Solaris 10 X86 Installation Struck after Loading Grub Stage 2

Hi All,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 X86 Platform on my intel system. I downloaded the iso DVD images from Sun site.
sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a.iso
sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b.iso
When I boot with the Solaris DVD 1, I am getting the message "Loading Stage 2" and returned to grub> command line
This is the message I am getting in my screen
Loading Stage 2 ... ...
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (639K lower/283584 upper memory)
*[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions os a device/filename. ]*
grub> root
*(hd1111): Filesystem type is iso9660, using whole disk*
grub>
Can some one help me on this, I tried in Google and other sun solve support forums but didnt find anything helpfull.
Anybodys help is much appreciated..
Regards, Sundar

I'm getting the same thing with Solaris 10u8 in a VirtualBox. sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso downloaded from cds.sun.com today.
(I tried the pre-made VirtualBox image Sun provides, and it's horribly dysfunctional. So I thought I'd try a fresh installation. More fool me, apparently.)
Edit: No, it's me. The problem is that the ISO I downloaded was incomplete - it cut off at precisely 2GB! The md5sum of what I downloaded is ea5a8606894d253e286861aaf4b5c50a; the official md5sum should be 9df7fd02d82976fd3ec38a18d1a57335. I guess tomorrow I try again with part A and part B ...
So it looks like the answer is: check with md5sum that you actually have the full ISO.

Solaris 10 x86 Installation Fails to Start

I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 05/08 on a Sony PCG-K115S laptop. The issue I am having is that the installation hangs after printing the copyright information and does not go any further. I get no error message or status as to what the installation is doing.
I downloaded the dvd iso from sun website and verified the md5 checksum before burning the dvd more than once but the issue occurred in both dvds.
The laptop currently has XP installed but there is 30GB of free unallocated/partitioned space on the disk.
Are there any options I can active to debug the installation and see where and why it is stalling.
Thank you,
F.
Edit 1:
After some forum reading I activated the Kernel Debugger and verbose mode:
The installation hangs after this line is printed out:
echi0 is /pci@0,0/pci104d,8175@c,2
loaded modules: [uppc neti ufs unix krtld uhci hook genunix ip usba specfs pcplusmp cpu.generic sctp arp]
Does this strike a cord with anybody??
Edit 2:
After some more reading and investigation, I read that this could be caused by my USB controller not being recognoized or some USB 2.0 issues with Solaris 10.
I have tried to deactive the usb system with the options "-B acpi_user_options=2" and "-B acpi_user_options=8" but with no luck. (I got about these on some some forum, not sure if they are correct).
Any help is appreciated!!
Thank you,
F.

OK, got a little further. I entered the incorrect value for the acpi-user-options, the number should have been in hex.
So with options "-k -v -B acpi-user-options=0x8 -B install_media=cdrom" I get the install menu
1. Interactive
On selecting "1" for interactive, the install begins be halts quickly with an error:
NOTICE: rtls0 -- link down
ERROR: Unable to configure network interface
Exiting to shell.Is there any way to disable the configuration of the network interfaces?? I don't need them for installation...
Thank you for any help,

Solaris 10 x86 Installation on Toshiba Tecra M1

After a lot of trial and error, most of my own creation, I have successfully gotten Solaris 10 installed on my laptop!
My question relates to SMF and creating a "non-networked" milestone. Mainly, umm, what should I leave out from the "all" level? Or more importantly, what should I add to the "multi-user-server" milestone to enable X?
Some items that may help others doing S10 x86 installs:
1) Tecra M1 needed "legacy floppy driver" support DISABLED in the Bios.
2) Tecra M1 installation was done in text mode (option 4) and after installation ran /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig with these settings -
mouse=auto
kbd=us, 104 key
monitor=1280x1024@70hz
vert sync was option "1" (forgot the values)
video card=27 (trident)
Works great!
3) Onboard gigabit NIC was found perfectly.
4) Sound works great
5) Touchpad or USB mouse work fine.
6) Disk setup issues -
I had windows XP on the whole 40 gig disk. Purchased "Partition Commander" and resized XP down to 1/2 the disk. However it took the beginning of the disk (cylinder 1-20000). Solaris 10 would install but would lock up on subsequent reboots. Moving XP to the upper cylinder range fixed this issue (and giving Solaris cylinders 1-X.)
7) Turn off Partition Commander before doing your solaris installation.
I've now installed S10 on dell, toshiba, HP and Sun computers. Main issues have been with peripheral ID and driver installations but other than Wireless Drivers, nothing has failed! Way to go SUN!!

problem 1 is that it's looking for ../../s0.. Which I
managed to
fake out by creating the dir in the same mount
point.
Problem 2 is that it can't find .tmp_proto, which I
must
concur with. I can't find that on any of the b72 cd
images.
So, the setup_install_server fails.This seems to be the problem when you try to setup an install
server on a Solaris SPARC system for Solaris x86 clients, using
the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10/Express CD media.
There's a Solaris x86 UFS filesystem on slice 0 on the CD media,
and it's supposed to be mounted on the "s0" mount point,
otherwise setup_install_server won't work. On a Solaris x86 box,
vold mounts it automatically for you: /cdrom/cdrom0/s2 is the
mount point for the platform independant ISO9660 part of the CD
media, /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 is the UFS root filesystem.
Problem is that Solaris SPARC:
- does not understand Solaris x86 disk labels
- does not allow mounting x86 UFS filesystems
(and vice versa).
AFAIK, Solaris 9 DVD media does not have this problem. I
guess the same will be true when Solaris 10 DVD media is
available in a few months. On the DVD media there's enough
free space to include an extra copy of the files in the ISO9660
filesystem.

Solaris 8 x86 installation runs out of space

I am installing Solaris 8 x86 on to a Dell PowerEdge Server with a 9.1 SCSI drive. Utilizing the Solaris installation process and choosing "Entire Solaris Software Group" the process completes successfully. When signed on as root and installing software from the "bonus software bundle" I simply run out of room. When reviewing the disk manager it shows that "/" is at 88% and "/usr" is at 0%. What am I doing wrong? What is the proper way to load ancillary software and to get it to load into the "/usr" and not the "/" partition?
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
Suggest you can choose custom install option, where by you can define each partion size as you wish. You may create /opt as seperate partion where you can load all your required s/w.
Or Increase size of root partion so as to accomodate /opt.
I hope this helps to you.
Thanks,
Santosh

Solaris 11 x86 installer hangs on boot

I've downloaded both sol-11-1111-live-x86.iso and sol-11-1111-text-x86.iso, they both launch grub successfully, but thereafter they hang almost instantly.
This is a photo of my monitor when the installer has died:
[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5487392/IMAG0073.jpg]
I've installed ubunut and windows successfully on the machine, so the hardware should be ok.
Is there some way I can launch the installer in verbose mode or something to more accurately pinpoint what fails during the boot?
Any other suggestions that can get me closer to installing solaris are welcome as well.

I am getting this on a Dell SC440.
I thought it might be my lowly E2160 CPU, but I've just put in an Intel Q6600 (Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz) and it still happens.
The server previously had Red Hat Linux 6 on it (actually I reinstalled it today to test it), but I booted from a DOS USB stick and used fdisk to remove all partitions, so that the 3x 80 GB SATA disks I have in there are all blank.
When I boot it goes through the initial screen with dots printing across and then displays a text line "Solaris Release 5.11 Version snv_151a 64-bit" then a copyright line and then it hangs.
I've tried both the live and text install media, with the same result.
I have used the same Solaris media to install onto another machine (an AMD powered Dell C521), and it is fine.
Any ideas/pointers?

Solaris 10 x86 installation problem on ProLiant DL380..

I'm trying to put Sol10 b72 on a dual-proc ProLiant DL380 here, with the Compaq 5i array controller.
I have the Solaris 9 drivers from HP; they seem to work just fine for the installation.
The problem comes at the end of the first disc.
Sidebar:
For one thing (and this drove me NUTS until I got lucky and caught it during a reboot), at the end of the install, on the console, it asks for the driver diskettes..again.
The problem is, it doesn't say this ANYWHERE else, only on the console..and if you're doing the installation in the X desktop, you just never know it. It doesn't write this to the xconsole window. I tried installing a good 5-6 times before, instead of hitting the power button out of frustration after the install just hung again, I actually opened up a terminal and typed 'reboot'..and caught the "Please insert the diskette and press Enter" as it killed X. If anyone at Sun is reading this..you may want to fix this, before someone gets very frustrated that their installations never seem to finish...
End Sidebar.
So...I'm doing the console text install (otherwise you'll never see the message to insert the driver diskettes for the Broadcom NIC and the Compaq array), and sure enough, at the end of the install, it asks for the diskette. I pop in the diskette it's specifically asking for (the Compaq array diskette in this instance), and hit enter. It chugs for a second and then says it can't find the driver on the diskette.
Which is incorrect, because if it haden't found it on the diskette during the device configuration assistant phase during bootup, it wouldn't have even been able to install Solaris.
So..what's up? Anyone have any ideas why Solaris finds it one time but can't find it later? Is this a bug or problem in the installation script?
Thanks,
Greg

Solaris 9 x86 installation problem on dell 600sc

I am trying to install Solaris x86 on a Dell 600sc machine. But the installation always abort. It can boot from CDROM and perform hardware scaning. It then fails and reboots itself when loading kernel from CDROM. The error message is:
Warning /pci@0,0/pci-ide@f,1/ide@0 (ata0)
timeout: abort request, target=0 lun=0
Any hint would be highly appreciated.

I am getting same error with Solaris 10.
Does any one installaed Solaris on this machine.
I am using latest BIOS from DELL.

No xwin on solaris 10 x86 installation

hi,
is it true, when we install solaris 10 for x86, all we got just text based OS, no graphical menu or something ?
i've installed solaris 10 for x86(4 cd's) on my pc, it only came with text mode. is there something left ?
thx
-newbie-

By accident, I found out that the graphics settings are remembered apparently only if a plug-and-play monitor is present (that reports its properties to the graphics adapter).
Also, during installation, be sure to watch the screen at all times. The "kdmconfig" program is apparently run also during installation. There's a 4-second window (quite at the beginning of the installation) to view the graphics properties as detected by the installer. As soon as you see this screen, hit the SPACE key to stop the timer, then verify the settings if they match your monitor and graphics adapter type. If you have the manuals of these, it's easy to figure out if the settings are appropriate. Hit ESC to start kdmconfig, it'll go right into the XSun configuration (which is used ONLY by the installer with my version of Solaris 10). The installer automatically creates a XOrg configuration and switches to XOrg after reboot (if all went well).
After successful installation of Solaris 10 (when the graphical subsystem is working), you can run "xorgconfig" (in the X binary directory) to create a "xorg.conf" file that you can place in "/etc/X11/" directory. I'm not sure if the file is actually parsed, but you can edit it to change settings if necessary.
(BTW, it would be a good idea if "kdmconfig" would allow users to enter their own maximum/minimum/fixed horizontal and vertical frequencies, edit the mode table and set +/- hsync/vsync and interlace flags, and edit a monitor setting detected automatically. I was close to hair-pulling a couple of times. Also, the installer doesn't seem to save changes to the monitor setting.)

Solaris 8 x86: Installation on disk connected via IDE controller

I have a PC with a Pentium 4 processor and the following IDE disks:
Disk 1 and 2 at the primary IDE bus.
Disk 3 connected via Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller.
I want to install Solaris 8 Intel x86 edition on Disk 3, but the installation
program only lists disks 1 and 2 as locations for install.
Is there any method how to get Solaris 8 installed on Disk 3?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hello Michael,
thanks for the information.
There is no support for the Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller listed.
Also, searching the internet for a private developed driver was not
successful.
Anyway, I have tried to make a test installation on a hard disk
connected to the primary IDE controller and I detected a lot of
further installation problems with my equipments because of
missing or not properly identified drivers.
So I think I have to make further investigations on concepts
how to get Solaris 8 run in the best way.
Thanks again for your help,
Thomas

Solaris 8 x86 installation

Has anybody tried to install Solaris 8 on a Dell PowerEdge 2650 or similar machine(dual processor at 2.4GHz each). At the beginning of the install I get ACPI errors but it allows me to continue. After installing all the appropriate drivers and selecting to install from CDROM the system indicates that it cannont find the CDROM and reboots. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I recall having that problem on an older poweredge. The solution was to use a different cdrom drive than the factory installed one or move it to the other bus. I cant remember off the top of my head, but I think the factory one was scsi, and was either plugged into an AMI raid card or the MB scsi controller. I think I either had to move it to the other scsi bus, or add an IDE cdrom to get it to work. It's only necessary on install, and you can move it back to where ever once it's installed and it will recognize without problems. It was only on install that it was an issue. I am 80% that it was scsi, and originally plugged into the mb's integrated scsi and it needed to be moved to the raid, but it's been a while since I did it, and I dont remember for sure. Good luck.

Solaris 8 x86: Resource Conflict

Hello,
My x86 PC has:
- Elitegroup K7S5A mainboard
- AMD Athlon K7 XP 2400+ Socket A thoroughbred CPU
- AmiBIOS
- 256 MB SDRAM
- 2 Hard Disks with 40 GB each
When I start Solaris 8 installation with the installation CD, the following is displayed in the screen "Bus Enumeration":
Determining bus types and gathering hardware configuration data ...
Warning: Resource Conflict - both devices are added
NON-ACPI device: ISY0050
Port: 3F0-3F5, 3F7; IRQ: 6; DMA: 2
ACPI device: ISY0050
Port: 3F2-3F3, 3F4-3F5; 3F7; IRQ: 6; DMA: 2
Next screen with "Bus Enumeration" shows:
Warning: Resource Conflict - both devices are added
NON-ACPI device: CSC0001
Port: 200-207
ACPI device: CSC0001
Port: 201-208
Next screen "Scanning Devices" works o.k.
Then the boot starts in line modus and shows the following:
error: Configuration error - missing controller?
The root file system is not mounted and the configuration assistant has exited prematurely. Booting is unlikely to succeed.
Shortly later boot stops.
Please, can anybody tell me what the root of the error is? Is there something to be configured in the BIOS?
Thank you very much in advance!
Thomas

Continuing installation of my Solaris 8 x86 after a long break.
As mentioned above, the installation works now with the patched ata.bef. The installation seems to work o.k. After completion of the installation, I boot to the second hard disk where my Solaris 8 x86 installation is located. Solaris boot manager appears, Solaris boot process begins but shortly after, it stops with the following message:
error: Configuration error - missing controller?
The root filesystem is not mounted and the configuration assistant has exited prematurely. Booting is unlikely to succeed. CRL-ALT-DEL may be used to reset the machine.
Failover to boot interpreter - type ctrl-d to resume boot
Pressing ctrl-d leads to
boot: source: open of '/etc/bootrc' failed
My configuration as mentioned at the beginning of the thread did not change in the meantime. Is there any idea what is wrong?
Thanks in advance!

The Database of SunMc 4.0 didn't start, on Solaris 10 X86

Hello, happy new year, i am installing the three layers of SunMC 4.0 (server, agent and console), under Solaris 10 X86.

... and ... before running es-inst you have to add the PostgreSQL packages from the Solaris Media (5.10 U5 in my case)
Step order again:
- kill all postmaster processes (PostgreSQL Procs)
- if applicable svcadm disable all sunmc services
- /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-uninst -X
- remove all SUNWpostgr* and SUNWpg* packages
- install these Packages - to be downloaded from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc10.html:
libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.gz , zlib-1.2.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz , readline-5.2-sol10-sparc-local.gz
or - the x64 respectively
- edit /etc/project to have this line for "default" : default:3::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,2684354456,deny)
the value have to be calculated by one third of your physical memory.
- add the original postgreSQL packages from the Solaris install media :
SUNWpostgr-libs
SUNWpostgr
SUNWpostgr-contrib
SUNWpostgr-devel
SUNWpostgr-server-data
SUNWpostgr-server
SUNWpostgr-jdbc
SUNWpostgr-pl
SUNWpostgr-tcl
SUNWpostgr-docs
- run es-inst again from your install image path

Xorg lockup on Solaris 10 x86

As reported on the HCL and a sun blog, Solaris 10 x86 installs on an EPIA ME6000 using Xorg and VESA drivers. But when I switched resolution to something other than 640x480 I get this white screen with some garbage text (it looks like text mode). I get this white screen whenever the display login is invoked, which means everytime I reboot I get this nonfunctional display. CTRL-ALT-Backspace does nothing so I don't think I'm in X.
Q: Is there a way to cancel/bypass the display login when the OS boots? Maybe I can reconfigure the Xorg video modes this if I can just get some kind of access (console?).
Q: Anybody know of any good video drivers for VIA/S3G Unichrome IGP?

Kernel panics after loading modules

After an update from a few days ago, my computer started getting kernel panics upon boot (i.e. after "Loading Modules" stage). After a restart (hitting the restart button on the case, obviously), the system boots seamlessly. The weird thing is, it locks up only in the morning, when I first turn it on. No matter how many times I start it later on during the day, everything works just fine. The same behavior as presented in here.
Relevant info:

This is not such a big deal (since a simple reboot solves my problem), but I'm afraid if this behavior might be pointing to a larger hardware issue.
Any help is appreciated :)

Hey. I was just about to make the exact same thread as you did. I'm having the same problem. The first boot of the day will fail, but later boots are OK. Error messages are the same as yours. My problems started 04.01.11, and the only system upgrade I did that day was the following:

Maybe this can help narrowing down the search for the troublemaker.
