Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 Install problem

When I boot with the Install CD (Solaris 8 Software 1/2),
in the next screen of install:
Select the type of instllation you want yo perform:
1 Solaris Interactive
2 Custom Jumpstart
After selecting one of the two options it appears the next error:
Booting kernel/unix...
do_relocate: bad strndx 3275
do_relocations:/kernel/genunix do_relocated failed
Krtld:error during initial bad/link phase
P.D Im using the Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 booting from CD.
In fact, If I use the Solaris 8 Installation CD theres is no problem on booting the kernel from the CD.
Any Idea?
Thanks.

Kalpesh - do you work in support? Most users don't have the luxury
of spare media or systems to experiment with:-)
Perhaps the original poster could tell us the exact HW config so
others can offer suggestions?

Solaris 8 4/01 Install Problem on Compaq Deskpro

Howdy,
I am trying to install Solaris 8 4/01 on a Compaq Deskpro 6000 but I am having a problem at the reboot phase. The instructions indicate that I need to eject the Install CD after the system resets and before the memory test/HW detection phase. My question is, how do I know when this occurs...there is no screen output to tell me when this is happening. Also, The system seems to hang on reboot on a Compaq Logo screen with the hourglass just sitting there doing nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Dennis,
The installation program should tell you when it is going to restart the system. You will be asked to 'press any key/enter to continue."
Immediately when your system is restarted, remove any CDs from your drives.
If your system is hanging while it is showing the Compaq logo, trying pressing the 'ESC' key so that you can see what is actually going on.
I hope this helps.

Solaris 10 Companion Disk Install Problem

Hi All,
Trying to add a few things to a Solaris 10 (Sparc) install, from the
Software Compainion disk. When I go through the install, either GUI
or texted based it will fail in the end. If you look at the last part
of the text below you can you can see I have selected the packages,
then agreed to the license, next it acts like it going to install but
stop and reports nothing installed.
Next you can select 4 to be "Done" or 1-3 to view log.
Log states following:
/var/sadm/install/logs/Desktop-Environment_install.B02081004 does not
exist
I only selected one of the logs to view that time through, but the
other installs would have the same error, something like:
/var/sadm/install/logs/X-Applications_install.B02080955 does not exist
/var/sadm/install/logs/Application-Utilities_install.B02080955 does not
exist
I have plenty of disk space, 12GB free on /opt and 14GB free on / and
16GB on /usr.
I have the boxed set of Solaris 10 disk, but I have even downloaded
another disk image thinking my disk was some how bad, still same
results.
Any ideas on what is going on?
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,
If you cd into the cdrom from command line:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0
# ls
you should see some kind of structure to how the the packages are laid out on the disk.
Use pkgadd on one or more package:
# pkgadd -d . <package_name>
You will get more output this way.

White 20 inch intel mac osx install problem

I'm trying to reinstall OSX Lion onto an older, 2.16 GHZ, 20 inch intel Mac. I had to reinitialize the hard drive before the install. When I try to perform the install it tells me that "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. The disk was reinitialized using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have noticed, however, that when I select the hardrive (not the partition) in Disk Utility that the Volume Format is MS-DOS (FAT).
Any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated.
Gary

The partition should be GUID and the Hard Drive should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
BTW it's an iMac.

Intel iMac RAM install problems

Hello,
I have recently purchased a new 17" intel iMac with the standard 512MB memory. Looking to add more RAM, I bought a third party 512MB chip and put it into my computer. It worked fine for as long as I had it on. After I shut it down and booted the next day, my iMac did not recognize the new RAM. I took the RAM out and put it back in and it worked until i shut it down again. Since then, I have had to take the door off for the computer to see the RAM. Anyway, my question is has anyone else had this problem, and is there a solution, other than buy expensive Apple RAM.
iMac intel Core Duo 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

What brand RAM is it and who did you buy it from?
There is no such thing as "Apple RAM" as Apple gets it from a variety of sources. I use Patriot RAM in both my first gen G5 iMac and my BlackBook with no problems at all. Others have used Crucial, G.SKILL, Mushkin, Corsair, Samsung, OWC as well as a ton of others with similar success.

Solaris 9 and Updatemanager install problems

I recently installed the Sun Connection on a Solaris 9 setup. I had to load JDK 1.5.0_12 packages and then install the Sun Connection products.
I was able to finally see that "updatemanager" is present. It worked great. It accepted by contract information. I tried to load five security patches including a kernel patch. It worked. After the reboot however, the updatemanager GUI only reports the dialog box "unknown subcommand getdocument". While it invokes, it no longer has information. I have experimented with JAVA settings and path statements. What can I do next?
The install was downloaded from a Sun site and it says Sun Connection Update Manager v1.0.10 - 22 August 2007 from the README. What can be done to get "updatemanager" to invoke again and not abort so early in the analysis?

Are they going to put out a patch to fix what they broke?
I have the same issue. Got to love the lack of QA. At least I'm very used to it after a couple years. :-)

Install Oracle on Solaris Intel

I have purchased Oracle8i Enterprise Edition, Release 2(8.1.6) for Intel Unix(Solaris Intel), and have installed successfully. However, as soon as I shut down and reboot the machine, I can connect to sqlplus
internal, but I cannot log into the database as "sys".
The procedure I did is as following:
Immediately after the installation (message says "installation successful"),
1. Log in as user "oracle" in the Bourne shell.
2. At the $ prompt, type "sqlplus internal"
3. It come out with SQL prompt
4. SQL> show user ( I typed show user under SQL prompt)
5. Then it return "sys"
Things seemed to work fine at that point.
But, when I shut down and reboot the machine and logon again, and follow the same steps 1-5 as above, it did not work. When I did the "show user" command at SQL prompt, the user is not "sys", instead it returned
" ". I followed the installation guide and tried to reinstall 5 times.
Every time I had the same problem. I was wondering if this is a bug in
the CD. How can I solve it?
Thanks,
Lillian

Got past this spot... Thanks to the beefier shared memory/semaphore settings in this website (from another response in this forum)

64-bit compilation problem on Solaris/Intel: 7th argument not initialized

I have a problem when compiling a program on a 64-bit Solaris Intel server. The problem is that when calling a function, if the 7th or next arguments are long arguments and I pass uncasted small integers values to it, the first 32-bit of my values are uninitialized.
I have isolated the problem in the following source code.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>
void fnc1(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)
long a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h;
printf("%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld\n", a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h);
void main()
fnc1(0x10101010deadbeef,0x20202020deadbeef,
     0x30303030deadbeef,0x40404040deadbeef,
     0x50505050deadbeef,0x60606060deadbeef,
     0x70707070deadbeef,0x80808080deadbeef);
fnc1(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
}I compile it using the following command:
cc src1.c -g $* -m64 -o prog1.exeWhen I run the resulting .exe, I get the following result:
1157442768875667183,2314885534015405807,3472328299155144431,4629771064294883055,5787213829434621679,6944656594574360303,8102099359714098927,-9187201948855714065
1,2,3,4,5,6,8102099355978170375,-9187201952591642616The problem is that the first 32 bits of my 7th and 8th arguments are not initialized when the function is called.
I know that in the following cases, I do not have the problem:
- if I cast the arguments;
- on other platforms (AIX, SunOs/Sparc, HPUX) or if I compile in 32-bit;
- if I use optimization (-xO1 to -xO5) ;
- if I prototype my function at the beginning of my source (void fnc1(long a,long b,long c,long d,long e,long f,long g,long h););
I have over 1,000,000 lines of existing code to support. I am afraid using optimization would have other impacts and for now, I cast the arguments as problems are reported. Would there be a better way to handle this? By using a compiler switch?
Thanks in advance.

But if you are passing to an ellipsis, you either cast actual arguments to the type the function expects, or the function extracts the default promoted type. Such code always works ...Yes, and developers should attempt to accomplish just that. Alas this is very difficult to ensure, particularly given the lack of a run-time type checking mechanism.In theory, proper use of the ellipsis function would be documented, and programmers would read and follow the documentation. In practice, some programmers don't read the instructions, or forget them, or someone ill-advisedly changes the way the function works so that existing calls stop working. Variable-argument functions are a fragile mechanism. (I program almost exclusively in C++, which has combinations of features such that variable-argument functions are rarely, if ever, needed.)
Can one even assume that the value of the NULL macro is correct? Never, because the C standard allows a variety of definitions for NULL, and implementations vary. Passing NULL to an ellipsis is a recipe for failure. Don't do it.

Suppose you have function FI with an ellipsis that expects to get int arguments, and another FL that expects to get long arguments. When you port the code to a 64-bit environment, function FL fails. If you use the -signext option, function FI will fail.Ah, but for us FL never fails, since the compilers always widen the arguments. I fail to see the circumstance in which widening would cause FI to fail, could you please give a more specific example?
void FI(int count, ...)
    va_list va;
    va_start(va, count);
    int t;
    while( --count >= 0) {
       t = va_arg(va, int);
       do_something(t);
}Function FI expects to extract 32-bit int arguments. If compiled with -signext, the calling function will pass 64-bit arguments. Perhaps the -signext option also causes the 32-bit extraction to be changed to a 64-bit extraction. I have no personal experience with the option, and I'm not in a position where I can experiment right now.

Installing Oracle 8i in Solaris Intel Version With Pentium 4

Hi Guys,
I am trying to Install Oracle 8i under Solaris 8 Intel version with Pentium 4 processor fixed.But iam'nt able to continue after I click "Install" button,the runInstaller exited badly with no response.I was told that even Installing Oracle under Windows P4 is facing the same problem,but on searching I got solution by renaming a DDL file before starting installation.Is there any similar method to do for installing it under p4 processor on solaris intel 8 version.

Installation Guides should be clear enough, if read. Also read Release Notes for additional support/unsupport info.

Can you install Oracle 9i on Solaris Intel ? 32 / 64 bit

Hello dear people,
I'm trying to install the 9i Database for Sun SPARC (32-bit) on an Intel machine with Solaris 8 running. I followed all steps of the installation documentation, but when I try to execute the runInstaller programm, I get always the following error:
Syntax error at row 1: '(' unexpected.
Can you tell me, which is actually the terminal Release for Intel Solaris? I were very pleased.

Solaris 8 Install Problem - Partition(s)

First, I am a relative "newbie" when it comes to SUN Solaris and System Adminstration, though I know enough UNIX to be dangerous (read "get me into trouble" - hahaha).
I tried to do an "upgrade" to the O/S (2.7) on my Ultra 5, but when doing an "initial install", the system will only allow me to set the partitions/slices manually at the cylinder level. Any attempts to do so have failed, as I keep getting an "overlapping cylinder" error message, regardless of how I try to setup root, /usr, etc. The Solaris 8 O/S setup swap as follows:
Starting - 3275 Size - 1110
FYI, I was trying to do the install using the Solaris 8 CDROM, Solaris build date 2/02.
Overall, I appear to be having a lot of issues with the Seagate Medalist ST34321A (4.1 Gbyte) drive that came with my Sun Ultra 5. The drive appears to work correctly, but an attempts to "wipe out" the drive (reformat) have not met with success.
Any suggestions anyone can provide regarding the install problem would be appreciated.

If you are trying to Upgrade to Sol 8 it is strongly suggested that you do not use the Installation CD. Use CD 1 of 2 with a boot cdrom. You will have to answer the sysid questions and then should get prompted for Initial Install or Upgrade. If you do not get the Upgrade prompt then there is a problem with your original Sol 7 system. Things like nfs mounts in vfstab, links to /var/sadm/patch, pkg or install/contents.
An Upgrade should not be asking you to lay out filesystems. It should use your existing ones.

Solaris 2.6 install problems

Yes, I know 2.6 is an antique, but without going into a lot of boring details, it's what I'm stuck with.
Anyway, I have been trying to load 2.6 to an Ultra10, specifically to start fresh and re-partition the drive for my own evil purposes. I am using the 2.6 cdrom.
I am able to indentify the system, etc., with no problems until this:
Executing SolStart preinstall phase...
Executing begin script "install_begin"...
Begin script install_begin execution completed
Exiting (caught signal 8)
Type suninstall to restart
When I type suninstall, I loop back to the beginning, indentify the system and time zone, and then back to this same place. What's up?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phil

Thanks a lot...!!!You made our day....it worked for us!!!
Rohini.
Hi,
We had the same problem, on solaris 8 trying to install the enterprise version of 9iAS, it stopped at 30% and in the log file was the OutOfMemory exception you mentioned.
The solution we found was to give the installer (OUI) more memory!!! The JRE that executes the OUI was configured to use a maximum of 32MB for the memory allocation pool (see $ORACLE_BASE/jre/1.1.8/jre_config.txt about -mx option) which doesn't seem to be enough!
This parameter can be modified for OUI in the following file:
$ORACLE_BASE/oui/oraparam.ini
change the following parameter:
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx32m"
we found that
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx64m"
was enough, but you have to be patient! We got other errors but we got as far as the configuration wizards.
hope this helps, Takeshi.

Solaris 10 install problem (requested image to big to fit into memory)

I have just downloaded the iso images and burned to disk. When I go to install I get the message (Requested image to big to fit into memory Error 28) I have 1.5GB so I don't understand the problem. Thanks in advance
It took a long time for me to figure out, but the answer is disable in BIOS memory hole at 15M to 16M. This solved the install problem with Open Solaris and quite a few more such as not being able to install Linux Zenwalk 5.0 or openSUSE 10.3. Their are others also problems I have had with Linux or UNIX that this took care of. JGZ
Edited by: jgz on Mar 8, 2008 9:13 PM

Hi,
I had been able to solve the Error 28 issue that in my case was really related to a corrupted boot image:
1. I went in the path /a/platform/i86pc
2. rm boot_archive.
3. sync
4. reboot
At this point the OS will notice the absence of the boot_image and it will regenerate it.
At the time of this operation the CD with solaris 10 was inserted in the CDROM.
When the system restarted it was able to load the OS properly.
Please use these information at your own risk. I do not accept any liablity.
Cheers
