Solaris 10 x86 USB/Firewire Installation

Hello,
I tried to install Solaris 10 x86 01/06 edition on an external hard disk.
The connection is via USB in one case and via Firewire in the other case. In both cases, when the installation devices appear for selection and partitioning, the external hard disk does not appear in the panel.
So, is there any method how to get the Solaris system installed on the external disk. Maybe, there is a method by installing Solaris on an internal hard disk first and then copying it onto the external disk?
For any hints, thanks in advance!
Thomas

Have you had any luck getting this to work.
I am attempting an install on a laptop (Dell Latitude D800). I removed the internal drive so all that was available was the USB drive. The drive is recognized, and everything went well through the first portion of the install. However, upon the first reboot, during the install, the reboot fails.
I then searched these forums (should have done that 1st) and it appears that booting from external drives is not possible in Solaris 10 x86.
Does anyone know if anything in the latest release of Solaris 10 (i.e. 06/06) has corrected/enabled USB/firewire booting?

  • Solaris 10 x86 Install - Firewire Issue

    Greetings,
    I am installing Solaris 10 x86 (03/05) and am running into a lot of trouble with the firewire drivers.
    The first CD installs properly, but any subsequent reboot (to install other CDs or boot the OS) fails. By watching the boot messages on a boot -v, I discovered that the system hangs after loading the firewire drivers.
    If I run the hardware configuration assistant during boot and remove both 1394 devices, I am allowed to boot - but only that once. Even if I save the hardware configuration and tell the hardware configuration tool to use it during the next boot (by pressing Esc and loading the profile), it automatically re-adds my 1394 devices and hangs. The only way I can successfully boot is by going into the hardware configuration assistant each time and removing the 1394 devices, each time. Removing the 1394 card is not an option, as this system boots other OSes for computer forensics via removable disk racks and the firewire is needed for these purposes.
    So, my question is this - how can I tell Solaris to ignore the 1394 devices without manually removing them during each boot? And how can I get the hardware configuration assistant (the one that I launch by pressing Esc during the boot process) to actually use the configurations I've saved?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure what the root cause for the firewire driver hang is.
    Maybe an issue with interrupt routing. You may want to experiment
    with BIOS ACPI / IOAPIC / PnP OS settings, and/or the
    acpi-user-options property.
    Anyway, to get rid of the firewire driver, you can probably add an
    "exclude: hci1394" line to /etc/system and reboot.

  • Solaris 8 x86 patch cluster installation

    hi. i recently installed solaris 8 x86 on my intel p4 machine. i got through the installation fine but i am now running into problems with installing the 8x86 recommended patch cluster.
    whenever i run the install_cluster script, it says every patch failed to install due to return code 1. i even tried manually installing the patches manually via patchadd...but i end up getting a message saying the patch directory is not valid.
    i basically downloaded the 8x86 recommended patch cluster zip file on a windows 2k machine. i unzip the file and then burn the patches onto a cd. i then copy the patches from the cd onto my solaris machine and try to install the patches that way. so far...this doesn't work..and i dont know what im doing wrong.
    does anyone know how to fix this problem? thx.

    hi again. i just fixed my problem. apparently when i unzipped the file and then burned it onto cd...the data got corrupted. i fixed it by copying the zip file onto cd and then extracting the patches onto the solaris machine.

  • Problem booting a Solaris 10 x86 after Jumpstart Installation

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem. I have a working x86 machine with Solaris 10 installed. I have made a flash image of it's hard disk, and I have store thar flar on another machine. I have another Solaris 10 with Jumpstart.
    I boot other x86 machine through PXE. The Jumpstart machine gives it a valid IP, and the process of sending the flash image begins. The process finish, and the client machine reboots. And here is the strange problem:
    When starting, the Grub men� appears, and shows the two options configured: first, start Solaris in normal mode, and second, failsafe.
    If I choose normal start, the screen goes black and the machine restart as if you rebooted it. I can only start in failsafe mode.
    Here are the config files in Jumpstart for that machine:
    Profile:
    install_type flash_install
    archive_location nfs 10.95.8.7:/export/backup/platform/alba-ucm/ALBA-UCM-HostID_2b72c461_4x80GbMirror-Prepared_09042008.flar

    Please, any idea about what may be hapening?

    Thanks for your answers.
    Yes, both machines have the same hardware exactly. Finally, I could find where the problem was.
    The file bootenv.rc, for some reason that I don't know, was corrupted: In it there was a correct line with bootpath variable correctly defined, but, at the end of the file, there was another line setting the bootpath variable to a long and incoherent string of chars. Booting in failsafe, mounting the system in /a, and removing that stupid line from the bootenv.rc, solved the problem.

  • Solaris 10 x86 5/08 audio driver for SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio

    Hello out there, I recently installed Solaris 10 x86 5/08 on my IBM ThinkPad T60 (2007-63U) and I'm really impressed how well it is working.
    The only thing I've found not working so far is the audio.
    I've installed the Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0 from:
    http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Hardware%20Drivers&tab=3&subcat=Audio%20Devices
    ...but it still is not recognizing the audio device.
    Everything else is working great (thank you Sun and the OpenSolaris Community!!!!!!!), so getting the audio working would be even better.
    Any pointers anyone has on what to look for on the system (e.g. in /var/adm/messages) or how to configure the audio to support the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio would be greatly appreciated.

    ...well, I've tried building oss-v4.0-build1016-src-cddl but I haven't been able to get it to work.
    In preparation for the build, I did install Sun Studio 12 (from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp ), patched it, and installed gawk-3.1.6 ( from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html ) and ran configure/make install as instructed which successfully completed.
    The following is what I get when executing ossdetect:

    To note, the Solaris 10 x86 5/08 installation I am running on is the full distribution +OEM.
    I also cannot find the "soundon" or "soundoff" scripts referenced in the OSS build instructions.
    Any pointers would be appreciated.

  • 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!!

    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 b63 USB keyboard issue

    Hello. I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on a Dell Optiplex SX280. The system uses a USB keyboard and mouse. When asked as to the type of installation to perform (1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only), I select 1, then the system start booting and the following messages are displayed:
    Configuring devices.
    Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information
    ioctl (kbd type): Invalid argument
    and hangs at this point. The keyboard stops responding so that a power cycle is the only option. Obviously the keyboard is recognized for me to select option 1 above but something happens after that. Any ideas? Thanks.

    At the "1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only" prompt the BIOS handles the keyboard. This is before the
    Solaris kernel is loaded.
    After the Solaris kernel is booted, either the Solaris PS/2 keyboard driver or the USB keyboard driver has
    to handle the system's keyboard. For your system it's apparently the USB keyboard driver.
    I'm not sure what's wrong with this system. You could try to boot into single user mode with verbose
    kernel messages enabled. At the "1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only" prompt, type
      b -vsAre there any (error) messages from Solaris' usb kernel modules? Look for messages from the modules
    "ohci", "uhci" or "ehci". ehci is for USB 2.0, while ohci & uhci are for USB 1.1 devices. I guess your
    USB keyboard is an USB 1.x device, so you need either a working "ohci" or "uhci" driver for the USB
    port where your keyboard is attached.

    Kalpesh Mehta

    I had similar problems several months ago. I suspect this happens when host pc does not have floppy drive(or bios somehow misreports it) as it was in my case. Solaris 8 seems to work fine in the same environment, so I keep using it for now. Possible workaround might be to use DCA from Solaris 8: Installation of Sol9 started just fine after I entered Sol8 DCA and asked it to boot from Sol9 CD.
    Hope this problem will be fixed in subsequent Sol9 releases.

  • 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.

    Hi All,
    Looks like it was a driver / incompatibility / unsupported issue since 2 other much smaller USB keys (Lexar USB Flash Drive – 32GB, SanDisk Cruzer Colors – 4GB) were successfully mounted automatically by volfs service as follows:
    # df -h
    Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
    /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0      5.1G   4.0G   1.1G    78%    /

    /vol/dev/dsk/c2t0d0/unnamed_rmdisk:c    29G    96K    29G     1%    /rmdisk/unnamed_rmdiskIt also appears that the Device status of Not Ready from “iostat –En” below may not be correct either since both smaller drives are working fine:

    It is necessary to install additional driver that came with the disk on Windows XP platform. However,
    Thanks again,

  • 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,
