Solaris 11 hp dl 180 g6 - installer doesn't start

Hi.
I'm trying to install solaris 11 on an hp dl 180 g6 server. My main problem is that the installer cannot start - after 'Preparing disk image for use' I got 'Login services cabbot run' and it starts the maintenance mode.
In this maintenance mode I have only a ram disk, it lacks like... everything, only some basic utilities are present.
This is second dl180 and a second failure. I tried all of the installation media options, and I got the same result.
Is there a way to install Solaris 11 manually ? Like manually create zpool (zpool and zfs utilities are present) and manually unpack the systrem from the distro ? Like it can be done in FreeBSD for example, or in Linux.
If there is such a way, then how can this be done ? Right now I'm struggling to determine where is the CD-drive having only utilities on the ramdik solaris creates.
May the the roor of the problem is in the fact that I'm installing Solaris using the dl180 ilo - so it uses the virtual image mounted via the java applet, and the hardware is treting it as an USB CD-Drive.
Did any of you guys try to install Solaris 11 viw the HP's ILO or from the USD CD drive ?
The fact is that Solaris 10 installs just fine. Looks like I will have to install it instead of the 11.

Okay. After hanging a little, experimenting with the NFS, configuring network with netcfg/netadm and finding out that dladm show-phys for some reasion doesn't think this machine is connected (and it is) I found the solution.
I'm not sure what exactly helped, so I will post both steps:
- Download and Boot from last HP SPP, install all the updates.
- Don't use the LO100i Virtual Media built-in capability of handling ISO images. Use Daemontools virtual drive ! After this the Solaris was able to boot up, found it's media and launched the installation process.
Hope it will help someone.

Oracle Universal Installer doesn't start on Windows2000 prof. with P-4 processor

Hi all,
the problem is that when I try to install Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 EE on my computer with P-4 processor with OS WIndows2000 simply nothing happens. The installation process just starts up end exits after several seconds without any error messages.
Earlier I succefully installed the same program on the Windows2000 with P-3 processor. Have anybody encountered already such problem?
thanks for any help, Igor

Thank you very much. Finally some good advice that works.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Joseph Conti ([email protected]):
I had the same problem, here is what worked for me and why.
The root of the problem the that older versions of the 1.1.x jdk don't function properly on a P4. See:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/download-jdk-windows.html
Notice they indicate there was a problem running Java 1.1.x on Pentium 4 machines and that JDK 1.1.8_008 has a fix for it.
The problem is specifically with a file named SYMCJIT.DLL although this isn't clear from reading the java site. The 8i installer includes this file twice, search for it. The version provided with the Orcale installer is older then the one provided with JDK 1.1.8_008 even though if you inspect the properties of these various files they all appear to be the same.
Download the JDK 1.1.8_008, find this file and replace the installer versions with it and all should be well!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try installing in safe mode. First, press the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode, and then, open the OS X Mountain Lion installer (on Applications folder) and try to upgrade.
If it doesn't work, I recommend you to burn the Mountain Lion installer onto a DVD or USB drive with Lion Diskmaker > http://liondiskmaker.com Then, after creating it, press the Option (or Alt) key while your Mac is starting, select the OS X Mountain Lion drive and install OS X Mountain Lion

Tiger installation doesn't start after restart

I'm trying to install Tiger using the dvd and after i double click the icon, it asks me to restart.. so i click restart and upon restart, nothing happens. All it does is restart my computer. I have all the proper specs necessary and went through the troubleshooting methods to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks

Three things. Check the DVD and make sure that it's clean as a whistle and doesn't have scratches. Run a lens cleaner on the CD/DVD device. Pop the disk in, launch Disk Utility, and do a checksum on the disk (Images->Checksum).

I'm trying to run the installer for firefox on widows 8, but the installer doesn't start.

Earlier today I tried to run Firefox and it didn't start, so I went and uninstalled it, then tried to reinstall it, but the installer would not pop up. But in the task manager I see Firefox 32bit installer is there.I've tried running it with my antivirus off. The installer worked before, and I was able to run Firefox. None of the other programs I've download are doing this.

please run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan]. also make sure that your security software isn't blocking the installation of firefox though...

Installation doesn't start in Windows 7...

Hello:
I am trying to install Reader (and Flash) on a Windows 7 machine. The installer copies itself several times in the temp folder as if it was attempting to start the installer, but it never does. Same behavior happens with the Flash installer.
I have ran all sort of registry cleaners and cleared up all registry entries related with adobe. Started the computer without any anti-virus or other protection tool that could be killing the installer.
I give up, anyone with the same problem ?
Thanks,
Juan

Download the installer for Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and save it to disk.
Download the installer(s) for Flash Player from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 and save to disk.
Close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installers.

I don't know if it helps. But I had problems with the x-server not starting (didn't even get a gui login just command line) re-setting the network properties seemed to fix it, looks like anything dodgy in the network config stuffs up the start up proceedure.

Installer doesn't work after upgrading to 10.3.3

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.3.9. I bought the upgrade to 10.3.3 and installed it (with the upgrade feature, not the archive and install) and now when I try to open the .pkg file for the upgrade to 10.3.9, the installer doesn't work. It opens and a window comes up with a large "X" in the background, but the main dialog box is blank, the two buttons on the bottom right corner of the window are blank, and clicking them doesn't do anything. I know it's the installer because the same thing happens when I try to install other programs.
I can't use the software update feature because I can't get my mac to work with my DSL connection - but that's another story.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You're Welcome John-Paul!
Yep, that's the problem!
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
A Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to again purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update.

Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

Somehow Windows 10 preview installer doesn't recognize bootcamp partition/disk which is in GPT.

This problem became tricky now.
I already searched this support communities and found many similar questions.
But most of them were that the disk is in GPT but Windows expected MBR.
There is another case where Windows installer expects GPT but the disk is in MBR.
My case is different.
The Disk Utility says the disk is in GPT. (GUID Partition Table.)
And I used Bootcamp Assistant to partition the disk.
However, the Windows 10 Technical Preview installer thinks that it's in MBR. (yes. It's for 64bit.)
So, it looks to me that Windows installer somehow obtain the disk partition information wrongly.
Are there any people who were successful in installing Windows 10 Technical Preview?
<Fig.1> Disk Utility shows that it has GPT.
<Fig.2> windows installer thinks that it's in MBR, although it's actually in GPT.
Is there any

Yes. It looks to be so. I've also read somewhere at MSDN site : GPT can contain MBR.
However, still it looks to me that its either/both Apple and MS implementation issue.Disk Utility says it's in GPT, but Windows installer doesn't think so.
I also tried DISKPART on windows to see if what partition type it thought, but it didn't give me such information.
What is even more interesting was VirtualBox. I decided to install on VirtualBox, and if "Enable EFI" option is on, the x64 version of Win 10 TP version couldn't be installed. I had to turn it off. So, according to MS, Win 10 for x64 is GPT-only. (I read so.. maybe I'm wrong.) but the "Enable EFI" mode should be turned off. Anyway, I decided to install on VM although it's slow for now.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
