Solaris 8 (Intel) and Voodoo Banshee

Hi all,
I need install the Solaris 8 operation system in a INTeL machine and it has this kind of video card. Please, there is a driver for this video card?
I downloaded the Solari's HCL and I could not see this card in the Capatibility List. If someone have some way to do this, please send me a email or the driver.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Not sure about Windows 95.
But yes, I have done dual boot with Windows 98 and Solaris 8.
I installed Solaris 8 first, used only 50% of disk for Solaris and then installed Windows 98.
May be somebody else in forum can share their experience with Win95.
Thanks
Kalpesh

Differences between solaris Intel and solaris Sparc

Hi,
I'm new to this solaris world. But I've been using other flavour of unix. I just wondering if somebody could explain to me the differences between Intel version and Sparc version, please? If you have any website that explain it all would be great.
Thank you in advance.
regards,
zonex

It's more of a question of what architecture you would run it on. But a few things software wise:
SPARC has 64-bit OS support
SPARC generally has more 3rd party software available
SPARC is supported by Sun, Intel is being phased out
Intel I percieve as faster than lower-end SPARC
They are not binary compatible, so you can't run SPARC binaries on Intel and vice versa.

Solaris Intel to Solaris SunSparc Portability

Hi. Is anyone out there aware of any code portability issues for
a software application that is written on Solaris Intel and subsequently
deployed on a Solaris Sun Sparc workstation ?
Does the code need to be tuned ?
If needed, what is the effort required ?
Thanks.
Aran

The source code is the same for both versions of Solaris. As long as
your code doesn't make any ISA or endian assumptions, your port
should be nothing more than a recompile.

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

Porting PCI board from Solaris Intel to Sparc

Our own PCI board which has been working on Solaris(8) Intel for years does not seem to be recognized by Solaris(8) for Sparc. At the prom level a show-devs shows the device ie: pci1234,5678 but booting with 'boot -rswv' does not. Two questions:
1. Is the process of scanning hardward and making entries in the /devices directory documented anywhere that I might access?
2. What might be different between Solaris-Intel and Solaris-Sparc when dealing with PCI devices?
The platform for our testing is an AXE-300 3 slot PCI Ultra Sparc.
Thanks in advance
[email protected]
(781)-482-1215

The 'prtconf -pv' command does show the presence of our board
pretty much matching what is displayed when running prtconf on
the Intel system with the exception that the Intel results under the
'compatible:' header shows a series of 32 bit hex values while the
Sparc output for 'compatible:' shows "'pci1234,5678' +
'pciclass,ff0000'".
Furthermore running:
truss -f -a add_drv -v -m '* 0666 root bin' -i '"pci1234,5678"' pixgen
seems to show the point of failure occurring in 'devfsadm -v -i pixgen'
as follows: (note I've cleaned up the output a bit for readability).
open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 5
ioctl(5, 0xDF81, 0xFFBEF8F8) Err#6 ENXIO
close(5)
devfsadm then returns an exit code=11 and reports that the driver
was 'successfully added ... but failed to attach'.
I added a number of trace statements to each entry point in the
driver using the cmn_err function and compiled for Intel and Sparc
and verified that the driver continued to work on Intel and indeed
showed each routine being entered but I never got even one line
of output on the Sparc. That presents a couple of questions.
1. I'm using an old compiler: Sun's CC workshop Compiler 4.2 30
Oct 1996 on both platforms. The Sparc platform is a sun4m (ss-10).
Is it possible that this old compiler is not generating proper code for
the sun4u platform? The compiler and linker switches are:
cc -xstrconst -DKERNEL -DDEBUG -DPIXGENDEBUG=255 -c driver.c
ld -r -m -o pixgen driver.o
pkgadd installs the driver as /usr/kernel/drv/pixgen
2. The driver installation using pkgadd places the following line in
/etc/devlink.tab: 'type=io;minor=pixgen0 pixgen'. Is this
possibly an issue?
Any help/insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks

OpenGL and GLX on Solaris Intel

Can OpenGL and GLX be added to Solaris Intel without having to use Xfree86?
I have built the Mesa libraries but still need the GLX extensions.
Does any one know of an easy solution?

Hi Senthilkumar,
Thanks for reply!

Solaris intel (x86) DCA not saving when rebooted.

I'm working with a Panasonic CF-71 toughbook laptop. I have loaded the 2.6 Solaris intel OS and the Xig PCMCIA patch. I have been successful in getting a 3Com 3C589D card to work, but only if I enter into DCA at boot time and delete the PnP ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3 and then add a ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3. Unfortunately this must be done every time the system is rebooted. Does any one know of a way to do this delete/add using the /etc/system file? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi
I have download Solaris 9 x86 and Cd1 at boot time gives the same error as you mentioned. I am using my Toshiba Satellite A60. I have check the HDL list and its not listed there. Does it mean I can not install Solaris 9 x86 on this box. When I boot I get the same error which is mentioned above.
For more information I never installed Solaris in past and have no idea which Disk space /partition to be created it talks about in Install Guide.
Can some please clarify and do let me know where am I going wrong and how to fix it.
Thanks in Advance

You should follow the doc that you found for solaris, the thing is that the patches and fixes for this that you would found are for the PARISC server, if you can get the same patches and fixes for your intel server, use them and if you can't start the installation process, try to run installer like runInstaller.sh -ignoresysprereqs.

OpenMP on Solaris/Intel

Hi,
Will OpenMP be supported on Solaris/Intel?
Erling

c> Has there been a time set on when this configuration will be tested

I'm afraid this is unlikely to happen at all. As far as I know,
Solaris on Intel doesn't represent a large enough target market to be
worth porting to. What little market share it ever gained is being
rapidly eaten by Linux.

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.

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.

I have checked this site and i also downloaded the version 8.1.7 for solaris. when i try to run the ./runInstaller file it gives me a error as "Syntax error on line number 1" and returns back to $prompt. I was told that this is the version only for Sun Sparc Solaris. There is no 8i version for Solaris 8 on intel platform.
Is that right ??.. or do U have some more information on that. probably anybody has tried that or so ??..

Oracle 8i on Solaris Intel (create dabase failed!)

Hi All,
I having been trying to create an oracle database on my Solaris
Intel box for a while now but the process always fails when its
about to create the sample database. It fails with an error:
ORA-03113 - unexpected end of channel reached.
And then I keep getting an "Oracle not available" message.
I am not doing anything extraordinary, just the normal
installation.
My guess is that there maybe something wrong in the gerenared
pfile. what dow you think?
