back into the first to confirm....

  • Import DVD (not copywritted)PLEASE HELP ASAP

    I do a lot of volunteering for the Children's Miracle network. I recently received a 6 minute DVD that is not copy writed in anyway. Its on a DVD-R. I want to import that DVD and transfer it over to another iDVD project and add it to a small DVD I'm making.
    Once again, there is no write protection, I have all the permission needed to do this, so its not violating any terms of use.
    My question is obvious, how would I do this? I need to mass burn 40 of these DVD's ASAP to give away at a fundraiser.
    Thanks for your help!

    you don't need a Ripper ( verboten ) , but a converter..
    and just copying the TS folders uses the wrong disk format (=dvd not playable on standalone DVDplayers...)
    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    VisualHub (23.32$)
    Drop2DV (free)
    Cinematize >60$
    Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

    I worded my question incorrectly. It isn't a DVD I'm having the problem with, it' s a Nightwish concert download form iTunes I am having the video portion of the video that plays not smoothy. Like it is moothing it short little segments, not a steady flow!

  • Burned DVD not as expected

    I created a short slideshow with iPhoto '05, added music and set the slideshow to fit the music. Exported to iDVD, added a photo and music to one of the 04 themes. The slideshow previews in both iPhoto and iDVD look fine, it's when I burn it onto a DVD that it doesn't look right. The photos in the slideshow are brighter and more saturated than the ones in iPhoto, there are what look like splotches on the parts where the vivid colors are. I tried burning another DVD with the Best Quality setting switched to the other setting and viewed it with two different DVD players, my PB G4 and MBP. It does seem a little better than the first burn but it's still nowhere near as good as the iPhoto and iDVD previews.
    This didn't happen in the previous burn projects using the same settings.
    What happened to my slideshow?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Happy Holidays to whomever reads this.

    Hmmm. The preferences are confusing -- if your show is less than an hour, use Best Performance to yield the best looking result (least compression).
    TVs can have difficulty showing the brightest reds, deep blacks, etc. Those colors tend to bleed into the surrounding area, and should be avoided for font colors. And it's possible that your computer display will generally look better than the TV when playing the DVD (note: an iPhoto slideshow will almost always look better on your computer -- no DVD compression and a high quality monitor).
    Lower quality media can introduce problems -- check this by Saving as Disc Image from iDVD, and play the resulting virtual DVD using Apple's DVD PLayer.
