Solaris 8 on HP Pavilion 8665C?

Greetings,
Has anyone installed S8 on a HP Pavilion 8665C? I'm having problem getting it to recognize some hardwares, such as the pci NIC card, the graphic cards, and the modem. (Pretty much all the equipments that came with this pc...)
I've tried running RH6.0 Linux. These equipments don't work there either.
(But these equipments work fine and dandy in Win98. All of them.)
Advices will be grateful. Thanks in advance!!!

HP's policy was never to certify their value Vectra line with Solaris Intel (their major customers wanted Kayak
etc so the focus was put there). Hence the Vl, VE series etc do not appear on the Hardware Compatibility
List.
In spite of this it is conceivable that you can still install Solaris, but you might need to resort to 3rd party
video drivers etc to configure a complete system working the way you would expect. Best way is to try it
and report back with your experiences - and a detailed list of hardware in the machine if you run into trouble.

Solaris x86 on HP pavilion laptop

I am trying to install solaris x86 version on my pavilion zt1000. The solaris install cd boots and then crashes with the following "boot panic: trap type 0 error 0 at 13bd7f" and bunch of register information.
I have tried 3 different CDs and even tried creating a bootable floppy disk. The floppy disk booting just hangs at the solaris boot manager screen.
Any ideas ???
To start with can solaris be installed on a HP pavilion
Thanks for any info anybody can provide.
Sriram

I do remember that everyone who installed on a laptop had to use an external keyboard during the installation. While I dont have any info specific to the HP, search the forum for past laptop posts - someone has probably had a similar issue and take a look at these pages.

Solaris on HP Pavilion

Hi all,
unfortunately, Solaris 10 x86 was not working well on my Toshiba Satellite A10. To many problems, so I had to install Ubuntu.
I would like to give it a try on my HP Pavillion AMD Athlon, but this model is not listed in the HCL.
I'm wondering whether someone has installed Solaris on this machine .
Thanks,
Stephan

I was able to install Solaris 10 on an HP Pavillion 750n, I don't have the particulars of the internal components. It used to ahve XP installed (tried to make it a dual-boot system), but had to sacrafice XP to get Solaris to install.
I know that you are asking about a different machine, but it is a Pavillion, so you may be able to do a little comparison on the HP website (perhaps) to see how similar or different they are.
Good luck with the install, I had a real hard time with it, but I think that it was attributable to XP.

Solaris installation on amd64 laptop

Hi!
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000 with an amd64 processor).
The installation begins normally with GRUB. The problems I a experiencing start when I have the opportunity to choose between 'Solaris interactive', 'Custom jumpstart' and take place whatever is the choice I made with GRUB (Solaris, ttya or ttyb).
The screen becomes almost unreadable. Strange characters are displayed and many others are missing. It is also impossible to interact with the system using the keyboard. The only way to proceed is to wait to reach the timeout to select automatically the default option.
Moreover the installation freezes randomly, sometimes during the countdown (after which 'Solaris interactive' is chosen by default) or afterwards... But this always takes place at different times. Anyway I cannot read what is displayed on the screen.
Would you have any ideas?
Thank you very much!

The reason is simple why it's work on VirtualBox. In VBox, this software emulates a generic graphical chipset. In one phrase, we have the same chipset for each machine type.
Look if Solaris 10 can run with VESA driver and when not you can still share the chipset reference that you have and I can try to see if this is supported or not.

Javier030664

Hi javier!
I have similar problems and found this solution:
When booting press ESC at prompt, then choose 'device tasks' and disable some devices, e.g. USB controller or network adapter. Then go back to main menu and continue install.

Logical interface in solaris 10

Hi there,
I need to configure logical interface in a solaris 10 3/05 server. After reading the Solaris 10 IP services manual, I am not quite sure what to do. All the examples and explanation are about using the new subcommand addif of ifconfig. It was not clear in the documentation if the setting logical interfaces via addif will persist across boot.
Can one still configure logical interface in Solaris 10 in a more traditional way like in Solaris 8? In an Solaris 8 server I will do the following.
Let's assume I want to configure in a solaris 8 server a logical interface named hme0:1 with IP address 192.168.20.28 with netmask 255.255.255.0 for hostname host001
# cat /etc/hostname.hme0:1
host001
^D
# echo "192.168.20.28 host001" >> /etc/inet/hosts
# echo "192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/inet/netmasks
# reboot -- -r
Can one still do that in solaris 10 3/05 server?

You don't need to reboot (you can run ifconfig for this boot and let the files do the work next time) and the -r doesn't do anything with interfaces (expecially virtual interfaces) anyway.

Pavilion Elite e9180f freezes, crashes, BSOD

I am one of the many unhappy customers who bought this piece of junk (Pavilion Elite e9180f) and waited too long to return it because in my naivete, I thought it was some kind of simple software issue. Nope! It's definitely something wrong with the hardware, because the freezes and crashes have been happening since day 1, right when I took the thing out of the box.
Yeah, the system is fast and runs Windows Vista great, when it's actually WORKING, which is usually only guaranteed for about the first 5 minutes after you power the system on and boot windows. After that, it's just buying time before it crashes again. Forget trying to get anything done on this computer. Forget about asking this PC to play a video or music file without the files "stuttering" during playback. Even my 7 year old Sony Vaio which is running XP can handle playing an MP3 file without stuttering and crashing!
Like everyone else, the freezes and crashes happen either one of two ways:
1) The machine begins to "stutter", stutter more, then freeze/crash. When I say stutter, I mean I move the mouse, the pointer graphic will hesitate on the screen and lag behind. If you start to play a video or music file, this manifests in an audible "stutter". The stuttering gets worse and worse as minutes pass until eventually it freezes for good, blasting that 1/50th second moment of audio into infinity. You have to reboot immediately if you don't want to go deaf or be driven mad.
2) I will be doing nothing at the time (example, I close all programs out and leave Windows sitting on the main desktop screen), I'll walk out of the room for a minute, then come back and find I can't move the mouse. This system will often lock-up without any warning!
Sometimes I'll get a BSOD or error screen, sometimes I won't (in which case your only option is to do a cold re-boot.) When I do get the BSOD, the error is ALWAYS the "did not get a response from the secondary processor" yada yada. I wish HP would just admit they shipped this model out with a bad processor/motherboard/whatever and do an official recall. I have owned PCs for the last 13 years and this is the worst and most consistently disappointing experience I have ever had.
What is the hardware issue? Which part is the lemon part? The motherboard? The processor? The BSODs seem to indicate a bad processor. I do have the Pegatron Truckee version 1.03 motherboard. Is that the problem?
P.S. I have contacted HP on many occasions about this, literally stayed on the phone for hours with "customer support" (according to one HP rep, 80% of their customer service reps are based outside of the United States...good luck getting any "technical" help from them) to no avail. I did talk to one nice tech support guy in Canada who said "it sounds like your unit has a bad processor", so he had HP send me a box to ship my unit to their repair center so they can replace the processor. However, I have also had HP reps tell me it could be anything from the memory to the hard drive. Multiple HP reps claimed to me that they have "received no complaints" about this system. One guy told me he "thought he got an email last week" regarding "something" about the system, but couldn't remember what it was and he put me on hold while he searched for the email. He never found it. What a joke.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the crashing issue has been happening since day one, but initially I thought it was an issue with Vista. I had never owned or used Vista before, so I thought maybe Vista was just unstable. Nope. I know several people who own Vista and have never experienced these issues. I have downloaded every update from Microsoft/Windows Update. I have upgraded to Vista SP2 with all the latest drivers and software for all of my hardware. No luck. It is definitely a hardware issue. Thank god HP's warranty is good for 1 year (I bought my Elite in July).

Unfortunately I have to add my disastrous encounter with HP's E9180F a true lemon HP is selling. I must take some responsibility for not carefully researching this model before I purchased, but I trusted the HP name and got stung- big time.
The scoundrel :
HP and its Pavilion Elite e9180f
Windows 7 64bit
motherboard - Pegatron Truckee ver 1.03
BIOS ver 5.22Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
Memory 9206 MB Ram
As so many others have reported my HP E9180f started locking up and going to BSOD right out of the box. My first freeze-up came when I was doing the Windows update process. At first I didn't think much about it but I started getting random freezes a couple time a day. At that point I went online to see if others had experienced the same problem and perhaps had a fix. What I found was very troubling; I found extensive documentation describing my exact problems and what was really horrifying was the reports of how ridiculous HP's help services were treating people with the problem. At first I didn't totally believe what I was reading on HP's own customer forum; I do now.
·         I've went through the total recovery process three times now, HP techs have spent hours remotely running my computer, (yes it did lock up on them to)
·         I had to upgraded the BIOS. (HP tech tried, said he had, but he hadn't)
·         I was directed to clear the BIOS (luckily for me I had the tools
·         Updated all drivers again and again.
·         Next I was asked to remove the video card, memory, and motherboard power cable and reseat them. I declined because I didn't want to give HP any reason to void my HP 2 year House Call Care Pack which covers this unit. When I invited HP to send a service tech out to perform these tasks, they said that house call only covers part replacement, we weren't replacing a part. I couldn't believe what I was told. Are you feeling my frustration?
Keep in mind that each time HP requests that I make changes, they then ask me to test the system, which I did and each time with the same result, BSOD
I'm heading into my fifth week of working with HP to fix this problem. and I still haven't even been able to get my case moved up to a senior case manager, what a joke HP's help process is.
One conversation I loved was;
HP tech: "I'll have a senior case manager call you within 24 hours."
Skeptical me: "What should I do if I don't get a call?"
Silence, no response.
Me again: "What should I do if I don't get a call?"
HP tech: "That's an impossibility."
Guess what? The impossibility became reality (I bet you guessed) .
HP's last stall tactic was to have me fax them my proof of purchase and invoice and call back in 24 hours. Where have I heard that before? Apparently nothing can go forward until they receive it. So I faxed them the stuff within 10 minutes, and when I called back 24 hours later, guess what, you're right it wasn't on their system yet. I asked couldn't I be escalated to a senior case manager (it's apparent that only a senior case manager can do anything). "No," was the tech's reply, "call back again later".
Please if anyone out there knows the secrete to getting a senior case manager, or an HP tech support number here in the U.S. so I can get this thing fixed I'd love to know it.
Fast becoming HP never again.

Installation problem on Solaris

I am trying to install sun one 7.0 on Solaris 8. The install is failing with this error:
ERROR - library load failed with following error: Can't load library: /opt/SUNWappserver7/lib/libinstallCore.so
INFO - End core server uninstallation
anyone know what causes this??
cheers

Looks like Solaris package installation failed and installer reverted to uninstallation sequence. For low level pkgadd log please check /var/sadm/install/logs/Sun_ONE_Application_Server_install.B<timestamp> file (timestamp is date and time of your installation attempt in mmddHHMM format).
Look for any errors in this file. Most likely thing that could have happened is that the installation of Java Help (SUNWjhrt) package failed because you didn't have existing package based J2SE installation on the system. If that's the case, workaround is to either preinstall package based J2SE installation or to selected option to install bundled J2SE that comes with application server.

Installation problem on Solaris 10

Dear All,
We are trying to install j2sdk 1.4.2_13 on solaris server zone. I have downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin
But when I try to execute this:
#./j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin
It gives me error: The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag
Tried with -console:
The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: Invalid command line option: console is not supported (10
01) (403)
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/2599368
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/6183226
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/1222839
Then tried with -silent:
This time command just completed w/o any output at all.
Please suggest what can I do?
regards, Sean.

Dear Siddhesh,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried using X Manager GUI for my Solaris. But when I double click the j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin file to run it, it simply denies saying:
The filename "j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin" indicates that this file is of type "Unknown type". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "Shell script". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "Shell script", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.
Also /tmp has full authorizations:
drwxrwxrwt 7 root sys 557 Jun 24 08:34 tmp
I dont have Hummingbird for X11 forwarding with this client. Do I have any other option??
regards, Sean.

New to Solaris, Some Samba and NTFS issues.

Hi Im new to solaris and trying out ZFS which has been great.
Im haivng some trouble that I cant find up to date info on so here goes:
First how do you mount an NTFS volume in Solaris 11 Express?
I need to access the data on an NTFS drive to populate my new ZFS tank.I never had a need for it but I think you'll have to compile fuse ntfs-3g manually.

Secondly, I have read only access on my samba shares from windows machines but my smb.conf looks right. a copy of my smb.conf will follow
Any suggestions would be appreciated.You don't need to use Samba in Solaris 11 Express.

Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter?
I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor.
I tried detecting it via my display settings, but I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it.
Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!

Hi,
All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
Click Personalize
Click Display
Click Change display settings
Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.
Regards.
BH
